At 04.38 hours on 7 Feb 1943 the Daghild in convoy SC-118 was hit by one torpedo from U-402 (Forstner) and abandoned by the crew. At 02.37 hours on 8 February, the wreck of the Daghild was sunk by one coup de grâce from U-608 and with her HMS LCT-2335.

The survivors were picked up from three lifeboats by FFL Lobelia (K 05) the next morning. The corvette later encountered the Greek steam merchant Adamas (4144 grt) in sinking condition after she had been rammed by a destroyer in 56°35N/22°23W, while proceeding in the same convoy. FFL Lobelia picked up eleven men and ordered the remaining men on the ship to stay on board until daylight. But many jumped overboard and died in the cold water. The corvette could only pick up two men and revive them. Not long afterwards they encountered a wreck drifting around upside down (perhaps the Daghild) and was ordered to sink it, but after several attempts they had to stop because her engine was damaged and could only made two knots. FFL Lobelia had now over 100 people on board, a damaged engine and the U-boat danger was ever present. The next morning the Admiralty sent a destroyer to assist, which took the corvette in tow until that evening when the destroyer left to search for a lifeboat occupied with 15 men that had been sighted by an aircraft. The destroyer returned the next morning without having located the lifeboat, but at that time FFL Lobelia was able to do 8 knots on her own and eventually proceed alone as the destroyer had to leave her behind, having about 140 shipwrecked people on board. The corvette arrived safely at Greenock on 12 February.
