Way of the Submarine Recalls German Raider Actions
In the British Admiralty Court a Norwegian captain Captain Anton Amundsen gave a graphic account of a German submarine raider in the Channel. He described being tailed off the Casquets on Oct 21 last year and ordered to leave the ship. The submarine sank a sailing vessel and a second one, then a British transport arrived and the two ships collided as rough seas tossed boats. The German commander asked where the cargo came from and what it carried, and the captain replied Swansea with coal, which appeared to satisfy them.
