Well I tried but it would appear that I inadvertently got too close to a fast convoy out of Freetown, I was detected by the escorts before I knew anything was out there and although I submerged and tried to get away as quietly as possible, I soon had four or five of them alternately listening and depth charging me. At first the damage wasn't too bad but then I lost both electric motors and, although I tried to blow the ballast in an attempt to avoid plummeting to the bottom, the end came at a depth of 320 Metres - if the sharks don't get them first, their will be bits of me and the crew floating to the surface . . .
