An item dated Vlissingen, Netherlands 10th reported that the Hr.Ms. Brinio escorted into the harbour the Belgian tug ACW 9 in service of the British Admiralty and a lighter towed by the same tug. The lighter had been loaded with ammunition which was to be thrown overboard at open sea. In stead of this she was unloaded in the Deurloo. Tug and lighter were now berthed in the outer harbour waiting for further investigation by the navy if the dropped ammunition was a potential danger and the captain of the tug disobeyed his orders.(1)
Note
