Watkins, Richard Howells "A Birth in Bermuda"

Another of Watkins’ “the Germans are taking over” World War 2 plot (see also his “Action Offshore”). An American merchant marine officer sets sail as a passenger aboard a ramshackle Greek freighter from New York City, bound for Bermuda where his next berth is waiting. A “bunch of Nazis” soon take over the vessel and then plan to scuttle her at the entrance to the Bermuda channel so that Allied ships will not be able to get into either the naval dockyard or Hamilton harbor. Our quick-thinking American, of course, outsmarts the duplicious Germans and foils their nefarious plot.
