Newport News, Va, August 22.-Capt.
G. c. Olesen Of the Norwegian steamer
ALI, which arrived here today, stated
that on August 6 he passed the German

submerged but soon emerged to the sur
face again.
The ALT was five days out from Della

making. The Deutschland left the Vir-
ginia Capes on August 2, and was report
ed to have reached Bremen on August IS.
