Seamen Report Good Treatment
From German Sailors and De-
scribe Method of Sinking Vessels

American and English seaman on
board the Spanish steamer Igotz Men
di, says a dispatch to the Exchange
telegraph from Copenhagen, assert
that they were captured May Fl, last,
when the Igotz Mendi was on her way
to Australia with coal. About mid
day a 5000 ton merchantmen painted
black, appeared on the horizon steam
ing slowly. Suddenly the steamer de-
tected the IgOtz Mendi and made for
her at full speed.
One of the sides of the strange
steamer was removed, displaying a
number of cannon. Several shots were
fired at the Igotz Mendi, which was
forced to stop. 1t was then discov-
cred that the strange steamer was the
German auxiliary cruiser wolf" The
Wolf hoisted a German flag and a
drive crew was sent aboard the Igotz
Mendi. "a
The next victim was the British
steamer Matunga, which had a valua-

taken aboard the Wolf and evidently
were we'll treated.
All three ships then proceeded to
desert the vicinity of the Dutch is
lands, where part of the Matunga' s
cargo was stored.
The Wolf took aboard the most
valuable portions of this cargo. The
Matunga was then sunk BY bomb.
A few days later the American bark
Beluga was sunk. Her crew was
saved
The next victim was the japanese
steamer Hitachi Maru, which was
crowded with Asiatics; the Wolf be-
ing crowded with number of pris-
oners, who were transferred to the
Igotz Mendi. A prize crew was
placed on board the Hitachie Maru
with orders to capture the coal of the
steamer. This, however they were
unable to accomplish and had to re-
turn to. the Wolf. Thereupon the
Hitachie Maru was sunk.
The Wolf was now near Australia.
and the captain decided to return to
Germany. The voyage commenced
four months ago. The route taken
was along the coasy of Africa. A
sailing vessel was fired on and sunk.
The Wolf afterwards proceeded at full
speed northward, still followed by the

the Germans was good, but that dis
comfort was caused them by vermin

cold Atlantic. When the Japanese,
Chinese and Negro sailors landed on
Danish soil there was a great demon
stration of joy, the Negroes dancing
