Martin,
Per Spindler (Vol. II, p. 257), U 38 (Kplt. Max Valentiner) forced a steamer to stop, with the crew abandoning ship. Before U 38 could sink the steamer, an "armed yacht" arrived on the scene and forced the U-boat to dive. The vessel was actually the armed trawler HMT Spider. The location of this action was 51°10'N, 6°13'W per the Naval Staff Monograph, Vol. XIV, p.81.
Best wishes,
Michael
