German submarine U-A stopped Yugoslavian ship Rad at 19 00 hours 300 miles off of the coast of Senegal in western Africa and later found out she was carrying chemicals from the United States for South Africa; the crew of 29 was put to lifeboats, and U-A sank Rad with a torpedo. The survivors were picked up by the British steam merchant Grodno and landed at Freetown.
