Survivors told of night of horror as the Italians drowned by scores, leaping over the side nd overturning lifeboat. Screams pierced the darkness as sharks dragged off persons who clung to the overcrowded boats. Some who came through the night alive were horribly man gled by sharp-toothed barracuda. Soon after the attack the sub marines came to the surface and picked up many survivors, In cluding several hundred of the Italians, who later were trans ferred to lifeboats. One German officer apolo gized "for having to put Italians Into the lifeboats with you Brit ishers." Ship's officers and Royal Air force men were taken prisoner by the Germans, but other sur vivors were released after short period on the submarines, during which they were given wine end cigarettes. About SB women and children spent the night on a submarine.
