Submarine Netted
(N.Z.P.A -Reuter —Copyright) BREST (France), January 12. The French trawler Fomalhaut caught the British submarine Grampus in the English Channel on Wednesday, it was disclosed in Brest last night. The Grampus surfaced as soon as it was snared and both crews spent more than three hours disentangling the nets, officials said. Another snag was that the French crew could not speak English and the crew of the Grampus knew no French. An interpreter was flown to the scene from a French Air Force base in Brittany, and apparently relayed instructions and messages by radio from above, the officials said.
