The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-07-10

6 Capt. Konig left his ship at noon and went to the offices of the North German Lloyd agents here. Thence he went to the customs house where the Deutschland was formally entered.
 This Is not the only one that is coming" said the captain. Just wait. There will be more here soon and we are going back for another cargo. We are going to have D regular line."
 From the customs house. Captain Konig returned to his vessel, joining his crew in the cramped quarters in which they have lived for more than three weeks. So far no arrangements have been made for either officers or men to live ashore while the subma- rine is preparing for her return voy- age.
 Confident that no serious attempt will be made to question the merchant man status of the submarine Deutsch- land. the Baltimore German consulate storff at New York, that t would be unnecessary for any representative ot the embassy to hurry here to look saf- ter the interests of the underwater liner. >s~ 4hCIS 1S Sdlu lO D0 OU OOdTu Q ldk 6c sack of diplomatic mail, bearing the seal of the Imperial German govern- ment.

 Capt. Konig talked freely to port of fcials this morning as his boat moved up to her dock from the lower harbor where she had dropped anchor last night.
 All through the night a consider. able part of the Deutschland's crew had been astir and a small searchlight played almost constantly upon a news paper yacht anchored nearby The tug Thomas F. Timmons, conveying the submarine, also kept the yacht under close surveillance.
 Shortly after 4 o'clock. when day. light was beginning to show faintly through heavy. low-lying clouds. and a steady. drizzling rain, boat with health and customs officials aboard put out from the quarantine station and went alongside the submarine. Tc the municipal health officer, Dr Thomas L. Richardson, the skipper presented his bill of health issued te y- States consul at Bremen, on June IA The document described the Deutsch- land as "a vessel engaged in the freight trade between Bremen and Boston or other eastern Atlantic ports"
 It records her gross tonnage as 791 says she Is newly built" has a cargo Of dyestunfs in good condition and "a wholesome supply of water from the Bremen water works"
 One thing the boarding officers not ed particularly-there were no torpe- do tubes or guns of any description visible aboard the vessel. They had been told that she mounted two small calibre rifles for defense but came ashore convinced that the visitor was wholly uparmed.
 It was learned that the boat left Bremen with a load of about 750 tons of valuable dyestuffs which her own- CTS hope to sell to American manu- lecturers for a fortune. At Helgo- land she waited nine days, leaving there June 22 to plough deep beneath the surface of the North Sea to escape the watchful eyes of the allied block aders. Captain Konig indicated that the purpose of his long delay at Hell goland was to deceive the enemy, who undoubtedly had heard rumors of the submarines coming.
 We stopped there for very good reasons" the captain explained with a broad smile.
 This accounted for the belief in the United States that the vessel was a week overdue, a nnisapprehension that caused German embassy officials to fear that she had run into allied war ships or fallen victim to an Atlantic storm. Once outside the blockading lines and into the Atlantic. according to the captains story, he headed straight across and deviated from his course only once, when he saw what he took to be enemy craft.
 Most of the time he sped along on the surface, making a round 14 knots with his powerful twin Diesel oil en- zines, submerged, he could go at the rate or seven and one-half knots.
 Approaching the Capes, late Satur- day, Captain Konig found his path ap- parently clear. He laid to with his decks awash, however, waiting until darkness fell before nearing the coast. When the bright half noon went down. shortly after midnight he put
