Berlin Says Second Submersi-

Berlin, July 1.-THE Bremen report
printed abroad that the new submarine
Bremen is proceeding to Rio Janeiro
is erroneous. 1t is believed here that
the report was purposely circulated
with a view to eliciting the real desti-

The Bremen left the Weser shortly

Man Drawn from Sinking Ship
by Large Fish, Survivors Re.
port in Philadelphia.

Two sharks about nine feet long were
seen at Oyster Bay yesterday. One was
driven from Bayville Creek, shallow
stream popular with bathers, by Allen
and Butler Flower and their father
Frank.
The three had been dredging for
oysters. II was high tide, and there
was nine feet of water in the channel.
A hundred yards away shark roiied
to the surface and slid away toward the
bridge spanning the creek.
Putting ashore for a shotgun and
ammunition, the Flowers set out after
the shark. They got within twenty
five feet of the fish, which was near the
surface. Allan Flower. who had the
gun, aimed at the base Of the dorsai mn
and let it have both barrels. The shark
dived straight down and vanished, leav-
ing trail of blood.
The mouth of the creek where the
shark was shot is TWO miles from the
village of Oyster Bay. Returning, the
Flowers sighted another of about the
same size within 800 yards Of the WI
lage. They could not get close enough
for a shot.
Coast Alive with Sharks.
Shippers whose ships arrived in New
York Yesterday agreed that the middle
Atlantic coast was alive with sharks
Survivors of the steamer Ramos who
were landed in Philadelphia offered
grisly corroboration. They had seen
one of their companions pulled down
bv a shark when lifeboat upset while
being launched from the sinking ship
and were convinced that boat con-
tanning Captain McGoldrick and eight
seamen had been attacked and capsizec

men were landed.

water that we had difficulty at times ir
rowing" said Peter Ostra, first officer
of the Ramos. "You see, all our pro

IBy Telegraph 10 The Tribune ]

Baltimore, July 1.-THE Deutsch-
land, the German submarine merchant
ship, which arrived in this port on July
10 with a cargo of dyestuffs valued at
81 100000 or more, is ready with her
new ocean wave coat of paint and her
cargo of rubber and nickel slowed
away to glide quietly down the Chesa-
peake Bay, steal out through the capes
darkness, plunge into the depths of
the Atlantic until she has eluded the
waiting British warships and then
speed on to her home port.
It is believed that the Deutschland
will get away within forty-eight hours.
No American or any other man has
been engaged to take the place of the
member of the crew who will remain
here with Schumacher e. Co. This man
performed clerical service, and Captain
Koenig and officials of the Eastern
Forwarding Company assert that no
American will return in his place on
the vessel.
The tug Thomas F. Timmins, which
towed the submarine to Baltimore from
the capes, coaled this afternoon. Cap
tain f. Hinsch, of the nterned North
German Lloyd steamer NecLar, who had
charge of the Timmins when she picked
up the Deutschland, was seen on the
tug just before she left the pier to take
on coal.

Sizing Up the Enemy's Patrol.

Sizing Up the Enemy's Patrol.
Agents of the company operating the
Timmins spent Sunday in Norfolk,
Newport News. Old Point and other
bay ports seeking information as to
the number of Allied warships now pa
trolling off the Virginia capes, their
positions and the extent of their patrol
area up and down the coast.
No effort was made 10 conceal the
fact that the information was sought
for the use of the Deutschland. Every
captain in the several menhaden fishing
fleets was interviewed by these agents.
The fishing fleets are constantly off the
capes and are certain TO know the po-
stions of the British and French cruls-
ers. Four war vessels are doing patrol
duty at present. Two were sighted to-
day from seashore resorts near Nor
folk.
"No one will know when the Deutsch-
land leaves If we can prevent II, Paul
Hiken said tonight.
That the time for the start is near
is apparent in the announcement to-
day that no more visitors VIII be per-
mitted aboard.
There are indications that the local
port authorities will help Captain koe-
mig to accomplish a getaway. Col,
lector Of the Port William Ryan Will
not say anything except that the
Deutschland has not yet cleared. IL
is pretty certain that he Will not tell
ANYBODY when her clearance papers are
filed.
Sister Ship Due at Once.
While there is much speculation as
IN when the Deutschland will get away,
interest centres in the report that an
other submarine is on the way mere.
This is the Bremen. sister ship TO the
Deutschland. which is said TO be due
here at any time. Preparations are
being made at the dock of the Eastern
Forwarding Company 10 accommodate
another vessel. The Bremen. 1t is SAID
will lie on the other side of the dock
from the Deutschland. The dock on
that side is being dredged, presumably
for the Bremen.
The fresh coat of paint put on the
Deutschland since Saturday has so
changed her appearance that she re-
sembles the color of the sea as nearly
as possible. The upper parts OF me
vessels sides are painted 10 resemble
sea waves, including the foam OF white
caps.
iookouts and guards about the SUD
marine are keeping a close watch tor
bombs or internal machines. S,ories
have been circulated in German circles
that an attempt would be made TO blow
up the ship. Reports that bombs mao
been found in boxes supposed TO con
tain gifts for the officers were fiatiy
denied by Paul Hilken and Captain
Koenig. They have been taking precau'
tions, however, and inspecting closely
every box brought to the pier. Not one
box containing cargo is slowed until II
has been opened and the contents eX'
amined.
The statement that Captain Koenie
would 90 to New York to receive
package of official mail for the German
Foreign Office from Ambassador vor
Bernstorff was denied by Mr.. Hilken
who said the captain would not leave
Baltimore.
