Commanded by Captain Karig and
manned by a crew of twenty-nine men.
allied cruisers, and barely four miles
from the breakers and hardly mile
inside the enemy's warships, came to
the surface. The run was quickly
made to the pilot boat station off the
Cape Henry lighthouse, where the
U-boat halted and began signaling,
evidently expecting to find the tug
TimmOns in waiting.
This vessel is the most gigantic
submarine ever built. 1t is 315 feet
long, and has spread of some 40
feet.
Questioned as to the undersea
boats cargo, Captain Karig frankly
states that he had on board 1000
tons of cargo, including a quantity of
Gyestuffs, a communication from EN-
peror William of Germany to Presi-
dent Wilson. He landed the messen-
ger Monday for the trip to Washing

Lack of accurate information about
the experiences of the Deutschland

making an estimate upon the speed
at which she had travelled. Bremen

1000 to reach the United States, of
which distance 1900 were under wa
