U-BOATS SLAUGHTER
ATTACK IN BARENTS SEA
MOSCOW, September 23
A German submarine in the Barents Sea sank two tugboats and two barges several miles from the shore, and slaughtered 710 Russian women, children, and students. The submarine, after torpedoing the vessels, shelled and machine-gunned their lifeboats, into which the survivors had scrambled, then rode down survivors who were clinging to pieces of wreckage, and finally followed the few who were making for the shore and machinegunned them.
