CANADIAN CORVETTES SINK U-BOAT
(Rec. 9.30 p.m.) OTTAWA, Nov. 24. The British Admiralty informed the Minister of the Navy, Mr Angus MacDonald, that two Canadian corvettes sank a German submarine in the North Atlantic, taking prisoner 47 members of the crew.
The vessels Chambly and Moosejaw were convoying. The Chambly attacked with depth charges, forcing the U-boat to the surface. Tire Moosejaw opened fire, but after a single round the U-boat crew abandoned the ship, which then sank.
