Most of the embassy staff was inside the chancery or embassy building or on tlie sidewalks watching the crowd Col.

 Nazi Boats Leave
 Tampico, Mexico Nov. 29-(UP)- Two German freighters-S. s. Idar- wald and S. s. Rhein-steamed out of port today in another apparent attempt to elude the British block ade.
 There was general belief that the departure of the two German ships-part of a fleet of a dozen Axis merchant vessels stranded here-might be seeking to make con- tact with German sea raider or submarines in the Atlantic for the purpose of relaying supplies.
 The Idarwald and Rhein were two of the four German vessels that ran back to port when they met warships-apparently United States destroyers on patrol-off the Mexi- can coast two weeks ago. On that occasion one of the four the Phrygia was scuttled
 The Idarwald cast off at $40 a. m. and started down stream and at ' a. m. the Rhein followed A Mexican tugboat turned both into the cu-- rent of the river. after which they proceeded down stream under their own power.
 There was an air of urgency in their preparations and in their per- sistence which seemed to strengthen reports that they were destined to refuel and revictual German raid- CTS at some secret rendezvous.
 They wanted to leave Mexican waters in the daylight, it was repor- ted, so there would be no possibility of them mistaking United States destroyers for British ones.
 Three United States destToyers were reported off the mouth of the river as the German ship departed but they were not sighted from shore.
 Both the Idarwald and the Rhein cleared Gin ballast" indicating that they had no cargoes. The destina- ton of the Idarwald was given as Vigo, Spain, and of the Rhein as the Canary Islands.
 There was no sign that Italian ships in the port or the German merchantmen Orinoco were prepar- ing to depart.
