GERMANS PUNISH CAPTAIN
FOR ATTACKING DIVER
I
> Pacific News Service.
IIIOItl.IN, July 8. Details of the
executive of Captain Hyatt of the
British steamer Brussels, which took
place several days ago after a mili
tary court martial, were given out
today. The government statement de
clares that the British master was
convicted of a hostile act against the
naval forces of Uermany through
haying attempted to ram a (lerman
submarine in the North sea some time
ago.
The at tempt "failed owing to (illicit j
action on the part of tin submarine
commander and the British ship made
its escape. Captain Byatt was later
awarded a gold watch for his action
by the British admiralty although the
reward was not made officially. At a
later period the captain was captured
by a (lerman diver after his vessel
had been sunk and was brought to
C.ermany and Inter tried, convicted
of a hostile act, and excuted as a
warning against future attempts of a
like nature on the part of merchant
ship masters. The statement declares
that aside from the sinking of their
ships, which is considered a legit i
mate act of war, the German com
manders in no other manner molest
the officers and crews of enemy ves
sels. An attempt to ram a subma
rine must, however, be looked Upon
as a distinctly hostile action anil Mill
be punished accordingly in the event
of the officers giving the ordei being
captured.
Ryatt Execution Arouses British In
dignation.
LONDON, duly L’8. The Berlin an
nouncement of the execution of Oapl.
d. K. Ityatt, master of the British
steamer Brussels, by the German au
thorities has created widespread in
dignation and several of the newspa
pers are pressing for reprisals. It is
considered that the execution of a ship
master on a charge of attempting to
rant a submarine is in defiance of all
military and naval practice and ethics
and is no more'reprehensible than the
common practice of the German sub
marine commanders In attacking ships
tin warmed.
