Eye-witnesses vouch for the appearance off Copenhagen towards the end of October of a 19,000 ton German liner bearing the Danish name of "Prince Olaf." carrying the Danish flag and also having it painted on her sides, fl is believed that, the ship escaped from South America, coining via Iceland and then sneaking clown inside territorial waters along the coast of Norway and Sweden. Owing to her deep draughts, the steamer was unable to proceed through the Oresund and the shallow Drogden below Copenhagen, until her cargo had been lightened. Three or four German destroyers were continually patrolling around the mystery ship, while smaller steamers transferred the cargo. The steamer later finished and was believed to have reached a German harbour.
