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. Some

of the sailors jumped Into the sea and
were screaming and swimming wildly when
German bluejackets picked them up. 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

not know at that time that It wan the In

26,000 Men Join War
Against Motor Wear and Friction
Endurance Proved by
Hudson Super-Six
Let us not confuse the issues which stand uppermost today
It is not speed, not power, not hill-climbing ability which make the
l hough it holds those stocK-car records.
fact that those records were won against Sixes, Eights and
friction in the motor.
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.
