No explanation was forthcoming forth-coming as to the reason for the Verdi's return. Besides the Noordam, the vessels that put to sea today with freight cargoes were the British steamer Roman Prince, the Dutch steamer Texel, the Spanish steamers steam-ers JTar Negro and Mouro and the Swedish steamer Helsingborg. It was announced that the Noordam, bound for Rotterdam, would put into Halifax instead of Kirkwall for examination examina-tion by the British authorities, but whether any of the other vessels would follow the same course could not be ascertained. |
