Collector Hamilton's report on the Appam notes Berge made no request for repairs or extra provisions beyond minimal food. Berge calls the Appam a privy not a naval auxiliary. Hamilton doubts Moewe captured the Appam, suspects a faster armed merchant ship, while submarine involvement is ruled out. Release of English crew members remains a state department issue.
