LONG FIGHT WITH U-BOAT
WASHINGTON, October 4. A German submarine in the South Atlantic engaged five Liberators during a two-day running fight, says the Navy Department. The Liberators bombed the U-boat when they first sighted it, but it submerged. They sighted the submarine again at dawn the next day and machine-gunned it, but one plane was shot down and the crew of 12 are listed missing. Later the same day the Liberators scored a direct hit and sent the submarine to the bottom.
