I don't have my copy at present, but as I recall they participated in a wolfpack attack, were jumped by the destroyer, and after they surfaced they followed the convoy's trail, questioning survivors in lifeboats, but there was no coup-des-gras scene with men begging to be saved. Of course it's been a few years since I read it, but I recall remarking at the time that the scene in the movie seemed to be a substitute for the much harsher scene with the Spanish freighter near the end of the book.
