[ AMERICAN SAILOR RETURNS—
1 GIVES DETAILS OF HIS
i EXPERIENCE.
| NEW YORK. April 10.—The In
| i»rrationa! News Service here gives
[ the astounding story of the returr
[ of the German raider Moewc to b'l
borne porwAVilhelmshaven. The storj
l *»s» to;d ly one JohnBivno.in, oJ
S uth l'«"v*jfnce. .1. I., an Ameri
‘ .'an saiio ai«ii follow.:
On the —*th of last October, ir
Hull. England, I signed, aboard th<
Saxon Prince. She was a cargx
steamer of 3,47r net tonnage.
Cf course there *' .« ! u 1 tall
cf i abruarite. and a «cs. I wasn
■ »>»- r:u.-h c. j.eerihjL Having live,
through storms that snapped th,
masts off at the deck and smashec
wheel houses and rudders like egg
shells, the idea of the seas being
dangerous did not impress us sail
ormen a lot Besides, we had t,
work and the sea was the onh
trade we knew.
Well, the Saxon Prince took or
steel rails and fittings and sailed
from London for Buenos Ayres.
Three weeks later we arrived ir
Buenos Avres. discharged, and took
^on a light cargo of hides and cattle
products for Santos and Rio de
Janeiro—Brasilian ports. In Bra-:’
We loaded with coffee for New
Orleans, and in New Orleans we
switched to grain and cotton. It
was about the 4th of February that
we left New Orleans for Hull.
W'e were a mixed crew—four or
five Americans and the rest Scan
dinavians — thirty-three of us In
all, including Captain James Jame
son. one of the whitest men that
ever drew breath.
There was one fellow though—
Johasnsen—that wasn't Lked. He
was a Norwegian. He never said
anything we could find fault with.
He was a good sailor but wasn’t
popular. Johannsen knew too much
German and too much about Ger
many to suit some of us.
About 6:4-5 on the morning of the
25th of February we were hailed
' by a German vessel. She came to
| ward us until there wasn’t only
about 3©0 feet of water between us.
A couple of her guns spit at us
and we prepared to drop the boats.
I was doing the four-to-eight
watch below. We got the word that
a rasder had us and that it was
every man for himself. Well, by
the time we got the boats ready
the Germans were coming toward
us in their small boats. They took
us -off and let us stand on the deck
of their raider so that we could
see how they did it.
They planted one of their bombs
on the port side forward and an
other forward on the starboard.
They planted another aft near
number three hatch. They touched
them off and in thirty minutes the
Saxon Prince disappeared with her
nose in the air. It was as neat a
P-oce of business as I have ever
sees.
Now. mind you, we were only 700
mites west of Ireland. Those Ger
mans were about as much worried
as if their little raider was the
only ship in the world that mount
ed guns. They talked about re
| turning to W'ilheimshaven with the
air of men who didn’t know that
there as a British fleet.
They let us look the ship over.
I learned, first of all, that she was
the Pen Wing, one of twin cargo
ships built near Bremen for the
west coast fruit trade. She had
never made her first trip to the
fruit ports. She was finished just
before the war started. They im
mediately fitted her up with guns
and sent her out as a commerce
destroyer.
Bat I’m ahead of my story- The
thing that impressed me most was
the utter lack of secrecy. They
told us that we were the sixteenth
boat they had sunk. They even
told us they expected that their
cruise would go a long way toward
belittling the strength of the Brit
ish on the season.
Under the forcastle head she
mounted two 6-inch gun3. The
forcastle head wag false. The guns
were hidden by steel plates that
dropped down and left the guns
clear.
Abaft the forcastle head she
mounted two more 6-inch guns. I
nad never seen or heard of guns
like these. They could be collapsed
teiescope-like. Abeam No. 2 hatch
forward of the bride—there were
two torpedo tubes, one on each side.
There was provision, for six torpe
does near each tube. Then on the
after end, abaft the mainmast and
No. 4 batch, the raider carried two
more guns. I don’t know whether
they were four or six Inch.
In her hold she carried a num
ber of tfueer looking mines. These
mines were long, narrow affairs.
Each was equipped with a fake
periscope. This attachment looked
exactly like the periscope that a
submarine carried.
With her guns hidden and her
tank filled so that sh^ lay low In
the water like a heavily cargoed
ship, she ran northeast until she
sighted the Lizard, She was in
* plain view of Great Britain and
1 • did not entertain a fear,
j They backed a half dozen of their
peri scoped mines out of tiie hold
and placet! them overboard. The
British Admiralty, you know, has
issued orders to all British ships
to run down any German submarine
; providing the German submarine
j doesn't get the Britisher first.
Well, all of that mine that we
i could see as they planted her in
I the water was the fake periscope.
On theW.ice of things there was
| nothing to indicate that it was
| anything but a submarine. They
j told me that they had planted a
* dozen or so around Ireland. I am
S still wondering whether any mis
| guided British steamer or warship
ran down one of those periscopes.
If they did—good night!
One of the finest men I have
ever met was captain of the Pen
Wing. Count Dohna-Sehlodein. The
cruise of the Pen Wing, or Moo we.
as you knew her. speaks for his
daring and ability. But he was
very humane, very white and very
kind to us neutrals. They fed us
well and gave us comfortable quar
tens.
The day they planted the mines
off the Lizard I got a jolt. Our
friend Johannsen was on the bridge
with the captain. ' Of course. T
don't know what he said. But there
was Johannsen—supposedly a neu
tral.
That night the attitude of the
crew changed. A guard with fixed
bayonets took us in charge. We
were told that the Pen Wing was
going to go northward and back
to Wilhemshaven. I heard it like
a man getting a death sentence.:
; Johnson, my mate, and I asked
| that we be given a small boat and ]
a few days’ rations and set adrift.
We figured that one of the British
cruisers would sight us. We knew ;
that if they did they would blow
us out of the water. We didn’t j
; like the idea of being drowned in a
5 lower hold.
They laughed at Johnson and
me. But they took us to the cap
tain. He laughed, too. He de
clared that we would be in real
j danger if set adrift and in no dan- i
ger if we did exactly what we were
told.
Well, I bid a lingering good-bye
to the sky and went below. We
were kept below until we reached
Wilhemshaven. They kept us below
S decks.
Whether she went north of Ice- j
, land or got in between Iceland and j
the Shetiands, God knows. After
ward I asked them how they did
it. They shrugged their shoulders, i
grinned and replied:
“My friend, we ran in while they
' were asleep.”
The marvelous part of this is that
the Pen Wing’s boilers were in- i
crusted and her machinery needed
overhauling. She was in no shape1
for speed. If she was capable of
15 knots at her best I’m no sailor.
They marched us through Wil
helmshaven to a naval detention!
camp. Capt. Count Dahna Schlodien •
bade us a very courteous adieu and
told us Americans to give his re
gards to oar country. I heard that
he set several of the British civil
ian prisoners ashore and gave each
four or five quid to pay their pass- :
age home.
There in the detention camp I
learned more about the Pen Wing.
She had never been registered in
Lloyd’s. Her sister ship had not
been sent out. She had returned to
Wilhemshaven within two and
one-half months after she left. She
simply sailed right past the British
ships in going out. She wasn’t out
of Wilhemshaven twenty-one days
before she captured the Apr.am ;
and sent her to Norfolk.
