Following is the information:

Resolution" and "Kingston Emerald" and the Icelandic gunboat "Aegir" on the night of 2nd April.

Mr. Amery

During the afternoon and evening of 2nd April the Icelandic coastguard vessel "Aegir" was harassing a number of British trawlers fishing off South-East Iceand. The tug "Englishman" was assisting the trawlers to frustrate attempts by "Aegir" to cut their warps. Eventually "Aegir" managed to cut both warps of the trawler "Ross Resolution" and one warp of the "Kingston Emerald". She also fired three shots, one of which may have been live, towards "Englishman", which continued to support the trawlers until "Agir"left the area. Her Majesty's Ambassador at Reykjavik has protested to the Icelandic Government about these incidents.
