Gale sweeps area in which U.S. steamship Coamo has been torpedoed and sunk by German submarine U-604 off Bermuda; the survivors who managed to reach safety on rafts most likely perish on this and/or subsequent days. No survivors from the 133-man crew, the 37 Armed Guard sailors or the 16 Army passengers are ever found.
