The Norwegian Admiralty confirmed reports that no member of the crew of the City of Flint was sufficiently ill to justify remaining in the Norwegian port any longer. Captain Gainard said all the crew wes well, including one seaman whom the German prize crew had claimed was ill The vessel's cargo was still intact, An appendectomy was performed on one of the crew while the vessel was at Murmansk, He was said to be well at present, however. Members of the crew refused to answer questions as to whether they had planned to mutiny against the German prize crew.—United Press.
