Toll of Submarines
Reaches Total of 231

NEW YORK, June l (P.-South-
ern waters churned with enemy tor
pedoes last month as undersea raid
ers concentrated their fury on Al
lied and neutral shipping in the
Gulf Of Mexico area.
Pillng up war total of 231 Navy
announced sinkings in the Western
Atlantic from Canada to South
America, the submarines picked off
l3 victims in the lf-Caribbean
sector alone.
With the sinking May 20 Of two
American merchantmen in the
Caribbean within sight of each
other, and on May 81 of a Nor
Uegian cargo ship in the Gulf. the
number of sinkings in that area
since Pearl Harbor rose to IS. in
Cluding II vessels sunk last week,
-Four were announced by the Navy
yesterday.
The boldneSs OF the Axis submer-
slbles was exemplified by two at
tacks within three days on the
United States destroyer Blakeley,
one on neutral Brazils Com
mandante Lyra-seventh Brazilian
ship to be torpedoed-and the sink
ing of two Mexican oil tankers.
Last week saw the first Gulf ap-
pearance of a tiny Axis subma-
rine which. unlike previously OBJ
served enemy raiders, carried no
desk guns, but sank a medium sized
merchantmen with three torpedoes.
Elsewhere on this side of the At
lantic. the Axis raiders methodical-
ly continued activities, accounting
for four officially reported sinkings
between May Is and 81 off the
United States East Coast to bring
that areas war total to Ill an
nounced sinkings.
Three more victims sent to the
bottom off Canada last week brought
the total there to 33, while South

Three Midget Jap
Subs Believed Sunk
In Sydney Harbor
Residents Have Exciting
Night; Damage to
Shipping Averted
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SYDNEY, Australia, June l.
japanese midget submarines,
apparently launched from a
mother ship off the Australian
coast, sneaked into the Sydney
Harbor last night to be greeted
by a thunder of gunflre and
depth charges which probably
sank three of the tiny craft and
thus averted damage to vital
shipping.
The only achievement of the
suicide raiders, believed similar to
the midget undersea craft which fig
ured in the attack on Pearl Harbor
December 7, was the sinking of an
old steamer used as a ferry.
The raid, however, carried the
war to Southern Australia for the
first time and gave the residents of
Sydney-the largest city in this
broad continent-an exciting night
punctuated by the sounds of heavy
gunfire.
After the attack. Prime Minister
John Curtin conferred for four
hours with Gen. Douglas Macarthur
at Melbourne. On leaving, the
Prime Minister said they had dis
cussed important questions connect
ed with Southwest Pacific opera
tions, but his satisfaction was so
evident that there was speculation
that the Allied leaders had received
good news Of the Sydney raid beyond
that already published.
Some observers speculated on the
possibility that the submarines
mother ship had been damaged or
captured.
The submarines, which presum-
ably slipped through narrow ship
ping lane in the mile wide harbor
entrance, were spotted first at about
II pm. and two sudden gunshots
from Allied defense batteries
touched off the defense. Beams of
searchlights Immediately swept the
harbor as more guns fired their
salvoeS.
One searchlight picked up the
periscope and upper portion Of the
coming tower of one submarine,
which was believed sent to the bot
tom by gunfire.
Two other submersibles, Allied
headquarters said, were believed
sunk by depth charges loosed by
Allied naval vessels which combed
the bay in all directions.
Twenty-one passengers aboard a
ferry crossing the harbor when the
shooting broke out had grandstand
seats for the show.
Depth Charges Dropped.
Residents of the city of approx
mately 100000 were kept awake
most of the night by the explosion
Of depth charges dropped in an at
tempts to insure the destruction Of
any raiders which might be hiding
on the bottom
That the midget submarines were
launched from parent ship-prob-
ably somewhere in the Coral Sea
seemed a virtual certainty, for the
tiny undersea craft have only
short range and the nearest Japa-
nese land bases are approximately
1000 miles to the north of Sydney.
1t was recalled that the midget
submarines which figured in the
Pearl Harbor attack were designed
to carry only two men and had a
range of not more than 300 miles.
One of these craft was captured in
tact at Pearl Harbor and another
was reported sunk.
The raid on Sydney was the first
Japanese attack on a major Aus
tralian city, though several small
communities in the north, such as
Darwin, have been bombed from
the air.

Sub Commander Directed
Ships Crew to Safety
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, June (P-An
English-speaking captain of bat
tered U-boat told the survivors of
an American freighter in the Car
ribean how to reach shore and then
delivered the death blow to their
slowly sinking ship.
An hour elapsed between the
opening of the daylight attack and
its ending by third torpedo, sur
vivors of the crew said yesterday.
Just before the U-boat pulled
away, the German officer shouted:
Good luck! 1 hope to see you
again soon."
The freighter's captain, S. Broad
wick Of Baltimore, angry at the loss
of his second ship of the war,
snapped:
so do 7. But in different cir
cumstances."
All Ready to Return.
The crews of this ship and another
one, both torpadoed in the same
waters, were in Baltimore-all grim

just as quickly as they can sign
articles. The second ship was sunk
by one torpedo at night and all 40
members of the crew made Cuba in
a life boat and three lie RATS.
Helmsman Allen j. Burke of Nor
folk, Va, saw the first torpedo just
before it hit Capt Broadwick's ship.
1t killed one of the gun crew. Burke
jammed the wheel over hard but
the second torpedo tore into the
afterdeck, hitting the magazine and
killing two others of the gun crew.
All casualties were Navy men.
The U-boat surfaced as the sur
vivors took to the two lifeboats-the
third was splintered in the attack.
Walter Cash, 81, of Winthrop, Mass,
an ordinary seaman on his first
voyage, said the captain and some
OF the crew came on the deck OF the
skull-and-crossboned sub and took
pictures of the Americans.
Gave Directions to Victims.
Cash said the U-boat captain,
waiting to see whether the listing
freighter would sink without an
other torpedo, asked the Americans
II they knew where they were.
Then he told us" Cash continued.
He said We were 80 miles from
shore and told us how to get there.
He spoke perfect English and he
really was gentleman"

lieved the undersea craft was of re-
cent construction. 1t was of aver
age size and was freshly painted,
he said.
A Brazilian gun crew had no op-
