DARING FORAY
MADE BY BRITISH SUBMARINE AT EASTER THREE SHIPS SUNK IN OSLO \ HARBOUR. OTHER VESSELS DAMAGED. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.20 p.m.) LONDON, August 12. A British submarine, in a daring foray into Oslo Fiord at Easter, was responsible for an attack on five ships in Oslo Harbour, when three vessels were sunk and two damaged by torpedoes. The Swedish-Norwegian Press Bureau says this information has now been disclosed from Oslo. The submarine also damaged with a toppedo, off Arendal, the Norwegian-American Line steamer Tronctneim Fiord, which the Germans were using as a transport. The bureau added that a German officer at Oslo who investigated the affair described the exploit as one of the boldest submarine actions of the war. The Germans at first believed that saboteurs were responsible, and arrested a dozen men.
