and back. At Szob a Hungarian customs official boarded the DDSs ship
and accompanied it to,Budapest and back. In the port of Budapest, the
police boat-circled the DDSG craft continuously, making use of a spo-
light during the hours of.darkness.1 When the DDSG craft passed through
channels close to the shore, the Hungarian police boat stationed itself
between the Austrian boat and the bank.

shore for only a short time, since they were constantly accompanied by
a Hungarian policeman. After this, few members of the crew requested
shore permits.
