Newport News-The German con
verted cruiser Krouprinz Wilhelm,
another Of those elusive raiders Of
commerce In the South seas, slipped
into this port and asked for fuel aud
provisions Many times reported de-
stroyed, the former North German
Lloyd liner eyaded hostile warships
t1r eight months while she sent IA
merchantmen 70 the bottom. and her
officers said she was forced 10 steal

this refuge

the enemy ana we can get out the
same way declared her commander,
Lieut. Captain Paul Thierfelder, form.
erly navigation officer Of the German
cruiser Karlsruhe, in statement
given out here.
When she dropped anchor, the Kron
Prlnz Wilhelm had less than 25 tons
OF coal and scanty provisions for the
crew Of 500 men and 81 prisoners
from merchant ships sunk in the
South Atlantic. OF the IA ships that
the drab painted l5,0O0ton cruiser
sank. 9 were British, four French
and one Norwegian The value Of
these ships and their cargoes. officers
Of the Wilhelm estimated at $1,000.
600.
Following in the wake OF the In.
termed Prinz Eitel Friedrich. which ar.
rived here a month ago, after similar
thrilling operations, the Kron Prtlnz
Wilhelm came dashing through the
lane of enemy warships which had
lowered OF these shores for weeks
before the Eitel was interned
IN her raid OF the seas since she
slipped out of New sork harbor Au.
gust 8, last as a German merchant and
passenger steamer, the Kron Prinz
Wilhelm never touched land and took
$50 prisoners from various vessels
destroyed.
Most Of these were sent 70 South
American ports al different tines on
German ships which met the raider In
response to wireless calls. The 81
now on board who will be landed here
are British sailors taken from the
steamships Tamar, destroyed March
25. and Coleby. destroyed March 81
last.
The second OF the raiders brought
as thrilling a story as did her pre-
deoessor, the Eitel Friedrich Her
record of destruction. however, was
accomplished with only four guns
two taken from the German cruiser
Karlsruhe and two captured later from
the British merchant steamer La Cor
rentina, sunk October z, 1914
The most connected story Of the
long voyage from New York, 255 days
