GERMAN SUBSEA
MAKES SECOND TRIP
Deutschland Arivers at New
London with Cargo of Dyes,
Drugs and Chemicals,
TWENTY. ONE DAYS ON WAY

New London, Conn.,, Nov. 1.-The
German submarine Deutschland,
which arrived here this morning from
Bremen after what was, said to be
an uneventful voyage Of twenty-one
days, has a cargo Of $50 tons Of dye
stuffs, medicines and Chemicals,
Neither Captain Koenig nor Cap
tain S. Fl Hinsch of the Eastern
Forwarding company were commune
cative as to details OF the trip across
the Atlantic, but they promised to
see newspaper men late in the after
noon.
Crowds thronged the dock during
the forenoon in the hope Of get
ting a glimpse of the craft, but they
were disappointed. The submarine Is
so we'll berthed in it's pocket that
not even its mast shows. Policemen
and detectives kept the crowds
moving.
The German submarine entered the
lower harbor shortly after midnight,
coming in by the race at the entrance
to Long Island Sound. A heavy fog
lay over the harbor. For several
weeks the Eastern Forwarding COM
pany, agents for its owners, had
tug each night off Montauk Point
ready to meet the Bremen, but the
tug was withdrawn some time ago
1t was evident that the forwarding
company had some warning of the
Deutschlands arrival, however, for a
tug was engaged and Captain F.
Hinsch of the company, accompanied
by the health officers, steamed out to
meet the submersible. The North
German Lloyd steamer Willehad
which had been at its dock here for
number of weeks awaiting the ar
rival of German submarine freight
er, let its searchlight play on the
water, marking the path by which the
Deutschland Travelled to its wharf.
Delayed by Collision. Il
Captain Koenig said that he had
expected to leave Bremen on October
|, but that his boat was injured in
collision and forced to put back for
repairs, which delayed its sailing for
ten days.
The captain and the crew of twen-
ty-five men were in excellent health
and high spirits. The Deutschland
carried clearance papers for "Balti-
more or any Atlantic port"
The boat was no sooner moored
than it was screened from sight by
a pontoon carrying a high fence. Its
crew went on board the Willehad.
A score of negro stevedores went
aboard the Willehad in readiness to
begin breaking out the carge- of the
submersible at daylight or as soon as
James McGovern Of Bridgeport, col
lector OF customs for the Connecticut
district, had given the necessary per-
mission.
Captain Koenig said except for un-
usual rough weather, the trip across
had been uneventful. The Dcutsch-
land cargo is said to consist mainly
of chemicals and medicines.
Return Cargo Ready.
A return cargo from the Deutsch-
land consisting manly OF crude rubber
and surgical supplies, valued at more
than $500,000, has been ready on the
pier OF the Eastern Forwarding COM
pany for several weeks.
The Deutchland is safely berthed
here. The North German Lloyd
steamship Willehad is made fast to
piling at distance of about fifty
feet from the pier and in such a po-
sition that with the ship on opc side,
the pier on the other and the bank at
one end, an open water space fifty
by 1856 feet is made enclosed on three
sides. e
To complete the enclosure, float
ing gate, built on pontoons, is made
fast to u piling set at the bow of the
Wiliehad.
