810. My 809, October 27, 5 a.m. I was unable to obtain the promised telephone communication with the Captain or a member of the crew of the City of Flint at 8 this morning, although temporary communication with the Murmansk operator was established. As calls for Murmansk are only accepted for certain hours during the day the next attempt will be made at 1:30 today.
