Eighth was no indication that the seaman would be put ashore Then came the statement which said; American City of Flint with a German prize crew, was allowed to use Norwegian territorial waters from Tromsoe southward. The ship, accompanied by a Norwegian warship Olav Trvggvason and one torpedo boat, arrived at Haugesund Friday night and anchored off Haugesund without permission, there was no valid reason for calling at the Notwegian port authorities decided the ship should be given free and the German prize crew Thus came a startling new turn in the series of incidents which have kept the diplomatic wires burning between Washington, Moscow and Berlin since the 4963-ton City of Flint fell into the hands of the Germans. First official news of the capture of the vessel came from Moscow October 23 when the Soviet government announced she had been sailed into the Arctic port of Murmansk by the German prize At the time of her capture she was enroute from New York to Liverpool and Glasgow with a cargo of tractors, grain, leather, fruit and wax.

Similar efforts to obtain information from the Soviet government as to the ship and her crew of 41 bi ought only scant information from Moscow officials. Uncertainty shrouded the status of the City of Flint until the Soviet government announced October 26 that she had sailed from Murmansk under the American flag after an investigation of her cargo and completion of engine repairs, She was reported to have observed international regulations until she anchored offshore in Haugesund harbor. ward; Clarence High, Ninth ward; Samuel Lindauer, Tenth ward; William Killegas, borough auditor; John Gerhart, high constable; John McCabe, school director.
