Gollum and Sauron

To be exact there are four versions of the Hunt for the Ring (UT).
In all the versions Sauron, after threatening the nazgul, sent them to Saruman.
In A and B Saruman denied knowledge of the Shire but it was Grima who betrayed Saruman and told them "The land of the Halflings (is) west through the Gap of Rohan yonder, and then north and a little west, until the next great river bars the way; the Greyflood it is called. Thence from the crossing at Tharbad the old road will lead you to the borders. 'The Shire,' they call it"
In C Saruman told them that the Shire "is northwest from here some six hundred miles, on the borders of the seaward Elvish country".
In A, B and C versions later in Eriador the nazgul captured a Dunlending spy of Saruman with maps and lists of names including Baggins.
