CAPTAIN MAKES
A STATEMENT
NEWPORT NEWS, Va.. Marth 12.1
- "I can say positively that the Prinz..
Kit bel Friedrleli never will leave this
port until the end uf the European
wur."
This declaration was made tonight
to a representative of the Associated
Press by captain il. II. Kjehuc. mas
ter of the American sailing ship Wil
liam P. Frye. which the German
raid-r destroyed In the South At
lantic ocean January 28 last.
Captain Kjehne had just conclud
ed his arduous wurk here since land
ing on American soil to tell the story
of his vessel's fate to the world laot
Wednesday. He had bade farewell to
Commander Thierichens. of the Gcr
utan cruiser, hud paid off his ? raw
and was leaving fus- Washington to
reveal the details of hi; snip's ?le
st ruct lull directly to heads or the
government.
Why do yon make such a positive
statement?" the American captain
was asked.
Notwithstanding this the comman
der or the Eithel Friedrich tonight
reit era'cd his insisting that it is his
purpose to leave American waters us
soon n.i possible.
Itegarding the reasons tor the sink- !
ing by the German cruiser of the
American shin Frye. it was reported
tonigilt that officers of the convert
ed cruiser reached a decision after
finding in the Frye's papers u record
tliaj the ship with its cargo or wheat
was bound for "Queenstown, Fal
lu nut h or Plymouth for orders." Fu
der the British proclamation on con
traband. It was pointed out. that
foodstuffs were classed as condition
al contraband if consigned to a for-j
tilled port.
Ships Tactics Changed.
Captain Kjehne also threw a?]dl
llonul light tonight on the cotuiiiK of
the Eithel Friedrich to this Ameri
can port and insisted that the Ger
uiun commander did not choose New
port News hazurdly as a port of sure
ty.
"After February 20." said the cap
lain, "the Germans entirely changed
their tactics. I'p to that time, when
ever a smoke smudge was sighted,
there was a cry of 'alarm, alarm.'
Every man was ordered to the guns
and the ship sailed straight for the
smoke. After the sinking of the
Willerby, there was a change.
"From then on the Frtardrich ran
from everything. On this last three
night3 I knew that the olhcers were
getting the wireless from British
cruisers. On the last two nights be
fore passing into the Virginia capes
the order to the crew was. 'Every
I body to the gun3; nobody to sleep."
On the lu.3t night two of the British
cruisers were within ten miles of us."
Captain Kjehne said that several
of the German officers asked him 10
or 12 days ago if he knew where they
were going to land.
"1 told them I knew they were go
ing to Newport News, whero they
cuuld find a good shipyard," saht
Kichne. .,.
"They they asked me what I con
sidered tne best ?:ourse to follow to
CEcape detention. I told them to hang
to the longitude.-right up and then
to strike due westerly Into the coast.
That is exactly what they did."
Some Refuse Pay.
Two of Captain Kyehne'a crew re
fused to accept payment today be
cause' of decision based on statutory
law, that they were entitled to wages
only until January 28, the day th.a
Frye was sunk. All other members
of the crew accepted payment under
protC3t and urged that tho German
government should pay them for 43
Jays spent on board the raider.
But despite their shortage of pay.
the crew of the Fryo tontgh' de
monstrated their reciprocity by
sending "with their compliments ' to
the German cruiser eight kegs of
beer for the crew and cigars for
the officers mess.
