SUBMARINE’S MISSIONS
FAMOUS VESSEL REFITTING LONDON, Jan. 16 A British secret mission submarine is home for relit. Her name is Seraph and it is disclosed that this was the submarine which landed and re-embarked Lieutenant-General M. W. Clark, Commander of the United States Fifth Army, and other United States staff officers to make the first contact with the pro-Allied French leaders at a lonely point on the Algiers coast before the Allied landings in November, 1942. a It was also the Seraph which embarked General Giraud off the coast of France and took him to the open Mediterranean, where he was transferred to a flying-boat and flown to General Eisenhower’s headquarters. Those were two of the many secret enterprises which the Seraph carried out during 13 months of varied activity in the Mediterranean. The Seraph also carried out an important part in the invasion of Sicily and besides on offensive patrols has sunk over 7000 tons of shipping and damaged a further 10,000 tons. Her commander is Lieutenant N. L. A. Jewell, who was recently awarded the Legion of Merit in the name of President Roosevelt for the part he played in the invasion of Sicily.
