At 09.50 hours on 24 Feb, 1942, U-558 fired three torpedoes at the convoy ONS-67 east of Halifax and observed three hits. Two ships stopped, the third continued on. The description of the target and the extremly large hole in the tanker´s side make it certain that not only the first torpedo but the third one too hit the Anadara. The second torpedo may have been aimed at the Empire Celt, which continued on her way, but the ship which was sighted with engines stopped was, according to the position given, the Eidanger. In the morning, U-587 attempted to finish off a tanker behind the convoy with a torpedo and gunfire, leaving it in sinking condition.

 

The description of the target confirms that it was the Anadara. The master, 53 crew members and eight gunners from the Anadara  were lost.
