At 20.47 hours on 2 March 1942 the unescorted Gunny (Master Otto Henrichsen) was torpedoed by U-126 about 400 miles south of the Bermudas and sank within one minute. The ship had been missed at 12.15 hours by a first torpedo. 13 survivors climbed on a raft, but had no food and water. The injured chief engineer died on the fourth day. On 9 March, the remaining survivors were picked up by the Swedish motor merchant Temnaren and landed in Progreso on 13 March.
