from New York after discharging
the last of the Athena survivors.
Six days at sea, she was over
hauled by the Deutschland, manned
by the prize crew and then, dis
guised as Danish, sailed to Tromsoe,
Norway.
Murmansk. Russia, was the next
stop. Six days later, she was steered
toward the British blockade in what
was presumed to be an effort to
break through and reach a German
port.
Instead, however. she was taken
finally into Haugesund, Norway.
where a Norwegian court held she
had been improperly seized, and
