Drake Brings Roon Into Island Port.
English Lose One Officer and l
Eighteen Men Teuton Loss
Is One-Third of Crew
NEW YORK, Feb. 9.
Tho New York Glolje declared this afternoon that it has received a
code message from Bermuda, stating that the German warship Roon, alleged
commerce raider, has been captured by tho British battleship Drake after
a three-hour fight 200 miles cast-northeast of Bermuda.-Two merchantmen,
o.nppfjth'cm .armed', were captured "with ,tlu?ir6wi, it wns stated.
Tho Globe said it was unable to make public the source of its informa
tion, but quoted the following message said to be from Bermuda:
Drake here today towing Roon. Took her 200 knots cast-northeast
Bermuda; three hours' running fight. L,ost Danforth, 18 men.
Her losses about one-third. Struck as we came abeam. Two mer
chantmen with her, ono armed. Took both. Brought here. Sea
grave on sighting Roon said, "Please God, today I will avenge
Craddock (Admiral Graddock, vho3c squadron was destroyed by the
Germans). Roon badly knocked about by 9.2. Thirty-two officers
and 719 men taken in the three .prizes."
"Scagravc," according to the Globe, is probably Captain Seagravc, who
was with Admiral Craddock, but later was in command of the Bacchante.
"Danforth," tho Globe says, probably is a torpedo lieutenant.
Naval registers show that tho Drake, a 14,000-ton cruiser built about 15
years ago, carries as her heaviest armament two 9.2-inch guns, tho caliber
mentioned in the dispatch the Globe, says it received.
Tho Roon is ono of the Germnn warships charged with tho recent capture
of tho Appam and other British merchantmen. It displac6s 9050 tons, is 403
feet long at tho water line, has a beam of C5 leef and draws Won leet.
The Roon was built in 1903 and is n sister ship ofs,th'o.;Yorck. Its armament
consists of four 8.2-inch guns, 10 C-inch guns, 14 24-poiinders, four machino
guns and four submerged i8-inch torpedo tubes. ' i
