NO PILOT FOR DUTCH TUG
Delays To Other Ships (Rec. 10.45 p.m.) PORT SAID, Aug. 25. The Egyptian Suez Canal Authority was reported yesterday to have told a Dutch contracting company that no
pilot was available for a tug sent from Rotterdam to tow two dredges and a barge belonging to the company out of the canal. Canal contracting sources said the Dutch company, Holma, had decided to pull out the dredgers and the barge after completing most of its work in straightening the canal at Kabrit. north of the Bitter Lakes. . It had sent the 386-ton tug Tyne ?o Port Said for this purpose. The dredgers and the barge are held up at Lake Timsah. 50 .miles south of Port Said. The sources said that, in another apparently delaying move, the canal authority had also ruled that the completed work must be rechecked. It had already been checked and approved by the old Suez Canal Company. The Holma Company is understood to be keeping the Dutch Embassy in Cairo advised of developments.
