BRITISH AIRCRAFT CAPTURES U-BOAT.—A Hudson aircraft of the R.A.F. Coastal Command sighted and attacked a U-boat in the Atlantic recently. A full gate was blowing and a heavy swell was running, and there were no ships in the vicinity when the action took place. The U-boat was forced to the surface in a badly damaged condition and surrendered. The Hudson was relieved by a Catalina aircraft of Coastal Command, which patrolled over the U-boat until the arrival of H.M. ships. The weather was so bad that no boat could be lowered for several hours from H.M. ships and they stood by, keeping the submarine covered with their guns. Our photo shows the surrender. A Carley float lowered from one of H.M. ships with an officer aboard approaches the U-boat to receive its surrender. A cable report to-day states that a captured U-boat has arrived at a British port.
