Worst Hammering Of War For U-Boat Packs

LONDON, May 21

U-boat packs hunting in the Arctic received the worst hammering of the war when they attempted to interfere with the passage of an Allied convoy to Russia, says Reuter's correspondent with the Home Fleet in northern Avaters in a delayed despatch. The convoy was one of the largest so far sent to Russia. Two U-boats were sunk, two probably sunk and many probably damaged. Not a single merchantman was lost. The convoy delivered over 250.000 tons of tanks, guns, munitions and planes. Young destroyer-men and Fleet Air Arm pilots blasted a way through the enemy force for the convoy.

New Zealanders of the Fleet Air Arm. Sub-Lieutenants J., Nichols, of Auckland, and.R. E. Cocklin. of Invercargill, participated in the action.

Dividend.—The National Mortgage and Agency Co. of New Zealand announce an interim dividend of 21 per cent., lax free.
