The Cecilie dropped anchor here at 6 o'clock this morning after a forced run of four days, her officers fearing capture. With a cargo of ten millions in gold and a million in silver consigned to French and English harbors, with an estimated value of over live millions in herself, the Kronprinzessin Cecilie lias constituted proD&bly the llnest sea prize ever open to capture. She crept along the Maine coast and into the harbor under the cover of night. Every porthole was blanketed with canvas so that not a gleam of light betrayed here whereabouts. Her V'-ur stacks had been tipped with black paint so that she resembled an Eng lish steamship. Capture Was Close At one time capture seemed immi nent. Captain Charles Polack report ed on Sunday that he had intercepted a wireless message from one French vessel to another giving warning of the Cecille's proximity, but under a fog she escaped.

[Continued on Page 12] Offices Did Not Know Liner's Whereabouts By Associated Press New York, Aug. 4. —The Kron prinzessin Cectlie is the finest ship of the North German Lloyd fleet. News of her safe arrival at Bar Harbor was received at the line offices here in a telegram from Captain I'olack. Until his message was received the line was apparently in the dark as to the ves sel's movements since steaming out of New York harbor. The gold aboard the vessel, more than ten million dollars, was consigned by.New York bankers to London and Paris. Officers of one of the great in ternational banks concerned said to day that the metal would now prob ably be landed at Bar Harbor and returned to New York by express. Officials of the line said the Cecilie had not been ordered back to port from this side of the Atlantic and that if any instructions hi.d been re ceived by Captain Polack they must have come from Bremen. Officials of one of the big banks here which was shipping more than $3,000,000 in gold on the liner, ex pressed great disappointment over her return. Some of them said frankly that they would have been glad if the vessel had been captured by the French. In such an event, they thought, the French captors would hnve seen to it that the metal reached its destination. Arrangements were being made to-day for the return of the gold to New York. Apparently all efforts to have It shipped on any other i vessel have been abandoned.
