At 23.10 hours on 22 Jan, 1942, the Athelcrown (Master Isaac Burkhill), dispersed from convoy ON-56, was torpedoed and sunk by U-82 southeast of Cape Race. Five crew members were lost. The master, 26 crew members and six gunners were picked up by the British steam merchant Argos Hill and landed at Halifax. Eight crew members were rescued by a British warship. Four crew members found the abandoned, drifting wreck of the Diala, which had been torpedoed on 15 January by U-553 (Thurmann) in 47°28N/39°19W. They remained on board for eight days before they were rescued by the Swedish motor tanker Saturnus and landed on the Faeroe Islands. The wreck of the Diala was sunk by U-587 (Borcherdt) on 23 March.
