After three days trying to free the O 19 using full reverse power at high tide, blowing air, firing torpedoes, and jettisoning ballast, the crew was rescued by the U.S. submarine, USS Cod, which torpedoed the O 19, after all critical equipment had been removed.

Scene shifts to shore where three of the sailors are seen pulling the raft into bushes. View from the shore, of the submarine in a bay.
