Corsair Probably Trying to Get rk' Back to German Port COPKNHAOKN. Jan. 31. The first de tailed story of tho exploits of the fnmmis German commerce raider Moewc. on her second dash Into the Atlnntlc. has Just been given hero by Captain Andersen, of the Norweslan steamship Hnlllijerir. whose vessel was sur.k liy tho Herman "sea wolf" on December t These facts were estab lished : Klrst. That tho raider uns ically the Moewe. Second. That nn American seaman was killed oti Decsmber 6 when a. Newfound land schooner was sunk. Third, That the Voltaire was the first hip sunk by tho Moewe on her outward dash from Germany. Fourth. That the Moewe Is probably try lnff to make her way back tn her home port In Ucrmany, ns she did nfter her first destructive voyage Into the Atlantic Tho story of tho Moewe's crultc road like a chapter frm the hlstoi f the Spanish Main when the bold buccaneers of tho seventeenth century were prcyltiB upon the gold-laden galleons of Spain It wan not until Captain Anderson ar rived here with olSer i.eutrnl seamen that Jt was definitely established that the Hallbjerg was a lctlm of the Moewe "Wo left New York on November 23 with n cargo of tinned goods for Hordeaux." Captain Andersen raid. "When we wero twelve days out at sea we sighted n steam ship that appeared to be a tramp or or dinary freighter There was nothing sus picious about her and I was astonished when she signaled us to stop and broke tho German ensign at her masthead, Side boards abaft the forecastle wero let down and guns were trained upon us There was nothing to do but ttop A German officer came on board and, after an Investigation, said ho was going to sink us. I protested against this high-handed conduct, saying that my ship was neutral and that we were carrying a nonconlraband cargo. My pro tests were In vain. German small boats were sent alongsldo SV and our crew and about bOO tins were transferred to the raider. "On board tho German ship we found ninety-three men from tho British Meam ahlp Voltaire, of Liverpool, which had been sunk two days earlier. "At that time tho Moewe was plying In the north Atlantic steamship lane and was taking long chances with the British patrol fleet that was constantly combing those waters. "Two days later the Moewc sighted a schooner. She stopped on signal and tho Germans found she was carrying a cargo of dried fish from Nefoundland to Gibraltar The crew of six men was taken off and the Tessel was bent to tho bottom with a dyna mite bomb. First, however, some of th flsh was removed. MOEWE SCENTS DANOCIl -"Then came a long succession of attacks on merchant ships, and as ship after ship was sent to the bottom we began to get very crowded on the Moewe. We were al lowed some exercise on the deck, but when any suspicious-looking vessel hove In sight we had to go below, where German blue jackets with carbines threatened to shoot any ono who tried to signal. "By this time the commander of the Moewe knew that his presence on the At lantic had been discovered, for the wireless picked up warnings from warships notifying mercantile vessels to beware. "Thousands of horses and mules destined for war service In Europe were killed by the destruction of the ships on which they were being carried. AMERICAN KILLED "On the night of December C the Moewe overhauled the Canadian Pacific liner Mount Temple. A shot was fired across her bows, but she failed to halt and other shells were fired at her. It was on the Mount Temple that an American, a stoker, was killed. This ship carried 750 horses and 5000 tons of cargo. She was sunk and 107 more sea men were added to the nondescript collec tion of sailors that were gathering on the raider. 'Two days later tho British steamship King George, of London, was stopped. After her papers had bean examined her crew was ordered to go on board the Moewe and the hip's seacocks wero opened. Tho Moewe atooa by patiently for seven hours until the hip disappeared. "The next day the British steamship Cam brian Range was sent down. "On the following day, December 10, the Moewe overhauled a rich prize. This was the steamship Georglc, carrying 1200 horses and 7000 tons of cargo from Philadelphia to Brest. SAILOHfj JUMP INTO SEA "When the raider showed her guns and tho German flag the seamen evidently thought their ship was going to be sent down with out more ado and panic broke out.

One poor lad was so senred ho couldn't swim and sunk like a stone. "On tho night of December 10 a heavy gale blew up. Tho next day the weather was thick, tho wind was high and the crowded Moewc was rolled on her beam ends In the stormy Men. At the height of the storm a ship which was later Iden tified in tho Yarrowdale was sighted. The waves were too high to send a prize crew on board so the Yarrowdale was told to follow the ra'der. All .night the Moewe and her captive rolled through the dark ness and tho plunging sens. "Tho next day tho SI Theodore was spoken, but the weather was still too slormy to permit her to be boarded. She too was told to follow the Mm we That night the gato died down and on tho t,e.t day, Wednesday, German sa lora wero sent on board the two captured ships. There was a consultation among the ollleers of the Moewc and It was decided, on account of the crowded condition of the Moewe nnd the shortage of food and water. tt send most of the prisoners nnboatd the Yarrow dale. About too were tianslerred We did not know at that time that It wan the In tention of the Germans Ik tr to get the Yarrowdale back Into a German port on ac count of the i !ch inrgo she was urryiuK "The crulso of tho Yarrowdale from the South Atlantic to the North Sen was made caut ously nnd was without unj special incident " Captain Andersen said that tho prison ship reached Swedish watets mi lice minr -V.

That is why the Super-Six invention stopped the trend toward V-types. It reduced friction vastly more than they did. That is why a Six holds ruling place today. A new basic principle, patented by Hudson, removed its limitations. It was to minimize friction that V-types were considered. But in that the Super-Six outdid them. That is why it outsped any other stock car. Why it won so many hill-climbs including Pike's Peak. Why it broke all records for quick acceleration. Why it broke the 24-hour stock-car record by 52 per cent. Why it twice broke transcontinental record in one continuous 7000-mile trip. It was all motor endurance, due to friction and wear reduced to a point which no other type has approached. Now makers of Sixes point to the fact that a Six still holds first place. But the top place is held by the Hudson Super-Six. No six, eight, twelve or car of any type has equaled it in any of the things which count. It is a new type Six the Super-Six made under Hudson patents. It rules because it added 80 per cent, to old-type Six efficiency. Because it ended the Six limitations vibration, friction and wear. The One Great Question The one great question in choosing a car is this: What motor type comes nearest to elim inating friction? , That type will out-perform all others, It will wear the longest, cost the least for upkeep, waste the smaller amount of power.
