REACHED NEW YORK
U-BOAT COMMANDER'S CLAIM
LONDON, February 17
The Berlin news agency released the story of a cruise by a U-boat commander, Leutnant-Kapitan Hardegan, who claimed to have reached the "entrance" to New York. He said: "We were amazed as we looked on the city and saw the piers of Long Island and the ceaseless coming and going of harbour craft. We cank ten ships, totalling 66,000 tons, off the American coast, including the tanker Nordess."
The United States Navy Department admitted the loss of the Nordess on January 15.
