eek! blooded but nowhere to hide

hello folks, a sort of quite-pleased-but-doubtful-I-will survive sea-cub here. I bagged a medium merchant last night, in the dark, and used up all my remaining torps doing that, wanting to be sure I had done the job. They all found their mark (bosom swells with pride!) but I guess one mistake was to hang around to make sure she was going down.
Anyway, I snuk off, but not fast as there were plenty of warships around anyway - and more coming once I lit up the skies. Kiel seemed an awful long way away, and the problem was, I could not run deep as there seems only to be about 20 meters under the keel at best working not too far off the southern coast of the British Isles.
I thought I was doing OK as no-one seemed to know I was there, but then, suddenly a fast small boat zoomed right over the top of me - came from no-where. I took an angels eye peep up top to see what it was - bloomin motor boat type thingy - and hot on his heels was a destroyer. Hmph, even on silent running I could not escape as there was nowhere to escape to. He got me. I went back to a previous save, but is it all inevitably going to end in the same way -am I going to have to begin my career all over agin?
