The navy said:
"The ship was stopped by
gunfire and signals at 12:05 a.
m., on a clear dark night and a
calm sea. Her captain, Americo
Dos Santos, was summoned to
the bridge when blinker signals
were sighted. Engines were
stopped at 12:30.
Boat Sent
"The submarine flashed 'send
a boat.'
"The chief officer, Manuel
Valentine Pinto, and the second
officer were sent with the ship's
papers, the ship passport, lists
of crewmen, passengers and
cargo , manifests.
. "Pinto was held as hostage
aboard the U-boat while the
ship's boat returned with a sub
.marine - officer and a sailor
armed with a tommy gun.
Line Up Everyone
:"The German officer, speak
ing English, ordered the crew
and passengers lined up in the
salon,
"The U-boat officer informed
Captain Dos Santos that he in
tended to take Camilo Grande
Perez, 24, native of Canada and
British citizen. Perez went to
his cabin and failed to reap
pear. "The U-boat officer informed
Dos Santos the ship would be
sunk unless Perez were pro
duced within five minutes.
Search was instituted and Perez
was found and put aboard the
ship's boat,- which returned to
the submarine with him and the
two Germans at about 10:40
a. m.
"Pinto returned in the boat
with a message from the sub
marine that the vessel would
be torpedoed in . 20 , minutes.
Captain Dos Santos immediately
gave the order to abandon ship.
The submarine moved among
the lifeboats in the darkness
and during the dawn. The Ger
man commander had ordered
the Serpa Pinto not to use its
wireless.
"Five hours after the boats
were launched the submarine
approached the captain's, life
boat and took Don Santos
aboard. Describing his inter

er, Dos Santos said the German
appeared to be about 28 years
old and wore a beard.

The U-boat officer stated that
he was awaiting an answer to
his radio message to Berlin in
quiring whether to sink the
ship.
"Calling from the submarine
deck, Dos Santos ordered his
boats to remain near the Serpa
Pinto while the U-boat awaited
decision. ,
"At this time Perez was re
leased and put aboard one of
the boats. At 7:30 a. m. the
German wireless operator hand
ed the commander a message.
The latter informed Dos Santos
that the answer was not defin
ite and there would be a delay
of half hour.
"After a half hour, the Ger
man received word not to sink

trapped.

Near the Rome shoreline, the
British captured Ardca, 24 miles
southeast of Campo Ilmini coast
al anchor of the Rome line. They

by the enemy to be penetrating
the Berlin, Hannover and Bruns
wick areas.
In air blows at Germany, Italy,
France, Belgium, Austria and
Yugoslavia yesterday, the allies
destroyed 81 nazi planes and lost
28. The British air ministry said
25,000 plane attacks in the last

vasion defenses in northwest Eu
rope. - Silence Shattered
The Germans shattered the
brooding silence on the Russian
front with a strong infantry and
tank attack which dented soviet
lines in Romania north of Iasi.
The attack appeared aimed at
upsetting Russian troop concen
trations rather than of starting
a real offensive..
The enemy sent planes to re
connoiter Gen. Eisenhower's in
vasion preparations in England.
