The Rym (Master Conrad Rustad) as last ship of a column had altered course to pick up survivors from W.C. Teagle, but had to avoid a collision with the Erviken, which also slowed down to pick up survivors but was shortly thereafter torpedoed. Rym immediately tried to catch up at full speed with the convoy again, but was hit by a torpedo on the starboard side between #1 and #2 hatches and broke in two. The forward part was torn away to port and the ship only kept together by the cargo with a heavy list to starboard. The bridge and the starboard lifeboat had been destroyed, so 17 survivors abandoned ship in the port boat. The master, the first engineer, a stoker and an able seaman remained aboard and tried to save the ship. HMS Veronica (K 37) (LtCdr D.F. White, RNR) arrived three hours after the ship was torpedoed and picked up the men in the boat. In the morning, it became clear that the vessel could not be saved so the four men went aboard the corvette, which returned to the convoy after she probably scuttled the wreck by gunfire. The survivors were landed at Londonderry on 19 October.
