The rest were scattered and proceeding independently, including a group of four with "Pink", trailing some 80 miles behind the main body. The 1st Support Group sailed from Newfoundland at midday with frigates "Wear", "Jed", "Spey" and sloops "Pelican" and "Sennen" to replace "Oribi" and "Offa" whose fuel state would become critical on the 5th. "U-628" of group "Finke", assembled to catch convoy SC 128, sighted convoy ONS 5 at 2018. Two of the gathering group "Finke" U-boats were attacked by RCAF Cansos in separate incidents. One thought to have been "U-630" was sunk; but is now believed to have been "U-209", which was damaged in an attack by Canso W, and foundered later while attempting to return to base. The other, "U-438", was only slightly damaged in attacks by Canso E.
