The British Saltwick, on a voyage from Algiers to Gibraltar in ballast, carrying 900 Red Cross parcels, was torpedoed and sunk by German aircraft on Oct. 21-1943. She had a crew of 41 and 10 gunners, all of whom were saved, according to "Lloyd's War Losses", while R. W. Jordan's "The World's Merchant Fleets 1939" says 1 was killed, 51 survived.
