This warning Of Mari action

lenge Of the British navy itself.
These capital vessels. which may
possibly include one of the Reich's
new 35,000-ton battleshlps such as
the Bismarck or Tirpitz. were
credited by the high command
with having blasted % merchant
ships. aggregating 10000 tons. TO

The doomed vessels were believed
TO have included the first major
lease-lend cargoes from America.
Sailors Tell of Signals
"a report that a British tanker
and a freighter may have been
sunk by a German submarine
off the Grand Banks of New
foundland, about 300 miles at
sea, was brought to an eastern
Canadian port by crew men,
bers of a cargo ship. They said
that distress signals were heard
several days ago from the
tanker and freighter. saying
they were being shelled. and
that nothing had been heard
from the vessels since).
Moreover. an additional four
ships totaling $4,000 tons were
said in Berlin TO have been so
severely damaged and set afire by
air bombing over the Mediter-
ranean and British coastal waters
that their loss may be reckoned
with" although they were not
stated to have been sunk. These
included a 12.000-ton modern oil
tanker bombed near Crete.
Thus it was indicated that 81
merchant ships. aggregating 1885,
600 tons. probably were destroyed
in the latest wave of German
attacks.
In addition. probable sinking of
a British naval destroyer by luft-
waite bombers near Malta was
also claimed.
