The two barges were loaded with dynamite, and everything was per- fectly j.ianned, except for one thing. | The British insisted on pacing up and down on the decks of the barges in the daylight to get their| usual daily exercise, instead of stay- ing below all day and coming up at night. 8o wne Germans saw them, porte¢ suspicious-looking sailors to the Rumanians, and the barges were seized. So now the Danube, un- blocked, is an important means by which war supplies are transport- ed to the Black Sea against Rus- sia, ard perhaps will be used later against Turkey and the Near East.
