New Tork. Feb. 5 N. &) This is the tale of the German light cruiser Ponga as much of it as will probably ever be told until the war is over. The yam was spun by Captain J. C Barton, skipper of the British freight er Corbridge, one of the Ponga's vic tims, and includes ixfth first hand knowledge-, and information based on casual remarks dropped by . the Ger man officers during the week the Brit ish mariner was prisoner aboard the cruiser. Captain Barton began the recital While the old Dominion liner Jeffer son was still Inside the capes, heading out of . Chesapeake bay, at about 2 o'clock- in the morning. Before he had finished it was late in the afternoon off the Jersey coast. - rancy Bit of Sailing Craft. If -any sea thriller from the pen of a fiction .writer exceeds in point of red hot excitement this narrative of the unimaginative British skipper, it has yet to have been published. "Oh, yes," said Captain Barton, in reply to a question, "the Ponga is a mighty fine piece of work. She ought to be. She was built to be just about tbe fanciest bit of sailing craft that ever took the water; - "They have. - printed in the papers the statement that the Ponga was built in 1814. - That s a mistake. She was laid down In 1914 after the war began but she was not finished until 1916 -December. 1916, at that. If my recol- . leetion Isn't faulty. Mow, I Know this will show itself in due course, but the fact is that this Ponga lady was built by the German admiralty for the sole purpose of running the -British black ade and . getting out into the 'open ocean aa a commerce raider. And the second fact of importance is that noth ing like ber was ever built beforfe any where In. the world. V Tbeoka X-ike Clumsy rrslgbter. "Above the waterline--inside and out she looks exacuy a fruit ship, a clumsy freighter with nothing to boast Of by way of - lines. But below tbe waterllne nothing finer ever floated. That j slow . going old -freighter can do 20 knots without half trying. With danger threatening she could, rip out another five knots.' r. w "It might v be just aa ..well for the British admiralty to-know this. If they are going to catch the Ponga they don't want to send anything after her that can't beat . 25 , knots, for .that is what they have got to beat. ? .-vv.' The Ponga is - not only a - freight transformed into, art auxiliary cruiser, sh is a made to. order' cruiser "and about as fast as, anything afloat that carries, guns.VVV-v.. - VVV-V'V Swedish " TlaaT - on Zlast Bide. -I realise I am saying a lot about a boat that X never saw until the after noon she 'sunk me,' but as my yarn gets along I have a suspicion It will disabuse any doubts on the point, v She waaAbullt ln. a German port on the- Baltic and .when she was - about finished they painted her a huff color with the Swedish flag" painted on each . side of her amidships. - In the flag locker they had every -. kind of ensigns that - are flown anywhere - in the world..

Xecrulta 2Tot Told Truth. "They" told the crews-of the Warships on which they'went in search of vol unteers that the Ponga waa a fruit trader and was' going to operate on the Baltic, Chiefly carrying- fruit from Sweden f or the impoverished tables of the Teutons' aristrocrats.. Of course it waa a risky business, even as It was told. But It was not a case of going to a foreign death.' the fact that that must be the absolutely sure finish of every last man aboard the Ponga was known to the officers only. "They all know it now but I have got to admit -that I did not see any thing that looked like funk among any of them. from oilers to gunners. You couldn't call them exactly Ughthearted, but they wnt about their work rwlth nothing to show that they knew sud den death mlgtft come up over the hor izon in the form of a British battle cruiser at any moment. . x Hum It Xepff Secret. ' "But I expect I'd better tell how I know, so much about these things. To begin with there was her name plate ' in tbe chart house It gave ber gen uine name and-tbe date 1914. But It is the custom to date the construction of a ship from the time ber keel Is laid, not when ahe . is placed In-commission. And so far as the name went it was never the intention of the Ger mans to try to keep her name a secret. She is not registered and probably never will be, . "The - Appam' s passengers are re sponsible for all this talk about her being the Meewe. Most of. the prize crew put aboard the Appam were from the Moewe. The Germans, figured that It . ever, anybody . got near - enough to read that nameplate. unless they were prisoners, It would be an armed board ing party. .' . Zen tenant's Tongue Trips.
