REFITTED IN RUSSIA
FORMER GERMAN TRAWLER. NOW SAILING UNDER WHITE ENSIGN. (By Telegrauh—Press Association —Copyright) LONDON, August 23. A former German trawler now sailing under the White Ensign, is one of the few British warships which have been refitted in Russia. She recently spent a month in a northern Russian port, 25 miles behind the front line, while Russian workers, under the direction of a Russian engineer captain, repaired the damage done by ice and overhauled the ship's engines. The work was done without interpreters. During the trawler’s stay there were seldom fewer than three air raids a day.
