The Richelieu, which was torpedoed du

being brought back into the harbor, has now bo,on
paired and is afloat alongside Mole 2 in th Viddle
Basin. Mr, Michalski believes that it full ificioncy
has not been restored, however, and doubts whethor it
could attain a speed of more%than 10 knots.
The three cruisors now stationed at rktkar are
those which the British allowed to come through
litraltor in September, 1940, and of the three, one
is always absent on patrol or a run to Casablanca, eta.
Of this 4 to 6 destroyers stationed there, soma are
