Norfolk, Va, August 3.-SO far us Is safely at sea, on her way to Bremens after successfully running through the patrol of allied cruisers off the Vfr- ginia capes. The war vessels still were in sight of observers on shore today. apparently unaware of the departure of the big subsea liner.
 It is not believed the Deutschland ex- perienced the slightest difficulty in evad- ing the cruisers Captain Hinsch of the directed the departure of the submarine, said today the underwater freighter passed unobserved within 100 yards of a United States destroyer on neutrality duty about a mile off the capes.
 HINSCH'S STORY
 When we came to a stop at point
 in the bay I shall not disclose, because we probably shall have to use the place again." said Captain Hinsch, the pilot aboard the submarine was taken off on the Thomas F. Timmins, our tug. It was then about o'clock in the morning. The submarine was submerged so that her machinery and pumps could be tested and the cargo be trimmed, should that be necessary. She then went down in deep hole in the bay to depth Of 155 feet, remaining there for sometime When she came to the surface again, Captain Koenig came up through the 1 coming tower and said that everything 1 was working perfectly. That pleased us, as we had thought we might have had l to rearrange something.
 .The trial completed, we started of down the bay and when no traffic was | in sight the Deutschland took another dive while running. She went down unti only four inches of her periscope was showing. Then I dropped behind to sec at what distance the wake of tht Deutschland or the foam crest of the per 1 iscope could be seen. Four hundred yard: | with glasses I could not see thing. "The tests having proved that the Deutschland was in perfect condition, wt We were we'll hidden. too. Anyone would have had great difficulty in finding us.
 PASSED DESTROYER UNDERSEA
 Tn the afternoon we started for th' capes and you know how the better par l of the trip was made. The destroyer
 was passed in the dark. AS soon as thu men on the bridge sighted the lights O ] the Timmins they watched us closet. and looked all around for the submarine which passed them at distance of onl, 100 yards. At the time the submarine decks were awash.
 Later when I reported to the de stroyer that the Deutschland had cleare' the capes and was on her way to sea, tn officers aboard seemed most surprised {, They had not observed her at all. S you see that the British and Frenc | cruisers off shore hadn't the slightes
 chance of finding the Deutschland"

 Two hours before the execution a crowd of men, women and urchins gathered before the prison gates. Twenty minutes before Easement mounted the scaffo1d the great prison bell commenced to toll. The sound was greeted with cheers from the crowd, intermingled with some groans. At g o'clock the crowd had swollen to such proportions that it extended for two blocks from the prison front. At one minute after 9, single stroke of the big bell announced that the trap had been sprung. It was the signal for a mocking, jeering yell from the crowd which suddenly melted away into pro- found silence,
