with two exceptions all these ships
are at liberty TO put to sea at any
time. Ever since Brazi's protest to
Germany over the submarine block

the German ships by persistent
stories that several Of the informed
steamers were waiting a favorable
moment to make their escape.

bay, we'll under the surveillance OF
the harbor's forts and the Brazilian
