ON(S) 248 left Liverpool on Aug. 12-1944, arrived New York on the 27th.

Notes:
For info, Lagarfoss had arrived from New York the previous month with Convoy HX 298. She later returned from Halifax at the beginning of Sept.-1944 with Convoy HX 306.
Dettifoss, which had previously arrived from New York in July-1944 with HX 299, returned on Sept. 6-1944 with Convoy HX 307.

It looks like Elona also made a voyage to the U.S. - she's listed in the New York-U.K. Convoy HX 309 in Sept.-1944.

No further details are available on RU 130.
