British Sank Tanker
After Crew Fired Her,
U. ). Officer Says
Dutch Pursuing Rhein
Saved Crew, American
Eyewitness Reveals

BY the Associated Press.
KEY WEST, Fla, Dec. IA
United States naval officers eye
witness account of the sinking of
the German ship Rhein shed new
light today on the fate of the tanker
intercepted by Dutch and British
Warships in the American neutrality
zone.
Shells fired broadside from the
British cruiser Caradoc, the officer
said, sent the Rhein to the bottom
after flames started by her German
crew had ragged for Is hours.
The British Admiralty previously
reported the crew of the Dutch train
ing ship Van Kingsbergen had put
out the fire and taken the tanker
as prize of war.
The United States officer who
asked that his name not be used,
was aboard the destroyer MacLeish,
flagship of the Key West neutrality
feet.
Crew Abandoned Ship.
He reported the American ship
arrived on the scene in time for
those on board to see the Dutch
warship close behind the Rhein.
Suddenly flames shot from
forward and stern and the German
ship was a blazing inferno" he
continued. 'Lifeboats were lowered
= and the crew abandoned ship"
SsThe Dutch crew bordered the
Rhein, he said, but they did not
remain on board long as they realized
that it was impossible to extinguish
the fire" The Dutch rescued the
German crew, later transferred them
to the British cruiser Caradoc.
The Rhein was fired at 1:30 am.
Wednesday, the officer related, and
burned until 4:30 pm. when shots
from the cruiser sent her to the
bottom.
Sailor Describes Burning Ship.
Daniel F. Hagerty, mate on the
steamship Comol Rico, said at New
Orleans that he saw the burning
vessel while his ship was en- route
to New Orleans from Cuba
He said it was only 81 miles from
the Tortugas Light, at the tip of the
Florida Keys.
The water, Mr.. Hagerty said, was
heated by the burning ship and
vapor was rising along the path the
crippled ship had made"
All plates on the Rheims starboard
side were buckled from the intense
heat and some of the plates were

gets lien on the crop.
