Bert was long gone by then and may not have had any contact with Davies. Regarding Clausen, he may have ironically escaped the fate of the SE, because if he had still been aboard in 39 he would have been interned, as a German. I don't know what happened to German naturals/seamen at the beginning of the war. Were they counted as prisoners of war or just kept under surveillance?
