Fraser signalled to Burnett that he was going to remain with the convoy as they had no chance of closing the Scharnhorst.
Fisher's four destroyers would not be put off their prey at the last minute so Belfast steamed away to assume an outlying position and the four destroyers raced in on the attack.

 HMS Electra
An 'E Class' destroyer, The Electra was sunk by gunfire from the Japanese destroyer Asagumo while protecting the damaged heavy cruiser HMS Exeter.
The only other WWII loss in that localized area was the Dutch destroyer Kortenaer (lost the same day) and she was configured differently (her torpedoes were mounted in a brace of three instead of Electra's four) and from all reports Kortenaer broke in half almost immediately upon being torpedo.
As an aside, you may be interested to know that Electra herself is nowhere near where ANY of the allied reports state she sank or the after action battle maps drawn by the Allies show she sunk, but VERY close to where the Japanese after battle maps show she sunk.

 George MacDonald Fraser interviews
Flashman was rejected by "at least a dozen publishers", but MacDonald Fraser's wife, Kathy (a fellow journalist), quoted to him a line from The Treasure of the Sierra Madre: "Boy, you don't know the riches you're standing on!" And she was right.
MacDonald Fraser was born in Scotland, and educated at the Glasgow Academy, but before that spent six years over the border, at Carlisle Grammar School, where for centuries English boys were bred to fight the Scots.
We're talking in a new and remote American-owned hotel, and MacDonald Fraser is airing his reactionary views - about declining standards in football and rugby, the harmful effects of "counselling" and "the victim complex", the "hysteria" surrounding the death of Diana, Princess of Wales - to the background noise of slot machines.

Bantock was married in 1898 to Helena von Schweizer, and the newly-weds had Edward and Alice Elgar (not yet Sir and Lady) to stay in the summer of 1899, for Elgar to conduct a very early performance of the 'Enigma' Variations on 16 July.
Bantock still did not have a regular source of income and it was as a teacher and educationalist that he was soon to make his living, when his reputation at New Brighton coupled with Elgar's recommendation led to his appointment as Principal of the Midland School of Music in Birmingham in 1900.

There are a number of important concerns conflated therein-apparent ingratitude for US intervention on Australia's behalf in the Pacific War, anti-Americanism and its implied pro-Communist source, the irrational evangelism of anti-nuclear protestors, the futility of non-alignment, and a vivid evocation of Australia, denuded and surrounded by predators.
