An item referred apparently to an account of sailor who passed with his ship several harbours on the Romanian part of the Lower Danube. He stated that after leaving Braila loaded with cement he entered the harbour of Sulina. Inspection and controlled lasted just one hour and he departed again at 19.00 o’clock. At the start of his voyage boarded the pilot at 06.00 o’clock bringing his ship to Sulina for an control between 07.00-08.50 o’clock. When they departed for Braila stayed the pilot on board and was a patrol boat following. At Sulina he sighted 22 Romanian so-called Chernomoskoye berthed alongside a pier and armed with a machinegun forwards. Fitted out with a small searchlight and short mast on the bridge. Earlier informed the pilot him that at Sulina had two ‘plants’ for analysing petroleum, one was large, the other one small.
