on 1?3 October 1916 n ropapers reported that some fishing cutters were to be
sold to Uruguay. Tlra concerned were the EVA MACH and the PIW WG, both
of about forty tons Dever, when the HEMMING ran aground and was badly
damaged at the end of October or begitming of November, it was. decided that
the cutter 1N UE PtILTZ should replace her.
2. The cutters were to be sold through Mr. Otto L. E. Danielsen, owner of an
office where tonnage is sold atNy Toldbodgade 5 (presumably in Copenhagen).
The Uruguay Goverment was to pay 2140,000 Kr. for each cutter and the entire
am was to be paid to the National. Bank of Dermmai t in American dollars.
T Danish crow that were to sail the cutters to South America were to be
paid about 40,000 Kr.
14.
The Danish authorities thought it likely that unauthorized persons would
attempt to use these cutters as a means to escape to South America. The
matter was turned over to the criminal police of Esbjerg. The police
handled the affairs in such a way that the crews learned of the suspicion
that existed. The authorities were very strict in their examination of
everything concerning the cutters and the day of departure was postponed
more than once.
On 30 November the British Naval Attache was informed that the cutters
were schedul' i to leave Esbjerg on 1 December. Security matters relating
to the crews prevented the departure, however. The cutters still remain
at Esbjerg.
5. About 7 December newspapers reported erroneously that the cutters had left
Esbjerg about 1 December and that they were to be stopped in the Channel by
the British and subjected to a thorough search.
6. According to the latest avaf1able Information, the cutters :ire not to be
sold to Uruguay. The Russians are very much interested in them.
