claimed to have sunk 243,000 tons during that period.
The losses were made up of 19 British ships totalling 80,740 tons, ships totalling 12,937 three Allied tons, and one neutral ship of 1,513 tons.
Reuter understands that good proportion of the British losses were accounted for un one especially "black" day.
