The
Canadian
destroyer
H.M.C.S.
St.

has
picked
up
a
large
number
of
survivors
from
a
U-boat
which
was
sunk
by
a
plane
of
the
R.A.F.

Command.
It
was
the
second
time
in

career
that
the

destroyer
has
had

aboard
as

shared
In

of

In

At
that

45
German
marines
made
their
last
sea-going
trip
for
the
dur
ation
aboard
St.
Laurent
after
they
had
been
fished
out
of
the
water.
Very
early
one
morning,
the
U-boat
was
spotted
on
the
surface
firing
at
a
plane
which
was
attacking
with
depth
charges.
The
German
craft
was
five
or
six

off
the
destroyer's
bow
and

went

area
where
the

the
alrfraft
signalled
that
It
