Ron,
Many of the details from Hocking are not supported by UC 35's KTB. For example, there was no second torpedo. The U-boat did put eight rounds into the steamer 55 after the torpedo attack and she finally goes down 46 minutes after that. There were five explosions as the ship sank which may have been apparently were taken to be a second torpedo.
Best wishes,
Michael
