  [Cut to some fishing boats passing by Top Hat and O.J. in Uptown] 

  Narrator : I moved my tugs to a small port at the mouth of the river, from where we could carry out our duties. As it was not possible to bring shipping into the harbour.

  [Cut to S.S. Vienna sailing into the bay through the fog]
