She was considered to be a craft of about SO' j or GOO tons, and the impression was that she wa s 0 f German build, timber laden, and Raving' be come leaky, had been abandoned. Thera were no ai g‘ ns 0 f life on board, and after a passing scrutiny 0 f deserted vessel, the Scerlmner was kept on he; . course.
