 It was understood here that the battle, which occurred TOO miles 4.o. v4seast oI nere, presumably with in the American neutrality zone, had been violent and that the Carnarvon Castle had dead and wounded aboard. The British hospital was preparing to receive the wounded in case the ships Captain H. N. Handy mesSaged for reservations.
 The Carnarvon Castle formerly was a Union Castle mail and steam ship Company luxury liner operat- ing between Britain and Capetown. She was built in 1926.
 Speed of 19 Knots
 London, Dec. 7-(UP)-The Ger man sea raider which battled the British armed merchant cruiser Car narvon Castle probably was ship of 10000 to 12,0OO tons of the type of the former German prison ship Altmark, with speed of about l9 knots, naval experts said today.
 This, they said, would explain her ability to outlun the Carnarvon Castle, which had a speed of l7 knots. The admiralty had reported the German ship "steaming north ta high speed away from the scene of actfon," when the British ship gave chase.
 It was believed that the German ship was an armed merchantmen rtaher than pocket battleship and that it mounted eight 5.9-inch guns, since that was the armament known to be on a German raider operat- ing in the Atlantic six months ago. Naval authorities said it was "rea- sonable to conclude" that the Car narvon Castle mounted six-inch guns, and that the two ships being comparatively equal. the German must have had a big advantage in speed.
