CAPTURED SIX BRITISH
STEAMERS OFF COAST
OF INDIA.
SANK FIVE OF Them
Prisoners Speak Highly Of the
Treatment Accorded Them
by the Germans.

CALCUTTA, Sept 2l.-G.5O p. m)
The crows of the six British steam
ors captured by the German cruiser
Emdcn In the BAY Of Bengal five Of
which were sunk after the crews had
been taken OFF, arrived here late to-
day They speak highly of the treat
mcut accorded them hy the Germans.
George Read, second officer OF tho
Indus. says his ship was sighted the
morning OF September 10 by tho Em-
den. The Germans had Intercepted all
wireless messages and so knew tho
position Of all the vessels I'm the bay
The cruiser fired ten shots at tho
Indus which, however was not sunk
until more than AN hour after tho
attack began the German marksman-
ship being poor
The nest afternoon the same pro-
gram was followed with the British
ship LuyHL
ON the night Of the twelfth the
kahiuga tlast reported az Calcutta,
september - was sighted and an
armed crew placed aboard her Two
hours later the KILN was captured
ana AN armed crew took possession
Of her. During the night three other
vessels were sighted by the Emden
but were not pursued The crew
placed aboard the Killln was removed
In the morning and she also was
sunk.
About midday the Germans board
ed the Diplomat and put her crew on
the kabinEa A mine then was placed
under the bow of the Diplomat, and
after five shots had been fired at
her she went down bow first
The Emdcn then chased another
vessel which, however, escaped. A
heavy rain came on during the night
and the Emden apparently lost her
bearings for pagodas on shore wero
sighted and the vessel shifted her
course into deeper water
ON the morning OF the fourteenth
/ the captured crews were transferred
/ TO the KabnBa ana an nour later
/ the TradbOck was captured After her
crew had been sent to the Kablnga,
an extremely powerful mine was
placed under her bow and she sank
Immediately
Immediately afterward the German
prize crew was taken off the Ka-
binEa and the two German vessels ac-
cOmpanied her with within seventy
five miles of the sand heads at tho
mouth Of the Hugh river When last
seen the Emden and the Marko-
MAMMA were lying motionless.
Tho officers of the Emden believed
that Paris was invested and that the
British dreaduoughts in the North
sea had been destroyed. They treated
their prisoners generously, giving up
their cabins 10 them and supplying
them with the best food they had.
Whom they parted from their prison
crs the Germans bade them u most
cordial farewell.
From what they said they ap-
parently had little hope of getting out
Of the bay again.
During the whole time the captures
were being made the sea was rough
and truns-shipmen OF prize crews
and prisoners was hazardous and
uncertain undertaking. II was how
ever M every case accomplished
