The British liner waa captured off the Canary Islands, according to

THRILLS IN THE HIGH SEAS
ROMANCE OF THE APPAM

Boarded by German sailors from armed merchantman ofT Canary

Forced to take aboard passengets of other vessels captured by the

Meanwhile, reported in London to have foundered in gale, or to hac

After 4200-mile dash past British patrols in the Atlantic reached
Norfolk, Va., today flying the German ling.
NORFOLK, Va., Feb. 1.
The British liner Appnm, centie of tho maritime mystery of the "lost
ship," was captured by a German sea raider off the Canary Islands.
The Appam came into Norfolk todny, flyinp; the German flap;, currying
about H00 prisoners, in charge of a German prize crew of 22 men, and
bringing a remarkable tale of tho sea. Out of a mass of conflicting stories
by passengers and officers of the Appam and the few admissions of Lieutenant
Oscar Berg, commanding the pri.e ctcw, this much of the sensational high
scas romance seems clear:
That the Appam was overwhelmed by a tinmp raider off the Cannry
Islands January 15; thut there was a fight beforo she surrendered, and that
the raider resumed her business of nttneking British merchant vessels again,
sinking at least one in view of the Appam.
The vessel sunk, by agreement of all accounts, wns an Australian
freighter, laden with meat. The freighter showed fightt and several of her
crew were injured. The German tramp put the injured aboard the Appam,
took over the cargo of meat antl steamed away, leaving the Appam to proceed
to Norfolk in charge of the prize crew.
Just how much of a fight the Appam put up before surrendering is dis
puted. Captain Hurrison says surrender was immediate, since he had only
one throe-inch gun with which to resist the raider's attack, and that it was
unmounted. Some members of the German prize crew say the British liner
opened fire in answer to the first shot across her bows. The United States
Government will have the point to settle.
The Appam passengers relate that tho raider placed 1.18 prisoners from
olhcr ships on board, and that theso prisoners' stories indicate the raider
had sunk at least seven other vessels.
The Appam is expected to go into Newport News tonight, in which case,
sinco sho seems little damaged, save for a bent plate or two, s,he must leave
soon or be interned permanently. Only 24 hours can be nllowed her in port,
unless her condition calls for repairs that will require longer. It is believed
she will intern.
There is tho widest speculation ns to the identity of the mysterious raider.
Jluny hero think it is the will-o'-the-wisp boat reported several times in tho
Gulf- of Mexico, just after the escape of the officers from the Prin Eitel
Friedrich, aboard the yacht Eclipse. It is suggested she may have picked
them up off the capes. A remark by Lieutenant Berg, prize crew commander,
ihat he had come into this port because he knew he would get decent treat'
ment strengthens this theory.
