steamer which anchored of the berth
of the merchant submarine Deutschland
gave officials Of the Eastern Forward
ing Company considerable worry to-
night. The British vessel is in a posi-
ton to observe any movement of the
submarine.
There was a touch of the dramatic in
the manner in which the black hulled
British freighter swung into her moor
ings this morning within sight of the
barges which screen the Deutschland
from view. When Captain Koenig and
his crew of twenty-nine swing into the
waters of the Patapsco and start on
the voyage which they hope will take
them to Bremen they will have to pass
in full view of the Britishers.
None of those associated with the
submarine will say anything about the
presence of the English ship. Henry
G. Hilken merely laughed and said:
81 guess I'll have to send out spy, !"
when his attention was called to it this
morning.
Both the Deutschland and the British
ship carry wireless, but neither is per-
mitted to send messages while in port.
The range of the Deutschland wireless
for receiving is 200 miles, for sending
100 miles. That of the Britisher is
greater, because her wireless is much
higher above the water than is the
Deutschlsnd's.
Either ship may receive messages
while here. But the United States gov
eminent is probably taking good care
to see that the freighter, even if she
might be so disposed, does not send
any announcement of the departure Of
the Deutschland which might be re-
ceived by the Allied cruisers out in
the Atlantic.
Captain Paul Koenig and the other
officers of the undersea liner Deutsch-
land put on their uniforms to-day and
the crew their oilskins and the cap
tain announced that he would not
leave his vessel again. The dining and
winning is ended, and none of the Off
GERS will accept any invitations. They
are ready for the word to 60.
Captain Koenig told the customs Off
Gals on his arrival here that he would
not be in port more than ten days. This
is the tenth day.
Captain Studies Charts.
For several hours Captain Koenig
studied the charts of the Patapsco
River and Chesapeake Bay with Cap
tain Frederick Hinsch, commander OF
the North German Lloyd Neckar. The
two mariners were closeted together In
Captain Hinsch's Office on the subma-
rine's pier. When Captain Koenlg went
back aboard his craft he took with him
a duplicate manifest of the ships cargo
Another copy was ready to be sent To
the Custom House.
when will you say farewell to your
friends and agents here!" the COM
mander was asked.
"Oh. that can be arranged without
any difficulty; that Is not very I'M
portant detail, is it?" and Captain
Koenig indicated that he was thinking
more of the perilous voyoge before him
than of saying goodby.
There was a notable decrease in the
amount Of things in large bulk going
aboard the submarine to-day. and a
noticeable increase in the arrival at
the pier of things in small packages
and shoe boxes. things apparently for
the personal comfort of the men and
likely TO be taken on at the last minute.
Collector of the Port Ryan said that
the Deutschland had not notified him
of its desire to clear. and that he did
rot know anything about the manifest
But it is unlikely that the Collector
will give any advance information
about the Deutschland when she is
ready to go.
Direct Dash Not Expected.
In normal circumstances the Collec-
tor may clear the ship after the regu-
lar hours for closing business and de-
Law news of the departure OF the
Deutschland long enough to let her
leave the harbor before announcement
is made that she is ready. Because the
case is one in which the Federal Gov
eminent desires to give the Deutsch-
land every advantage it can without
violating the rules for neutral conduct
the Collector probably will keep silent
Few of those familiar with the stu
alton expect Captain koenig to make
dash from Baltimore direct for Bremen
He cannot leave Baltimore without
being seen as he goes, and 1t would b'
easy to time his arrival at the Cape'
and give the Allied warships there al
opportunity TO focus their energies OF
him.
II is expected that he will go TO Nor
