crew of % men remained aboard the craft.
 Regarding his visit as a merchant man. subject to no unusual restric- tions, the skipper. whose name is said to be Captain Kairis, went up the Chesapeake without waiting to notify local customs and quarantine author ities of his presence He was five hours away before Norman Hamilton. collector of Norfolk Newport News, heard the news and started on his trail aboard the coast guard cutter Onondaga. At last reports tonight the cutter had not apprehended the submarine and it is understood that she was merely ordered out to keep the strarGe craft under surveillance as a neutrality precaution.

Stories were circulated that British or French cruisers chased her at sea Thursday but could not be confirmed.
 The boat is consigned to A. Schu- macher & Co, local agents of the | North German Lloyd line. and heI cargo to the Eastern Forwarding company, a concern said to have beer organized within the past few weeks espec ally to har'lic the business ol t:l,der- water liners. The latter com pany has pier and warehouse 1T which are stored the goods to bt loaded on the Deutschland for hel return trip.
