KTB, U-105
26 July 1941
05:30 Both stern tubes reloaded. Altered course to N towards hydrophone contact. Convoy still to NW, so likely to be stragglers.
06:05 Lookouts spotted stern of freighter, two points off the port bow.
Altered course to hook around and intercept.
07:40 Fired on by freighter as we drew level.
Alarm!
Waited for freighter to stop zig-zagging then fired last two eels, stern shots, long range.
One torpedo explodes well short. Target re-starts zig-zagging at once, causing second torpedo to miss.
Ship appears to be same one torpedoed last night and if so is already damaged. Intention - surface and risk a long-range gunnery duel.
