ing Port Early This Morning.
Baltimore, Md, July 10. - The
Deutschland, gigantic cargo ladened
submarine, ended its historic journey
early this mroning. -.,
Sliding her snout through the driz-
Fly night up the Patapsco river be-
hind a dock, she put into quarantine
after a journey up the Chesapeake.
When she locked custom officers
and doctors wrote "Finis" to the first
chapter of one of the biggest marine
campaigns of all times. This is the
| first time in history of trip Of the
worlds largest submarine to cross
tho Atlantic.
1t came in ladened with cargo of
dyestuffs and other articles for which
America has been clamoring for for
thinking OF making regular line of
cargo carrying submarines between
the fatherland and America.
| Heligoland was named as the point
of departure and June % the date of
leaving. ...
| With her arrival in the middle
| bdhh vi Liz IlfCi, Int
pulled along the Estward Forwarding
Company dock.
| Down the stream was a British ma
rine with the Union Jack flying from
the mast, The men all smiled hard
smile as they saw her. They had
| foiled and fouted England. 49,.
| The unloading of 1000 tons of dye
stuffs and mail started early. The
| GnrDoonc with hof
went about their task joyfully. An
would be no spies.
-% Arrives OF Cape Henry.
Long expected, ridiculed, fabulous as
the sea serpent or the Flying Dutch
man, she became reality to the watch
ers Off Cape Henry at exactly l 30
Sunday and slowly made her way
through network of inquisitive ships
and through the mazes of red tape of
the quarantine and customs officials to
her dock at the pier of the Eastern
Forwarding company, Locust Point,
Baltimore. ... s.s.-'
| She is. the largest submarine afioat.
The largest German war models are
less than 300 feet long. But this sub
marine of commerce is 315 feet long,
exactly one-third the length of the
largest merchant vessels afoat--the
Vaterland and the Imperator. -~-- ~.~- !
Carries Dyestuffs.
| The boat carries no passengers. Her
cargo consists entirely of dyestuffs-
a thousand tons of them. This keeps
her very low in the water when on the
surface. Her draft, when she was sight
ed, was II feet and it was largely be-
cause of her depth that she did not
try to come nearer land when SUBJ
merged.
+ She is commanded by Captain Kai-
rig and has q crew of 20 men. Both
captain and crew are drawn from the
German merchant feet and not from
the navy. The craft is unarmed and
is being treated by the United States
like any other merchant ship.
1t is said that she submerged when
ever she saw any vessel, ON the chance
that it might be warship. The Eng
fish government was not among those
who regarded the transatlantic sub
mersible as joke, and the report is
that the Deutschland was chased for
30 hours by English and French war
ships. She submerged and eluded them
by travelling out of her course 800
miles.
Makes Record Of ALSO Miles.
Because she was forced to make this
detour she has the record for subma-
rine distance travel. The longest trip
previously made by any submarine was
the $500 miles, from Kiel to CONSTANT
nople, made by the U-boat that sank
the British battleship Majestic 1t is
said that the Deutschland Travelled A.
$50 miles, 1900 miles of this being un-
der water. The trip was made in 16
days.
She ran through the North sea sub
merged practically all the time, She
was forced to submerge again for
time when she got two-thirds of the
way across, when she sighted Dutch
merchant vessel in her path. And,
some 600 miles off the Virginia coast,
Sllt was lIlSlllCucu OuL u sea dBuiu LOT
distance Of some 200 miles by enemy
warships, But on her return she was
able to come to the surface a hundred
miles from land and was not forced to
submerge again.
Met by Tug Of U. S.
The Deutschland was met off Cape
Henry by the tug Thomas f. Timmons
of the Eastern Forwarding company.
She had been waiting at the capes for
the past IL days. And couple of days
ago Capt! r. Hinsch, the marine super
intendent of the Ocean Transportation
company, as the new merchant marine
line is called, vent on board the Tim
mons. He directed the plotting of the
Deutschland up the bay.
I'VE have proved" he told members
OF the Virginia Pilots association,
"that the English blockade amounts
TO nothing. There will be more sub
marines from Germany. They will be
making regular trips just like the big
liners from England in few weeks.
We Will have them coming In at New
York and other American ports"
''This boat is in excellent condition.
