| Norfolk, Va, Aug. 3.-With the
Deutschland supposed to be many miles
on her return journey across the At
lantic, the fact that the tug Thomas
F. Timmins has elected to remain in
| Norfolk confirms the belief that the
: subsea merchantmen Bremen. believed
to have sailed from Bremen for Balti-
more, is expected at the Capes within
the next few hours, or a day or two
at the outside.
Denials by Captain Hans Hinsch Of
the interned German liner Neckar that
she is expected, with his and Captain
Collisions declarations that the Tim
Minis is merely to remain in Norfolk in
the hope of picking up tow for her
return trip up the bay, are given little
credence. 1t is believed that she is
coaling and taking on supplies for the
purpose of again resuming her patrol
I of the Capes. Hinsch's display OF q
! railroad ticket and berth reservation
/ for Baltimore and his departure to-
! night failed to impress newspaper men
/ with the idea that the Bremen is not
still expected.
From German sources, found un-
usually reliable, and which yesterday
afternoon gave out the information
/ that the Deutschland would be on her
way to Germany before midnight,
comes the story that the Bremen has
already sailed, and will make the Capes
some time between Friday midnight and
daylight Monday next.
Expected at Capes Saturday.
With no delays and finding no diff
I Guilty in approaching the Capes, 1t is
/ believed the Bremen will reach the
pilot boat of Cape Henry on Satur-
| day morning. Counting on probable
delays and the fact that some msneu-
wiring may be necessary TO approach
safely, they place the arrival Sunday or
Monday morning. Riverfront men who
are familiar with the actions OF the
Timmins and the astuteness OF Captain
/ Zach Cullison, declare that within a
few hours they expect 20 see the Tim
Minis take up her vigil at the Capes.
/ Ostensibly, and according to her COM
mander, the Timmins will be looking
for a tow back to Baltimore; in fact
she will be awaiting the arrival OF the
Bremen, TO act as her convoy.
Confidence is expressed also that
Hinsch will quietly slip out of Balti-
more and return TO the Timmlns IN
ample time TO be on board Saturday
morning.
Naval officers who yesterday after
noon and on previous occasions had
boldly declared that the Deutschland
would have no trouble in getting away
/ feel pleased that their predictions were
/ fulfilled. They have maintained that
/ onl,, good luck or an accident would
nur the Deutschland in the hands of
/ the Allied cruisers. They see no
reason why the same entrance and de-
parture should not be effected by the
/ Bremen.
Newspaper men on the press boat
which last night followed the Deutsch-
land and the Timmins TO the waters
outside Of the Capes tell thrilling
stories of the final scene. They were
, chiefly impressed with the bravery Of
| the master and crew of the Deutsch-
/ land. with the thoroughness with
which everything had been planned
and the promptness with which all or
ders and movements were executed.
All Believe Her Gone.
All who witnessed the departure Of
the Deutschland admit that both the
ships in the neutrality patrol off the
Canes and the Allied cruisers were in
ignorance OF her departure. The
American ships only learned it through
information furnished by the Timmins,
while the English and French cruisers
did not learn of the departure for
hours after. il they yet know II. They
ere still on duty. Some believe they
doubt the story; others declare they

The reliability Of the reported de-
parture of the Deutschland cannot be
questioned. At least, that she left the
fimmins, headed seward and dissp-
reared under the water, is testified TO
BY all on board the press boat. The
suggestion that she is merely hang
ing on the bottom outside the Capes
is not given serious consideration here
by marine or naval experts. They de-
clare that the greater safety would
be found in running for mid-ocean, and
