There's no flowers on a sailors grave
No lilies on an ocean wave
The only tribute is a seagull's sweep
And the teardrop on a loved one's cheek

Chronicle 2nd October 1915
THE LATE MR. R. SINCLAIR-WOOD, R.N.R. News has been received of the death of Mr. Ronald Sinclair-Wood. R.N.R., who lost his life as the result of the torpedoing of a British auxiliary cruiser in the North Sea. Mr. Sinclair-Wood was the eldest son of Mrs. Marion and the late Mr. Alexander Sinclair- Wood, of Barton-terrace, North Adelaide. Born at Port Augusta. He was educated at the Mount Gambier Grammar School, and afterwards joined an engineering firm at the Outer Harbor. He went to England to complete his course of engineering. When the war broke out he was in the Black Sea on the steamer Mars, which got through the Dardanelles in time, and ran for a port in Greece. 0n reaching England he enlisted, and was on board the Bayano when that vessel was struck by a torpedo. The vessel was blown to pieces and sank in four minutes. Of a crew of 216, only 26 were saved. One of the rescued medical officer, who was badly cut about the legs, related that most of the crew were unprepared for the attack. He said he was in his cabin when the vessel was struck. He put on some of his clothes, and stepped from the cabin into the water, the vessel having taken an acute water. Another survivor stated that without waiting for orders he rushed to get lifebelts and had distributed several when the captain clapped him on the back and said, 'Good lad! Good lad! Save yourself.The captain then shook hands with the men and stepped on to the bridge. Tho next moment the ship began to go down with the captain at his post. The survivors were floating about on rafts for some hours before being rescued. |
