VICTIM OF U-BOAT
SHIP BOUND FOR AMERICA NAZIS TOW THE LIFEBOATS (Rec. 0.30 a.m.) LISBON, Oct. 14. After ordering 36 members of the crew and six passengers, including two women and two children, to take to the lifeboats, a U-boat shelled and sank the America-bound Corte Real in the Atlantic on October 12. The U-boat then towed the lifeboats within 20 miles of the Portuguese coast, where they were spotted by a Portuguese plane, which signalled for a rescue ship, in which the occupants of the lifeboats were taken to Lisbon.
