Capt Rice. master of the Mon

explosion Immediately after the L

The submarine was maneuvering
for an attack when she was sent
down but SO quick and skiliful were
the United States naval gunners that
the Germans did not have an OPP
portunity to fire a shell or torpedo.
The American gunners worked
under a handicap, for the weather
was thick and hay when the sub
marine was sighted but despite this
difficulty they quickly accounted for
the hostile submersible.
Subs sink 30 ships.
The week ending April %. was
the most successful for the German
submarines since the ruthless U-boat
warfare started OF the SIS ships
