Rival to the Moewe.
The achievements of the German
raider rival the exploits of the raider
Moewe, which, after cruising in the
Atlantic for several weeks, returned
safely to a German port early In
March of 1916. According to an offi
cial announcement at the time she had
on board 199 prisoners and 1,000,000
marks in gold hars and had sunk IK
steamships in addition to layüip mines
which destroyed, among other vessels,
British battleship King Edward VII.
Successful raids also were made by
German cruisers Emden and Karls
ruhe, the converted merchantman
Prinz Eitel Fredrlch and the subma
rine U-5S, which, last October, sank
six merchantmen off Nantucket.

French—Nantes. Asnieres. The ves
sel« captured include the following:
British—King George, Mount Tem
ple, Géorgie, Voltaire, Yarrowdale.
Japanese—Hudson Maru.
All in South Atlantic.
All those vessels were sunk or cap
tured between Dec. 12 and Jan. 10 on
the route between the Azores and
Pernambuco, in longitude varying; be
tween 40 and 32 east, latitude between
30 north and 7 south.
The crews of the steamships sunk
rere placed on the Hudson Maru. This
essel was compelled to accompany
the raider to a point 7 degrees south
latitude, where she arrived Jan. 12.
She then received permission to go to
Pernambuco, where she arrived Mon
day with 237 men from the crews of
the vessels which were sunk. No in
formation has been received in regard
to the crews of the captured vessels.
The raider is said to be a ship of
the Moewe type.
The vessel referred to in the fore
going as the Tredegar Hall probably
is the Netherby Hall, whose sinking
by the German raider was announced
by the British admiralty. There 1s,
however, a Tredegar Hall, which was
last reported at Cardiff, Wales, on
Dec. 2. She is a vessel of 3,764 tons
gross, 342 feet long, built in 1906 and
owned in Cardiff.
