Amsterdam, Oct II. - (AP) -
A Netherlands seaman on the Ger
man liner Bremen declared today the
vessel reached Murmansk, north
Russian port, after thrilling VOy-
age, during which She flew the Soviet
flag and preparations were made to
destroy her rather than allow her to
fall into British hands.
E. Post, a cook, told his story in
an interview with the Amsterdam
newspaper Het Volk, after his re-
turn to his native country.
He said Captain Adolf Ahrcns
skirted the blockade Of the British
fleet with barrels OF gasoline on
deck ready for burning the vessel
rather than allow her to be captur-
ed by the British.
The voyage was yelled in such Sc
crecy, he said, that the crew did not
know the liners destination. All
lights were eXtinguished during the
North Atlantic crossing, and the
wireless answered no calls. The YES
sci was painted grey as she sped
across the Atlantic. She Travelled
much of the time in heavy mist,
which helped to conceal her from any
ship near her course.
