has wrought such damage to allied
shipping in Atlantic waters.. The
captain or th captured British steam
er Netherby Hall, among those land
ed at Peraambuco from the' German
prise ship Hudson Mam. was au
thority for this statement today.
There are three submarines tar
ried by, the raider," , he said in an
interview at Pernambuco. ' "They
are capable of operation over a small
radios and are equipped with tor
pedoes, dynamite and ammunition."
Such additional details as these.
indicating the typical German
thoroughness with which th raider
was prepared and equipped, led ship
ping circles to predict a long chsse
by allied warships before th sea
scourge is cornered. Certainly she
has not been definitely located to

the German raider yet given was re
vealed by the captain of ths Netber-
by Hall In dispatches from Pernam
buco.
"I began calling for help by wire-
lees the moment I sighted the raid
er," he said. " I kept this tut until
a-shot across the bows of my ship
showed it was useless for, me to try
to' escape. The raider was equipped '
with several machine cuna In addi

carried three submarines about sis
meters (18.74 feet) long, caoeble of
being operated over a small radius
and equipped with torpedoea, dyne- '
mite and ammunition. - r
"I would put the raider's speed
st 22 knots snd shs always traveled
at top speed during ths day time.
At night she slowed up, but her ea
glne room crew was always held In
readiness to Jam on her full speed." "
Additional description from th
captain of the Radnorshire today '
gave these new details of his ex

"Another ship waa constantly with

" 'I am delighted that you did sot
resist .us,' he told me, 'otherwise, I '
would have been compelled to shoot
you and your ship to pieces.'
"Immediately after our capture
this commander told me he expected
the captured Hudson Mam within
a few day and would put prisoners
aboard her. Questioning ms about
the whereabouts of the steamship
