822. I have learned that the German Embassy has received information from Murmansk that the German prize crew was put back on board the City of Flint yesterday. I further understand that members of that Embassy are expressing their conviction that the City of Flint will be successfully brought to a German port by remaining within Scandinavian territorial waters on the voyage from Murmansk to Germany.
