The quintet We're taken to the guard

When examined the three strangers

American Victims of Raider

The names of the American citizens
from the crews of sunken vessels,
brought in by the Cambronne, so far
as is known are as follows:
Roye Clark of Virginia, from the
British sailing vessel British Woman.
John Rondoni of California, from the
British Woman.
Luther Leatters of Ohio, from the
British sailing vessel Pinmore.
Ernest Ray Gilbert of Washington,
from the Pinmore.
Manuel Guerrero of Manila. (No
ship given.)
Although the survivors say that the
Germans did not mistreat them, they
report that their captors invented fan
tastic tales regarding the war to put
them out Of sorts. One of their favorite
stories was that France was about to
be overwhelmed by an avalanche OF
5000, 900 Germans. They also announc-
ed frequently that Russia had been
dismembered.
The Buenos Aires was halted just
before the fight with the Horngarth
occurred. The raider compelled the
Buenos Aires to pass back and forth
over an indicated course while the
Horngarth was being disposed of.

Germans Expected to Be Taken


For the most part the Germans COM
pensated the prisoners for their services.
A remarkable case was that of Hol-
lander. This man was assigned to work
in the galley. At the end Of his stay on
the raider his German captors handed
him $50 marks in German paper money
for his work He refused the payment
with a gesture of disdain. He was at
once arrested and is now a prisoner OF
the seeadler the only member of the
captured crews who was not given his
liberty, it is said.
Life passed pleasantly on board the
raider. the released men report. Inc
sailors had a band, which played fire.
ouentlv and enthusiastically when the
men were off duty. Their orchestra was
composed of three mandolins, three vlo-
Tins. flute and a bass drum.
The rescued men are of the opinion
that if the Germans treated their prison
ers relatively well it is largely from fear
that their own capture was ultimately
almost certain. The raider is slow. and
they expected to be overtaken at almost
any time.
Their feeling was apparently that II
the prisoners spoke well of their treat
ment the chances of the raiders crew
at the hands of possible captors would
he lust so much better Especial con-
J sheraton. absorbing TO the sailors, seem
ed to be given the Americans among the
captives on the raider.

Turned Machine Guns on Sailors


In spite Of the expressed desire of
the raiders officers not to shed blood,
the Seeadler did not hesitate to turn
loose her machine guns on the decks
and on the bridges of any vessel she
was capturing if there were signs OF
the ship not surrendering at once. In
such an action as this British sailor
was seriously wounded, his eye being
put out An operation was performed
on board the raider, but the man died
under the knife.
The daily consumption of gasoline by
the Seeadler's engines is five barrels.
She carries a supply of 1900 barrels,
the refugees report.
The French authorities here have
had the men of French nationality
among the prisoners brought in by the
Cambronne, of whom there are 1o2,
landed at Rio Janeiro. They are now
being cared for in the city.
