A fter getting into midstream the tow line o f the tug Timmins was cast off and the Deutschland proceeded down the river under her own power. The Timmins went to one side, the coast guard cutter Wisaahickon to the other and the harbor police boat l<an- nan brought up the rear to prevent un due crowding by the small fleet o f launches that followed.

They knew how long he had watched at the end o f a nearby pier, day and night, but the little captain went out o f Baltimore harbor smiling and wav ing his cap. His last words in the harbor were o f praise for Ameirca and for his treat ment here by Baltimore customs au thorities.

We Bhall, therefore, have to pass be tween the warships.” There was a determined look on the captain’s face as he expressed confi dence that he would get through.
