(Rec. 9 p.m.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 27. The Navy Department announced that enemy submarines torpedoed the American tankers, Panmaine (7236 tons) and Frances E. Powell (7909 tons) off the eastern seaboard last night. It is said that survivors from both ships were put ashore at Lewes, Delaware. This makes a total of nine ships sunk off the Atlantic coast. Twenty Norwegian seamen, survivors of a Norwegian tanker sunk by enemy action in the Western Atlantic, were sent to hospital at an East Coast Canadian port after a harrowing 10 days’ ordeal in an open lifeboat.
