German sources in Berlin reject criticism of the May 21 sinking of the 5,000 ton American ship Robin Moor bound for Cape Town. They say many ships to England have already been sunk and deem the debate political. A Recife survivor recounts the ship went down in 23 minutes after a torpedo strike, with no one missing from the crew and passengers including a four year old boy.
