Scots complain as American sailors leave unpaid bills at Holy Loch
Scots in Dunoon complain of debt left by American Polaris submarine crew after Proteus departure. Merchants say credit was extended during the two year stay, now eroded goodwill. Navy spokesman notes debts cannot be forced but urges payment. Depot ship Hunley replaces Proteus at Holy Loch base. Captain Dubois had advised merchants to write about outstanding debts.
