A total of twelve British ships totalling 34,077 tons, and four neutral vessels with a total tonnage of 7,792 were sunk by the enemy in the week ending January 13, it was announced by the Admiralty today.
The freighter Dunbar Castle, the announcement adds, struck a mine when just about to join a convoy of a number of steamers. Britain, the announcement adds, lost 26 tankers since the beginning of the war. Up to January 10, a total of 6,363 British, allied and neutral ships were escorted in convoys and of these only twelve were lost through enemy action.—Havas.
