The former German passenger liner Wahehe, captured by the British and renamed the Empire Citizen, was torpedoed yesterday about 725 miles off the Irish Coast, Marine circles reported tonight. The 4,709-ton Wahehe was trying to reach Germany from Vigo, Spain, when the British seized her last February.

Responsible sources also revealed that the British freighter Rurla, 5,198 tons, was torpedoed and sunk last week about 475 miles off the Irish Coast.

Loss of the British passenger liner Apapa 9,333 tons, a Marine link between England and Africa, also was disclosed. The Apapa was sunk by Nazi planes off the Irish Coast with a loss of 16 lives. Her captain reported
on arrival at a Canadian port that 86 persons were saved, including six injured.
