TO the paragraph in the German note

Spain on July Is.
Tho LAndovory Castle was tor

saved. The German submarine made
no effort TO aid tho survivors. and
even tried TO sink at least ono OF the
lifeboatS.
I After tho I.ydiana had been tor
, pedoed two whaleboats and a raft
were lowered. The German submarine
rammed both boats, cutting them In
two. After several fruitless attempts
the submarine succeeded In sinking
the raft and then disappeared with
out helping the survivors. Nire men
OF the crew OF forty-two were picked
up later. having clung to wreckage
for more than day. The second
engineer OF the Lydiana reported that
the crew Of the submarine hat
