	U-boat Archive - U-162 - HMS Pathfinder Report
		It appears that the submarine also went full speed ahead on hearing "Pathfinder" propellers start up, for the contact at once began to give closing doppler which first grew very marked and then decreased as the target began to draw rapidly left (the plot shows submarine's movements at this time very clearly).
		As the contact appeared to be bobbing about in the waves the Captain of the "Vimy" gave it as his opinion that it was one of the two rafts which he threw overboard to the survivors and neither of which was recovered.
		The ratings recovered by "Pathfinder" were not good physical specimens, some being distinctly seedy - - According to my Medical Officer, two were suffering from heart trouble.
