On 3 December 1943 at 1800Z in position 08º00" S and 31º32" W, the U.S.S. Marblehead picked up a lone survivor from an Army life raft. There was little doubt that this man was a survivor of U-848, the sub sunk 5 November. His condition was very critical and when the Marblehead stood in at Recife on 4 December he was immediately taken to the Navy hospital. He died 2 days later and was buried at Recife with military honors.
