sent 200 shells at the big tanker, max

deadly hail came.
German Courtesy Commented On.
Naval officers assume that the sub
marine was armed with the six-lnch
rifles mounted by most OF the newest
undersea boats. No statement was
available as to the armament OF the
Moreni, nor as to whether she was
one OF the vessels that sailed without
waiting for full equipment, including

ners to get the submarine was at
tributed generally to the long range
and small target.
