Note 28 — Chapter XIV · THE SUBMARINE AND NEUTRALS
Reading edition
“Von Weddigen, I was told, met his death chasing an armed British steamer. Commanding the U-29, he went after a whale of a British freighter in the Irish Sea, signaled her to stop. She stopped but hoisted the Spanish flag. As he came alongside, the steamer let drive with her two four-point-sevens at the submarine, sinking it immediately.” Statement of Carl Frank List.
