Someone Please Explain This...

I'm 13 days into Patrol 5 GWX, late Feb, 1941, very light seas and dusk...ideal conditions. Came across a small convoy protected by a Hunter I and armed trawler.

Getting into postion I notice that the Hunter is taking hits from an unseen source. I nail the medium merchant in the convoy...armed trawler now comes over and wants to be my friend...I put up with it for awhile and then put a stern tube shot down his throat.

The Hunter is in a world of hurt, crippled and knows I'm there, but can't do anything about it. I surfaced and took him and the rest out with the deck gun.

I did not see any other vessels in the area and certainly no a/c. I'm not complaining, it was great fun...but what happened?
