Left Åkrehamn, Karmøy on Sept. 9-1941 with 3 people, all from Haugesund. The day after departure the motor stopped and they drifted south for 3-4 days in heavy winds. When the wind decreased they sailed west for 3-4 days. On Sept. 18 a German aircraft attacked with machine guns, hitting one of the passengers, Herluf Brå, in the arm and through his lung. The aircraft came over 6 times before it took off again, leaving Magne Østensjø dead in the cabin. The remaining man, Erling Ellingsen, battled to keep the vessel afloat, and also tried to take care of the injured man. The following day, they encountered a Dutch 14' vessel with 6 escapees on board, and that same day the men in both boats were picked up by a British minesweeper which landed them in Gt. Yarmouth on Sept. 19. Herluf Brå's arm had to be amputated but he recovered from his wounds.
