through the streets of Dover.]
“Capt. Fryatt was assured that soon after her arrival at Tilbury the
capture of the _Brussels_ would be reported. The _Brussels_ was met
and escorted by several airplanes to Zeebrugge, where the destroyers
were already moored. On arrival at Zeebrugge the _Brussels_ was moored
alongside the Mole. The engineers and crew all returned. The crew were
sent to their quarters and kept under armed guard. The officers and
engineers were placed under a guard in the smokeroom, and Captain the
same in his room. The Belgian refugees were closely searched, and
landed at Zeebrugge. After a stay of about five hours the _Brussels_
left and proceeded to Bruges under her own steam.
