zEALANDIA IS
At
MANY PLACES
Belief Exists That She Was
Fitted Out Here as Com
merce Destroyer.
SUSPECT GERMAN
OFFICERS ABOARD
Men From the Prinz Eitel
Frederic at Norfolk, Sup
posed to be in Command

That the American steamer Zealan-
dia, which dropped into Pensacola a
few weeks ago, has been fitted out as
a commerce destroyer, is suspected
now in New York, the port from
whence she halls, as well as at many
other places.
That she is commanded by three
of the missing officers from the in
termed German cruiser Prinz Eitel
Frederick is the belief, based on the
fact that few hours before her sud-
den departure, twelve hours ahead of
her schedule, three Germans, all of
military bearing and apparently quite
refined, boarded her. The master said
one had been shipped in BROOKLYN
and two in New York. Her entire
crew was composed of Germans and
Austrians, although the crew that ar
rived was a mixed one.
The Zealandia came into mort on Oct
10, and got away a few DAYS later.
She steamed in unannounced and the
master,a German, as evidenced by his
every action and remark, said he had
had no cargo aboard. The pilot board
ing him remarked that something was
wrong with the ship if it had no car
go aboard, and it was the first vessel
he ever piloted that had a bad list to
the starboard when empty. The cap
tain declined to explain. The deputy
harbor master took the ship and
asked the captain for what port he
would load. The master considered
this rather pertinent question.
Although no one apparently knew
of the steamers approach to port, her
cargo was nevertheless ready and IT
began loading as soon as she could
be berthed. 1t consisted of 5000 bar
rels of rosin for Ma1mo, Sweden.
shipped by firm of Mexicans. Then
the Zealandia filled her bl1nkers to
their capacity and loaded two thous-
and tons of coal in her hold. Aboard
went two thousand pounds of fresh
meats and stores sufficient to last the
crew many months, while her wireless
apparatus, capable of only a two
hundred mile radius, was increased to
over one thousand. Ship carpenters
were busy for the forty-eight hours
and when the Zealandia was ready two
strong platforms forward, one on
each side, had been constructed.
They were Of heavy spruce and oak
timbers and when custom house in
spector inquired their use he was told
they were anchor platforms.
Just before the Zealandia was ready
for sea three new officers Joined her.
They were all Germans, apparently
well educated and more refined than
= the ordinary German engaged in the
merchant service. Each was IN citi-
zens clothing, was very erect and an
parently about thirty years of age.
To supply Scandinavian cook the
master offered bonus Of thirty-fve

Captain Kittelle received a radio
gram today ordering him TO proceed
to San Francisco and bring to Homo

KS, and to leave San Francisco as
soon after September Is as possible.
The orders stated that Capt. Kit
telle will have at his disposal to as
sist the submarines the U. s. collier
Saturn and the towing tug Iroquois,
both now at the Mare Island navy
yard - z. .z......, i. -. =.
The submarines will move under
their own power SAID Capt. Kittelle
today, '.and the reason for the two adj
ditional boats which have been given
me to command is to enable us to
meet all emergencies which may arise,
should any of the submarines become
disabled and need towing. With a
collier and a tug assistance can be
given to the submarine squadron much
more quickly and satisfactorily than
from vessel the size of the Mary
land" - 49,. -.. ~.
Capt Kittelle added that if he is
able to leave San Francisco Septem-
Der 10. the squadron should arrive
here September 81, as the subma-
rines, not having the speed of liner
or battleship, will require more time
TO cover the 2100 miles between San
Francisco and this port.
The cruiser will take on coal Fri
day and Saturday, Capt. Kittelle said
ave had planned to coal Monday"
he added, but owing to number of
big liners which dock that day we
have decided to do so sooner. We
shall load about 1100 tons. With good
facilities we could take it on in a
