OF THE TRIP
OVER OCEAN
NEW LONDON, Conn.—Captain
Koenig, in an interview, described his
second submarine voyage across the
Atlantic somewhat as follows:
“We left Bremerhaven on Oct. 10,
in broad daylight. Heligoland and
the ships of our patrol were the last
we saw of Germany. The North sea
we ran through safely, passing be
tween Scotland and the Orkneys. Our
highest north was 59 degrees.
“We had no fear of nets in those
waters. They cannot be used with
heavy seas and strong winds. We
saw a few enemy ships, but avoided
them by submerging.
“At no time did we submarge to
lie on the bottom. The ship was kept
| moving all the time she was under
the surface.
“As we neared the land the first
thing we sighted was No Man’s
Land. I got just a glimpse of it at 3
p. m., and identified it as my true
landfall by means of my chart of
Block Island sound and its approach
es. The chart was an old one, Eng
lish—of about 1860, I should say. 1
• don’t know where it came from. It
! was pretty good, but it did not give
' the depth of water accurately.”
Captain Koenig had approached the
i coast with caution, for he knew Brit
ish patrol vessels might be on the
watch. At one point after passing
Nantucket Shoals he sighted a four
funneled steamer that he took to
be English. After watching her he
decided that she was in the passen
ger service, but, for all that, she
might, have been an auxiliary cruiser
and he gave her a wide berth.
When his landfall had been made,
Captain Koenig felt that there was
little left of the voyage’s dangers but
to make the final dash across the
three-mile limit into the security of
American waters. As soon as he had
j identified No Man’s I .and, therefore,
I he worked out a course for Block
I island, and submerged. The subma
| rine moved along steadily under the
: surface, off the Rhode Island coast,
| for three hours. When she came up
| darkness had fallen, but the light on
; Point Judith shone clear ahead and
1 those on Block island a little off the
i port bow.
It was plain sailing now and at
i reduced speed the submarine laid a
course along shore for the remaining
30 miles of her voyage. It had been
j agreed that a steamer from the
! agents should meet the boat. Every
night since September, when the
Bremen was expecieu, sucn a ooai nan
kept vigil off Watch Hill. Tuesday
night the boat on watch was reward
ed, for before midnight a signal light
was recognized from her deck as that
of a German subsea merchantman.
“We heard about the U-53 before
sailing,” said Captain lvoenig, “but
did not communicate with her on the
! voyage. We did not use our wires for
! sending at all, only for receiving, and
! we received no messages from her.
! We did not send any notice ashore
j that we were coming either, and
when we met the agent’s boat it was
without warning.”
Very interesting was the captain’s
story of what he brought on the
Deutschland. “We brought mail for
the German ambassador,” he said. “It
is of a political character, I suppose.
I don’t know about that. The mail
was dispatched to Washington. First
Officer Raphol of the Deutschland is
taking it.”
j “The Deutschland’s cargo,” stated
Captain Koenig, “weighs about 500
i tons. The heaviest single item is the
1 consignment of dyes.” Asked when
he expected to sail, he replied, “in a
fortnight.”
Captain Koenig dined with the kai
ser on August 29, at the grand head
quarters on the eastern front. He sat
beside General von Hindenburg at the
table.
Captain Koenig stated that he
I thanked the kaiser for a decoration
I previously bestowed on him, the
! knighthood cross of the Order of Ho
henzollern. Four other orders were
bestowed on him while at home from
the kings of Bavaria and Wurtem
burg, the Duke of Saxemeiningen and
• the Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha.
Coming back to the subject of neu
trality, Captain Koenig asserted that
American vessels were used in an ef
! fort to trap the Deutschlaand when she
! left Chesapeake bay on her first re
turn voyage in ugust.
“They were fishing steamers," he
I* said, “two of them. They signaled by
lights at night to the English ships
patrolling outside the three-mile limit.
I believe they also set nets for me.
How do I know they were American
vessels? How could the English get
vessels of that kind across the ocean
HERRON BOOSTS
ANCHORAGE IN
N. r. HERALD
(New York Herald.)
Charles E. Herron, who arrived yes
terday from Alaska and is stopping at
the Waldorf-Astoria, related to a Her
ald reporter a few incidents with
which the dwellers of the Northland
endeavor to fill the void caused by the
fact that they cannot vote in a presi
dential election. Although the per
sonal cxperienceof voting for the na
tion’s president is lacking, the people
of Alaska, nevertheless, are profound
ly interested in the result.
There has been a hard fought cam
paign in the territory for attorney
general, said Mr. Herron, this being
the first time such a vote has been
taken. Mr. Herron is from Juneau and
Anchorage and last night he received
a telegram from a business associate
informing him that George B. Grigs
by, democrat, has been elected attor
ney general, but that James Wicker
sham, who for twelve years has been
territorial representative in congress,
is in a closely fought fight. It was
expected, however, that returns from
niral communities would assure him
of his seat.
Mr. Herron is a mining man and
owner of the Anchorage Daily Times.
Anchorage is a government built city
and Mr. Herron says it is one of the
most remarkable municipalities on the
continent.
“Anchorage has now about seven
thousand population, although it is
just two years old,” he said. “It. has
telephones, electric lighting, water
works, concrete streets, fine sidewalks,
a twelve thousand five hundred dollar
school and a fifteen thousand dollar
hospital.
“Of course the territory is enthusi
astically for Mr. Wilson, as he is re
sponsible for the opening of the coal
fields and the building of the govern
ment railway.”
an into American waters? They were
in the bay inside the three-mile limit,
I have no doubt they were well paid
by the English.”
Asked if it was true that Germany
was building hundreds of submarines,
Captain Koenig gave an evasive an
swer, but he added that he thought
people must see that the battleship is
obsolete. The submarine, he believes
is the warship of the future. As com
mander of the submarine that sub
merges with more weight aboard than
any other vessel, he expressed the
opinion that there is virtually no limit
to the weight that may be submerged
successfully.
“The submarine is the coming naval
weapon,” he said. “There will be sub
marine armored cruisers of great size
and weight. It is but a matter of time
when the present type of warship will
become obsolete.”

He bad some money—but he had no Bank Ac
