Axis Raiders Loose In So. Atlantic Area

Carrier Eagle Sunk In Battle; At Least One Enemy U-Boat Ac- counted For.

(By Drew Middleton Associated Press Staff Writer)

LONDON. Aug. 12 —- (AP)-In- dications that the Axis is startinfl a strong surfacemaider and sub- marine campaign in the South Atlantic were reported by inform- ed British naval sources today while the Germans said a great British convoy now is under attack in the western Mediterranean.

The Admiralty announced loss of the 22,600-ton aircraft carrier Eagle in the Mediterranean and said at least. one enemy submar- ine operating in the same area already had been sunk but did not refer to a convoy attack.

Later the Admiralty said 930 "survivors including Captain L. D. Mackintosh. the commander, had been accounted for. Agiarent-ly most of the men were saved, for the peacetime complement of the carrier was only 748.

Capt. Mackintosh, the heir to 125,000 acres of highland in Scot- land, previously had served on three other aircraft carriers, the Courageous, Glorious and Hermes. all oi which have been sunk in this war.

The Germans, reporting they sank the Eagle 'I‘i.iescl:ty with ioiir torpedo hits, said she was a meni- ber of the convoy escort which included the bulk cf the British Mediterranean fleet and was en route east from Gibraltar.

The Italians claimed they had bit anothonwarsllip. in convoy.

The Eagle, started in i913 as a battleship ic-r Chile, finally was completed as ll British nil-craft carrier in 1924. She was the fifth carrier lost since the war began.

Britain is left with five C3i‘l‘l£‘l'S_ Two more, the implacable and ln_ deiatigable, are due for comple- tion this year.

The sinking oi the Eagle was conceded by British sources as a sore loss, since convoys iil the Mediterranean have to depend on carrier-based planes once they are out oi rellch of sllore-bnsccld light- ers.

The extension of Axis offensive operations into li-ll‘ South Atlziiltic was noted by iitlviil sources as a further step in the hot battle oi
