crew of the sub-sea merchantmen !
Deutschland continued TO act to-day as
if they were about to put to sea-out |
they did not go. Captain koenig and
his men even seemed to be anxious
over the delay. They are exceeding
the limit Of time set to remain here
"We will not be here longer than
ten days" the captain told the collector
of the port. This was the eleventh
day.
All sorts of rumors continue in cir
culation as 10 the causes for the de-
Law, but few doubt that it is in ac-
cordance with general plans, whatever |
the reason.
Bremen May Arrive To-day.
The second German submarine mer-
chant ship. the Bremen, is expected TO
change places with the Deutschland IN |
a few DAYS. according to an intlmation |
given to-day by Captain Hinsch. master
of the interned North German Lloyd
steamer Neckar and confidential ad-
visor 10 Captain Koenig.
Representative George Washington
Edmunds. Of Philadelphia, visited the
pier this afternoon and asked Captain
Hinsch 10 permit him TO board the
Neckar and view the Deutschland.
Cant be done" said Captain hlnsch.
Come back on Monday. Another sub,
marine just like the Deutschland Will
be in then
The wireless apparatus was rigged
up this afternoon on the Deutschland,
and the tug Thomas F. Timmins took
position from which it could quickly
connect a hawser with the Deutschland:
From German sources it was learned
tonight that Ambassador Won Bern
storff and Prince Hatfield will pay
farewell visit 10 the submarine
Deutschland next Wednesday and that
she will not sail untn Wednesday night
or Thursday.
Captain Koenig. four other officers
and fourteen of the crew OF the sub
marine took a night of tonight. Iney
went to Canstatter Park, in the sub
urbs. where the Austrian Red Cross
Society was holding a bazaar.
Captain Koenig made a little speech
in German. when | came here ne
said. 81 thought | would meet only Ger
mans who would be our friends. But
now I am proud to say that nave met
hundreds of Americans. some very IN
fuential. who are with the cause OF the
Fstherland.
Deutschland Closely Watched.
The close watch kept on their move
ments and also upon the action OF rep
resentatives Of the Eastern Forwarding
Company are irritating 10 the Deutsch-
land men. II has developed that
force of strangers has been keeping
watch. The men, il is said, are IN the
employ Of the Allies, and are TO report
on the movements Of the submarine.
Others are stationed at strategic points
all down the bay to the Capes, and so
placed that the Deutschland can make
few moves without discovery.
Il will be only a question OF short
time after she moves that a fash Will
be sent out, 10 be later relayed 70 the !
patrol boats off Cape Henry and Cape
Charles.
Captain Koenig and perhaps two or
three others directly interested IN the
success Of the Deutschland's departure
know this. and II accounts for the
great secrecy the local German agents
have thrown about the vessel. Captain
Zach Cullison of the tug Timmins IS
on duty aboard the tug again. He has
spent four or five days around Nor
folk. Newport News, Cape Charles and
the vicinity of the Capes generally,
getting lines on the probable number
Of British and French warships of the
Canes and their approximate distances
beyond the international boundary.
Won't Dive in River.
There is plenty of evidence that
CAPTAIN Koenig has finished his bust
ness in Baltimore and is thinking
chiefly of his departure, however much
mystery may surround the exact day
and hour of sailing. Officers and crew
remain aboard the Deutschland or the
big interned German steamer Neckar.
That there is not the slightest
chance of the under-sea freighter div +
ing before it leaves the Patapsco River
is the opinion of old mariners along ;
the waterfront. who pointed out this
morning that such course would be 4
hazardous in the extreme. OF course,
there will be a Chesapeake pilot on !
board, but he would not be familiar
with submarine guidance. and the risks
would be great Once out of the river,
there are plenty of places off the east
ern shore of the bay where Koenig
could dive.
More provisions and barrels of beer
were slowed to-day.
Mysterious Charts Appear.
William Prusse, constructor, who
had charge of the building of the
Deutschland and who came TO Balti-
more on the boat as super cargo, has
been busy for several days in an Office
at the pier, where he has had before
him numerous charts and papers, about
the contents of which there has been
great deal of mystery.
The submarine constructor takes or
ders from nobody and talks only 10
Captain Frederick Hinsch. command
er of the Neckar, and Captain koenig.
Prusse cannot speak English. II is
said he will remain in America TO look
after the construction interests of the
owners of the Deutschland.
Paul G. l.. HilHen. who has been
managing the land affairs OF the
Deutschland. is still out of the city. lt
is hinted that when the expected arri-
val Of the Bremen occurs Hilken will
be on hand 10 greet her on her first
