After 20 minutes the submarine
pulled away, leaving the ship ap-
parently helpless with a damaged

among the dories but did not fire.
So close did the U-boat come to a
dory that one fisherman, Herman

with an oar, which broke. Five
others were in the same dory.
During the shelling Dan Maloney

en- route home, but the pumps
averted further danger.
The Lark brought its catch in
