The crew immediately abandoned ship and she was boarded by the enemy who looted her and sank her using scuttling charges. She went down at 9.45 a.m.. An hour later, a patrol vessel arrived and attacked the submarine, then picked up the survivors, including the wounded man, and landed them at Weymouth.” 25 miles SSE Portland Bill. Refs.
