New York. The interned Prussian
gunboat Geier, which was reported in
recent dispatches to have been dis
nbled at her pier In Honolulu. at the
outbreak of war in 1914 was cruising
in the Pacific and while en- route to the
California coast WIS pursued by three
Japanese arfnored cruisers. In order
to escape, the German ship made her
way into Honolulu, but finding that
the japanese maintained blockade off
the Hawaiian port the Geier interned.
As precautionary measure. it is said.
the breech blocks of the Geier's guns
were removed and sent ashore, as were
also the main crankshafts and cylin-
der heads.
During the Spanish h-American war
the Geier sprang into prominence By an
attempt to demonstrate the Ineffective
ness Of the American blockade upon
Havana. The Geier had obtained per-
mission TO pass through the American
blockade at an early period OF the war,
IA. a time when strong American
naval force was present before the Gu
ban port, and she remained in Havana
until only i few. lightly armed cutters
and converted lighthouse tenders were
on guard, the heavy ships having been
wfIhdrawn under Admiral Sampson to
the eastward.
