<HTML>Hi

Concerning Harald swedish sources says:

Harald left Göteborg (Sweden) the 30. April with timber, destination was Tyne. The 5. May 1230 o'clock on position 56'40N-03'40E, a german U-Boat submerged 1 mile behind Harald and fired 2 warningshots. Harald stopped and the german sub went alongside. After seeing the manifests the swedish crew (8 men) got 15-20 minutes to leave Harald. They were taken onboard the the german U-Boat and 2 germans went to Harald with fuzes and petrol and started fire 3 different positions. After the 2 germans had left Harald they fired shells at her. The swedish crew also claim that there was fired a torpedo gainst Harald, which didn't hit. The U-Boat left Harald laying deep in the water and burning. The swedish crew was still standing on deck of the U-Boat with wawes to the waist, when they headed east. After 2 hours they meet the norwegian steamer Rondana from Kristania (Oslo,Norway) which took ower the swedish crew.

Regards
