A. Hague has also added the Greek Agia Varvara (sailing from Swansea on Sept. 2), with a note saying "possibly this convoy". Fresno Star, however, is not mentioned in his listing, nor is the Norwegian San Andres (he has listed the latter ship in Convoy ON 129). Also, some of his station numbers are different from the original form on Page 1.
Additionally, he has the American Bohemian Club, but station number is not given.

Laurits Swenson romped in 48 52N 33 04W
Marit II detached to St. John's, N.F.
Pachesham detached for St. John's on Sept. 15
