^ i CRUISER ' KRON^HIHJt - WlLHELM 8EEK3SANCTUARY AT NEWPORT NEWS. CREW IS NEAR STARVATION 8!xty-Slx of Her Sailors III After Be­ ing at Sea 255 Days--Chased Three Times by British Cruisers--Fifteen Vessels 8ent to Bottom by Warship. Newport News, Va., April 13.--Last of Germany's sea raiders, the Kron- prlnz Wilhelm, Bcourge swept, her crew facing starvation, her bunkers empty, barred from New York harbor by the perpetual guard of British cruisers, sought sanctuary here on Sunday. The auxiliary cruiser had been at sea 255 days, during which time she sank 15 merchantmen. Twelve of these were British, two French and one Norwegian. Her last victims were the British royal mall steam­ ship Tamar and the British steamer Daleby. Commander Thierfeldt on his ar­ rival in port explained that his ship was badly in need of repairs. Her bottom, he said, was foul and her boilers needed overhauling. He stated that he would request permission to have the repairs made here. The sinking of the Norwegian sail­ ing ship Samantha, the only neutral vessel sent down by the Kronprinz, was almost a duplication of the sink­ ing of the American bark William P. Frye by the Prinz Eitel, her sister raider. Asked why he sank the Nor­ wegian vessel. Commander Thierfeldt said: "She was carrying contraband of war. She had a cargo of wheat which I believed was intended for the use of the British army and navy." The big liner, 613 feet in length and of 14,700 tons displacement,, steamed majestically up Hampton Roads early Sunday morning and was directed by the United States submarine 6-1 to an anchorage off the plant of the New­ port News Shipbuilding and Drydock company. Collector of Customs Norman R. Hamilton immediately boarded the vessel and held an extended confer ence with Commander Thierfeldt Commander Thierfeldt gave a brief but graphic description of his voyage to Dr. Hal McCafferty, United States quarantine officer at Old Point. "We were chased by British cruis- •ers three times," said Commander Tbierfeldt, "but were fortunate enough to escape each time, although some of the escapes were too close for com­ fort "Since leaving New York 255 days ago we have touched at no port For weeks we were forced to eat rice to live, and that is responsible for the sixty-six cases of illness aboard. The men are suffering from beri beri. "After a while, though, we captured and sank a French steamer and got provisions and stores which lasted us a long time. Among them were ten thousand bags of coffee." BELGIAN flELIEF SHIP SUNK Steamer Harpalyce Lost in the North Sea 26 of Crew Missing--Had Discharged Its Cargo. - Rotterdam, April 13.--The Britffch cteamer Harpalyce, the first relief boat of New York state and under charter to the commission for relief in Belgium, has either been torpedoed or sunk by a mine in the North sea.

Before leaving Rotterdam it was obliged to give up its safe conduct and its Red Cross symbols, so that it was subject to the same risks as any other ship after it had finished its work for the commission.
