They trooped down a ladder to a
tugboat, carrying seabags and in
some cases lifebelts from their lost
ships. They were conducted first
to the British consulate, where they
were warned against talking about
their experiences. 1t was said they
had pledged secrecy as a condition
for release.
Exeter Goes to DrydOck.
Damage and casualties were not
alone the Admiral Graf Specs.
The 8,390-ton British cruiser Exeter
knocked out Of the battle after
four hours, leaving the fight to the
Ajax and Achilles-was expected
some time after dawn at drydock in
the Argentine naval base of Puerto
Belgrano, 120 miles southwest Of
Buenos Aires, seeking repairs.
One hundred beds were prepared
at the Naval Hospital there for the
Exeter's wounded. There were un-
confirmed reports Of some dead
aboard the cruiser. The Achilles
and Ajax messaged they had no
dead and only few wounded.
Apparently the beating the Exeter
took from the Admiral Graf Specs
11-inchers was too serious to permit
the 1,5oo-mile voyage to Port STAN
ley, her Falkland Island base. She
was reported making barely IA knots
about half her potential speed.

ton Ajax.
The Dunkerque alone is rated by
naval experts as one of the five
allied warShips capable of dealing
with the raider If she gave battle.
But the Admiral Graf Spec will not
be confronted for some time yet
with a choice between internment
for the duration of the war and
making a break for the open sea
Action by the Uruguyan government
postponed the choice.
Honor Guard Provided.
The Uruguayan government as
signed a battalion of sailors as
honor guards for the 36 dead Ger
man sailors.
Victims of the battle-flrst major
naval engagement. of the European
war-were in pine caskets draped
with the German flag and carried
ashore through lane of German
civilians standing at Nazi salute. A
dozen hearses carried them to the
cemetery in the suburbs.
The Uruguayan government per-
mitted 800 officers and crew mem
bers of the Graf Spec to come
ashore without arms to participate
in the services. Capt Hans Langs-
dorff turned out the Graf Specs
band to play dirge for the funeral.
Germans Protected.
AS a precaution against possible
hostile demonstrations by the Uru-
guayan population, the German
sailors entered special buses placed
at the extreme end of the pier and
were taken directly to the cemetery
where they formed hollow square.
Inside the square the graves were
dug in long line.
Two truckloads of flowers were
arranged about the graves. Among
the offerings were flowers from
Fuehrer Hitler, Foreign Minister
Joachim Won Ribbentrdp and other
Nazi leaders.
A single platoon of the Admiral
Graf Spec crew was permitted to
take rifles ashore for the naval
funeral, and they fired a blank VOL
ley at its conclusion.
Ship Permitted to Remain.
Foreign Minister Alberto Guani
said last night that "in accord
ance with the Uruguayan neutrality
law and international law" the Ad-
m1ral Graf Spec could lie in Mon
tevideo Harbor until she could re-
pair the damage suffered in the A.
hour battle.
GUAM declined to say how long
this extension of the formal 24-hour
limit for visits of belligerent ships
would run, but explained that it
would be sufficient to permit rem
dering the battleship seaworthy.
Eight more of the go wounded
German seamen were landed last
night. The four most seriously
injured were taken to Pasteur Hos
pital. Two others had been put
ashore shortly after the battered
warship crept into sanctuary We'd
