zACAPA, COADED BY
FEAR, in SEA RACE
Pursued by Cruiser Off
Observation-Disclosures
Hid Jewels.

Passengers on the United Fruit
steamship Zacapa were thankful to get
ashore yesterday after a trip from
Colon, mingled with fear and excite
ment. News of the European war
reached the ship at Santa Marta, and
she was advised by the British Consul
to be on the watch for German cruisers
that were known TO be steaming about
for prizes in the Caribbean. Captain
Towel informed his passengers of the
situation and assured them that all
precautions would be taken for their
safety.
On the run to Colon no warships
were sighted, and the fears of the pas
senRers became somewhat allayed, bat
on arrival at the Panama port they
were alarmed by the details Of the war
in the newspapers. The Zacapa, like
all vessels of the United Fruit Line,
though owned by American capital
sailed under the British flag. As soon
as she had made fast to her pier the
German Consul went aboard and de-
manded the release Of thirty-iye Ger
man stokers.
Captain lowell informed the consul
ploy of the United Fruit Company and
that as he needed them to feed the
fires of his vessel he would have to de-
cline the request. While the contro-
versy was going on three of the stokers
jumped overheard and swan to an ad-
joining pier, but the skipper had them
arrested and returned to the ship.
When the vessel arrived at Kingstoa,
Jamaica a launch in charge of British
army officers and soldiers came out to
her. and took off the thirty-five Ger
mans, who were promptly made prison
ers of war. With much difficulty Cap
tain lowell found enough men to fill
their places and resumed his journey
10 New York. On approaching King
ston the authorities at Port Royal re-
quested the skipper to dismantle his
wireless, but he declined. Later, when
second and more imperative COM
mand was given he obeyed:
When a day out of Kingston the Ia
capa observed a warship about three
miles astern steaming for him at top
speed. He crowded on all the steam
his boilers could hold and was ready 20
outrun her if possible, when the chief
officers observed that she was signal
ing to know the vessels name. When
the signal was answered the warship
changed her course and put about. The
skipper said he thought she was an
Italian cruiser.
Many of the passengers, alarmed at
the presence of the man-of-war, re-
quested the ships purser to return
their jewels from the safe, stating that
in the event of capture they preferred
TO have their possessions hidden in
their pocketbooks.
