19.  NARRATIVE (including action subsequent to the attack and a rough diagram of the action).
	At 2058 G.M.T. contact classified as doubtful was made whilst in position "A" of convoy O.B.318.  This contact was received at 1000yds and held for 2-1/2 minutes only and might easily have been classed as that of a whale, which latter had been reported continually throughout the day.  Contact was lost and a precautionary sweep was made into the convoy without result.  Upon reaching the end of the 7th column two ships in the after end of the 3rd and 4th columns were seen to be hit by torpedoes whereupon "Bulldog" immediately counter attacked.
	This course was closely followed by "Rochester" who sighted a periscope.  "Bulldog" then swept out to the port and after end of the convoy where "Rochester" and "Amazon" made contacts.  "Amazon" then fired a pattern followed by "Rochester" with "Bulldog" as directing ship.  These attacks were repeated shortly afterwards and the explosions following "Amazon's" 2nd attack made considerable impressions on "Bulldog's" receiver.  "Bulldog" then attacked firing a full pattern of charges.  At 2157 "Amazon" again attacked followed by "Bulldog" at 2320 and finally "Amazon" at 0010 after which the steadily decreasing echo disappeared.  Search was however continued throughout the night until 0030 Thursday 8th May, when a through search of the area was successfully completed.

	19.  NARRATIVE (including action subsequent to the attack and a rough diagram of the action).
	At 1202 G.M.T. H.M.S. Bulldog was in position 3000 yds. ahead of Convoy O.B.318 when the two leading ships of the starboard colunm were seen to be hit by torpedoes.  Bulldog turned across the front of the convoy and joined Aubretia, who had by this time counter attacked Broadway then made deliberate attack followed by Aubretia whilst Bulldog was investigating a further contact which proved to be Non Sub echo.
	A periscope was then sighted and the U-boat surfaced.
	Broadway then attempted to ram but missed and dropped depth charges and Bulldog opened fire with 4.7", 3" Pom-pom and stripped Lewis guns.
