Sun., 31.12.39 - West of Portugal

0427 - Qu. C G 2496 - "Fahrzeug!" Abeam to port a steamer on reciprocal heading, E=2600.

0430 - Veered boat on parallel course 205°. Steamer is identified as an English Caribou type freighter of about 2100 ts., draught 7.5m, speed 9 kn.

The boat stands against the rising half-moon. The distance to the steamer is about 3000m. Still, everything remains calm. The attempt to overtake the steamer proofs to be very difficult, as the boat cannot go faster than GF, due to the heavy swell and strong wind. Finally, I decide to brake-off the pursuit, as the target does not appear to be valuable enough for me to use up my fuel and running the risk of perhaps, wasting the even more valuable torpedoes. Also, I'm assuming, that this steamer is using a shipping lane utilized by the enemy and that before long, I will come across other valuable targets.

0500 - Qu. C G 2499 - Veered boat and retired on course 25°.

1200 - Qu. C G 2518 - Days Run: 134.5 sm - ↗ 133.7 sm - ↘ 0.8 sm
71 cbm. 1 Eto and 3 Ato. S7, Sea6, heavy swell from north, clear, >1000mb, good visibility, 1°C
Sunrise 1123 - Sunset 2030

1605 - Qu. C G 2276 - Diving for test dive at A+20 and torpedo maintenance at A-30. Afterwards, submerged cruise at A-40.

The third week at sea lies behind us. Also, this week was characterized by poor weather and sea conditions. However, we also, had some successes to note, with two sinking's and one aircraft shot down. With the new year approaching, we will leave this sea area and commence our return cruise home.
