Received Friday, 10. a.tii. LONDON, Aug*. 28. The three British ships carrying the 4500. Jewish tefugees left Gibraltar this morning for Hamburg, but later rettirried to Gibraltar because the Ocean Vigodr had developed engine trouble. The voyage to Hamburg will be delayed 24 hours. Ambulances were sent to the ships before they left to take off expectant mothers, but none disembarked. Reuter's Hamburg correspondent says the Jews will travel by a secret train en route across the British zone to two camps near the British and RuSsian zone border in Germany. The' secret route is to prevent sabotage attempts by the Germans. British Military Goverhment oificiais, usihg loudspeakers, will appeal to the Jews to land peacefully. Two hundred British troops will stand by in'case jf trouble. Unarmea troops will meet the ships and tear gas will be .ised only as a last resort to force the Jews ashore.
