British Governor on Board.

Among the passengers were reported
to be Sir f. Nj. Meriweather, governor
of British Sierra Leone, and his wife.
The civilians in the crew will probab-
ly be permitted to depart, but the vessel
undoubtedly will be interned as a man
of war by reason of her armed nature
and her capture of prizes en- route.
Details of the capture and flight, OF
how the prize crew guarded those
aboard and navigated the vessel have
not yet been learned.
The exploit of the Appam recalled the
adventures of the German commerce
raiders Prinz Eitel Friedrich and Kron
Prinz Wilhelm, now interned here.
Washington officials have been asked
for decision as to interment of the
Appam.
The fact that an Appam lifeboat had
been found was explained here ON the
ground that presumably the prize crew
east it overheard to create the impress
sion that the vessel had foundered.
While the prize crew refused to tell
the name or the nature of the vessel
that captured the Appam, passengers
said that it was an armed merchant
man, instead of a submarine, as at first
reported to officials.
They said the merchantmen attacked
the Appam January 10 off the Canary
Island. The attacking ship then disap.
peared after putting a prize crew in
charge, under the direction of Lieuten-
ant Oscar Berg.
Bloody Fighting on Deck.
The raider appeared near the Appam
in the early morning and fired several
shots across the bow of the Appam, the
passengers said. The Appam officers
and crew, thought the assault came
from pirate and thereupon attempted
to repel the raider, but the two Appam
guns proved unequal to the task
Both the Appam and the attacking
ship lowered lifeboats simultaneously.
Some of the Appam crew sought to es-
cape, while the stranger sent prize
crew aboard. The Appam's s boat was
crushed between the two vessels, and
presumably it was the wreck of this
which gave rise to the Liverpool report
that the ship had been abandoned and
sunk at sea.
Bloody fighting resulted ON the decks
of the Appam, as the prize crew
scrambled aboard her. Several persons
were injured and two died later, while
others are expected to die.
Commander Harrison, seeing the fu.
tility of further resistance, surrendered
TO the Teutons, who at once took charge
of the vessel and headed her for Amer.
ica.
Berg explained that he and his picked
prize crew of % headed into Norfolk
because they were "sure of decent
treatment here"
The raider disappeared after placing
on the Appam a number of prizes she
had taken from seven different British
ships. It is believed she is now continu.
