America. Eluding pursuit, the raider
Is believed to be still at work in, the
trade routes of the South Atlantic.
This new raider conducted opera-
tions in the same manner as earlier
German craft of the same kind.
whose exploits she has exceeded
Crews of sunken ships were put on
captured ships, which were told to
make for land. The first of such
ships, the Japanese Hudson Maru
put into Pernambuco and so the
presence Of the formidable German
raider became public property.
237 Survivors Landed.
Aboard the Hudson Maru were the
captains and 237 men of the crews of
vessels destroyed between December
IL and January IL. The British
steamship Yarrowdale, with 400 refu-
gees from sunken ships, has not
landed, and no word has come from
the st. Theodore, upon which a
prize crew was placed. evidently with
the intention OF sending her to port
with prisoners.
Americans were among the crews
of two of the sunken ships, the Brit
ish steamer King George and Geor-
/ gle. The sinking of one Danish and
one Norwegian ship is reported. but
by far the greater number of those
sunk were British. The total value
of vessels and cargoes may be S40,-

Identity Not Known.
The identity of the German cruiser
that has broken the British control
of the seas, as German raiders have
broken it before, is unknown. A
Buenos Aires dispatch says she is
the protected cruiser Vineta, listed
as training ship. Sailors at Per
nambuco say the ships name was
painted out, that she was dead black
and had II guns and four torpedo
/ tubes.
Domestic Ships in Danger.
