 marine and the tug Timmins dropped anchor to wait until daylight. A yacht with Associated Press representatives on board met the Deutschland and her con | voy off Sandy Point about o'clock to- | night and attempted to range alongside.
 Hello, Deutschland" the newspaper men shouted.
 | Hello; what do you want? Who are you?" was the reply.
 | Where do you come from and when?' June 23. Helgoland."
 l Did you have any accidents coming over?"
 None"
 Did you see any British or French ships?"
 None"
 Were you chased by any British or French vessels near the coast?" No" answered the officer with evil dent impatience. T said I didn't see any enemy ships.''
 At this point the submarine showered sparks from her exhaust pipe and spurted ahead, cutting short the interview. At the same time the tug Timmins ap- preached the press boat and man on deck. who said he was the agent of the North German Lloyd line ordered the l newspaper yacht to keep off, saying that there would be no news until morning The yacht followed until the quarantine station was reached. But all further questions were unanswered. A PICTURESQUE SIGHT | The big submarine presented pie turesque sight as she plowed through | the tumbling whitecaps. Time and again after she passed into the mouth of the Patapsco river searchlights from excur- | sion steamers played upon her, throwing her dark,y painted hull into bold relief against the blackness of a rainy night. l She was riding high out of the water and almost the whole ships company walked about on the narrow deck. Most of the men wore oilskins, but the officer on the bridge stood regardless of the storm in | his blue coat and white trousers. Apparently the vessel is in perfect con- dition after her long voyage. She came
 up the bay with six or eight feet Of | freeboard showing, with coming tower standing high above. On each side of her bow is painted Deutschland" and on her stern "Deutschland-Bremen l No signs of armament of any description were visible on the outside. 1 Near amidships there was big can vas hatch covering under which members of the crew disappeared from time to time during the run up the bay. STARTS UP THE BAY l Three hours later. at 4:45 o'clock this morning the big submarine started up the bay with the German merchant nag l flying under her own power, piloted py 1 Capt. Frederick D. Cooke of the Virginia Pilots association and conveyed by the | Timmins She was making more than IF knots an hour and could have docked in Baltimore tonight but arrangements had | been made for receiving her with formal l ceremonies tomorrow and her captain was l ordered to wait in the lower harbor. He and his crew of 29 men remained aboard 1 their craft.
 l Regarding his vessel as a merchantmen subject to no unusual restrictions, the 1 skipper, whose name Is said to be Captain Kairig, went up the Chesapeake without waiting to notify local customs and quar- antine, authorities of his presence. He was five hours away before Norman Ham, l ilton, collector of Norfolk k-Newport News, heard the news and started on his trail aboard the coast guard cutter Onondaga | At last reports the cutter had not ap- preached the submarine and 1t is under | stood that she merely was ordered out | to keep the strange craft under surevil- 1 lance as a neutrality precaution. Quar-
 antine. and port regulations will be com piled with when the vessel moves up tc | her dock tomorrow.
 LITTLE KNOWN OF CRUISE
 1 Little was known here tonight about
 what happened during the epoch-makins
 | cruise, which in small measure at least
 breaks the blockade on German trade
 with the rest of the world. None of the
 submarines crew had landed and ths
 lagents of her owners had received only
 meagre reports. Such information as wa.
 l available came indirectly from the piiot
 and from Capt. Hans F. Hinsch, of tho
 North German Lloyd liner Neckar. laic
 up here since the beginning of the war
 Captain Hinsch boarded the Deutschland
 from the Timmins and made the trip ur
 the bay with her.
 ,l According to the accounts reaching i. here the underwater liners superstruc ture was standing 10 feet above the wa
 ter when she came in. Until daylight sh' II showed no flag. but the German merchan ensign was raised at sun-up Stories wer, circulated that British or French cruiser
 chased her at sea Thursday, but could no be confirmed.
 .l The boat Is consigned to A. Schumache & Co.,, local agents of the North German ], Lloyd line. and her cargo to the Easterr [ Forwarding company, said to have beei organized within the past few week.
