"Saracen" left harbour again on 13 March to conduct a patrol in the Gulf of Genoa. On 19 April, she sighted an Italian convoy and sank the Italian cargo/passenger ship "Francesco Crispi" with six torpedoes off Elba. "Francesco Crispi" was transporting 1,085 soldiers to Bastia, and "Saracen" was attacked with depth charges by the escorting ships, but was not damaged. The submarine then torpedoed and sank the Italian merchantman "Tagliamento" three days later, south of the island of Pianosa, Italy; according to "Saracen"s logbook, "A sheet of orange flame went up hundreds of feet into the air and burning debris hurtled in all directions. As "Saracen" was diving the bridge of the merchant vessel flew overhead". The boat ended her patrol in Algiers on 27 April.
