| New York tomorrow night.
 | Meanwhile the IA passengers and i the l3G British seamen captured with the other seven ships taken by the raider POnga or MoeWe, had been transferred ashore by steamers Five four Lascars, of the crew of the Clan ! MacT2Njs, all wounded were re- moved to hospital. All the others with most of the passengers were placed aboard river steamers for Nor folk. An old Dominion liner was be- ing held at her dock to take them to 1 New York
 The British government is caring for all passengers and crews of the cap tured freighter and will send them on to England aboard the first available ship. The Elder Dempster Company will arrange for the return of the Ap- pans crew.
 Lieutenant Berg, commanding the prize ship Appam. talked for the first time tonight of his cruise. He ridi- culed the suggestion that his raider vas the new fruit trader Ponga, insist ing that she was the MOewe. He con filmed his accounts of his capture of the seven English vessels and declared he had nothing to say regarding his future plans.
 When asked how his crew felt about tEeir enforced idleness, the lieutenant squared his shoulders proudly.
 "Ah. my crew." he exclaimed. They are artists. They take their work as it comes.'
 ApologiZing for any seeming brevity in his remarks. the lieutenant said he spoke as fully as he dared owing to his extraordinary position
 It would be useless" he said, for me to repeat the stories of the capture pf the seven British crews by myself any my men. The accounts that I have seen have been correct in almost every detail
 As to the raider being either the . Fcnsa or the Room, I can only say this, and l never shall say more: My ship was His Majestys Moewe" But is she the original Moewe or i. she another ship converted into a wal vessel and given the name of the 5 Moewe?' was asked
 } The lieutenant appeared amused at the question and laughingly replied Again I say it is the Moewe" And many interrogations as to when the raider first was built, if she ever was a freighter. if plates from the olG MoeWe Were placed on her. and other questions that have mystified the world since the prize crew brought tie Appam into port. the lieutenant enl repeated. She is the Moewe."
 If the lieutenant has any immediat, plans, he is keeping them to himself He insists that at present he is jus waiting. He greeted with gratefu smiles the statement that various En- glishmen had complimented the priz, crew on it's treatment of them. H, said that he had yet to hear a com plaint.
 Constant vigilance has told on tn, prize commander. Instead of resting as he had planned when he cam, lashore tonight he paced nervously hotel corridor until about 10 oclocl land then hurried back to the Appam He was dressed in civilian clothes
