Who Sank 'La Belle France'?

Hi all,

In reading 'Open Boats' by Alfred Noyes, I see reference to the sinking of the merchant vessel 'La Belle France' by torpedo on January 31,1916. I see no credit for her in the database, and wondered if anyone knew which u-boat sank her?

You can read (or download a free copy in pdf format) here:

[books.google.com]

The attack and sinking of 'La Belle France' is mentioned on page 42.

Thanks,

-Daniel
