 Without the knowledge of the captain, the chief engineer and a seaman hid Philpot until Tuesday, when the ship sailed.Once the ship was at sea, Philpot again made his presence known to the captain, who took a different attitude now the ship was no longer in port.After the ship arrived in Sweden, Philpot was handed over to the Swedish police and taken to the British Legation in Stockholm on Thursday 4 November 1943—less than five days since the breakout.
