ITALIAN SUBMARINES

SEVERAL ACCOUNTED FOR. IN BATTLE OF ATLANTIC. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, February 5. Several Italian submarines are known to have been accounted for in the Battle of the Atlantic. The Admiralty disclosed today that one of these submarines was a large vessel of 880 tons armed with eight torpedo-tubes and two 3.9 in. guns. She was sent to the bottom by a British warship after having been damaged by a Catalina flying-boat. This particular submarine had a long list of alleged successes against British convoys. It was one of four submarines which managed: to escape from Massawa when Mussolini lost his East African empire. It had since used the German base at Bordeaux.
