FIGHT WITH U-BOAT
FREIGHTER'S GOOD GUNNERY
Rec. 2 p.m
NEW YORK, May 19
A battered Free French freighter has arrived at an eastern Canadian port after a three-hour running battle* with a U-boat. The crew declared that the merchantman's gun scored a direct hit on the U-boat, which is believed to have been sunk. The freighter was hit twice by torpedoes which failed to explode. A United States merchantman was torpedoed on Saturday off Bonaire Island, where 19 survivors have been landed.
