1730: Arrived at Las Palmas, Canary Islands. Deadline to complete emergency repairs and depart: 24 hrs.

1800: Attacked by PBY flying boat in clear violation of neutrality law! One Spanish armed trawler was sunk by bombs meant for us. Our boat has taken more damage, but we are departing at once. The Spanish authorities and German Consulate will lodge a formal protest.

Alert to all boats: If the Allies know your whereabouts, entering a neutral port will not guarantee your safety!
