with torpedoes and shells, an
Axis submarine sank the Ameri-
can ore carrier Venore of the
North Carolina coast Saturday
morning and % crew members
are believed lost, the Navy an
nounced today.
Twenty-one survivors have been
landed at Norfolk. They said the
sub first sent shell crashing into
the port side of the ship and a tor
pedo followed few minutes later.
The Venore was the eighth
ship attacked on the Atlantic
seaboard during the past two
weeks.
(The Norwegian tanker
Varanger was torpedoed and
sunk by an enemy submarine IS
miles of the New Jersey coast
yesterday but the crew of AZ
was saved)
DlStI CSS YAH lASHCus
The Venores radio operator
flashed distress call at 12:47 am,
stating:
Two crashes SO far. Will keep in
formed Think swimming soon"
The last message cracked out at
l:22 am:
Cannot stay afloat much longer"
The survivors, all in the same life
boat. were picked up after 80 hours
in the water.
Their first comment on reaching
port was to bewail the fact that
their ship was not armed.
Seaman Hubert Clarke OF Boston
declared: If we had had a gun I
would have taken charge of it my
self and blasted that sub out of the
water"
Formerly . Tanker.
The Venore, 8,Ol6-ton, 550-foot
former tanker. had been converted
into an ore carrier.
The 8,016-ton Venore. owned by the
Ore Steamship Co.. was hit at least
twice by torpedoes Friday and it
sank in the Atlantic Saturday morn
ing the Navy said.
The crew members said the sub
marine fired one shell at the ship,
which struck it about amidship on
the port side. A few minutes later
a torpedo crashed into her port side.
Phillip Gonsalves, able bodied sea-
man, of Baltimore, said he was in
the crows nest when "a shell hit the
ship on the port side about amid
ship. l slid down the rigging to the
deck"
After the torpedo struck the ship
few minutes later, Gonsalves said,
The captain said to order the men
not to lower the lifeboats because
the ship was running at full speed
But when I went to give the order
found that three boats already had
been launched"
Clarke was belowsd decks when the
shell struck the ship. Il ran on
deck" he said Il saw the subs
lights about a half mile away A
few minutes later she sent a tor
pedo into the port side"
He and 20 others lowered a life
boat and later I'VE saw another
lifeboat with only two men in it.
We tried to reach them, but the
sea was too rough"
