GERMAN RAIDER RAN OUT OF KEEL THROUGH
BRITISH BLOCKADE-26 SHIPS SUNK


The Hudson Maru came into Per-
nambuco under a German crew, with
German flag flying at her masthead.
Her commander has not yet made it
known whether he will intern with
his prize or discharge passengers
and make a dash for open sea to do
raiding himself.
The survivors on the Hudson do
not represent by a great number the
total of those aboard all the victim
ships. Fate of several hundred 9th
ers is unknown.
From stories told by survivors it
is learned that the raider left Ktel
many weeks ago. From its list Of
victims it chose the St. Theodore,
a fast boat of 5000 tons, as prison
ship for the sailors of the ships it
took. When the st. Theodore be-
came overcrowded the Hudson Maru
was also used as a prison ship.
The prison ships could not keep
up with the raider, so the Hudson
was Sent into port as prize ship.
What happened to the st. Theodore
is not known.
The raider was, at least once, in
the vicinity of a British cruiser sent
out to seek a missing ship.
Reports persist that 400 persisted
when one ship was sunk. The fate
of persons not landed at Pernam-
bucO is unknown.
Steps have been taken by the Bra
lillian government to enforce rigid
observance of neptrality.
