There were twenty-two men in the : prize crew under Lieut. Berge and I some twenty Germans on board the1 li::er -bound for prison camps in Eng- j land were pressed into service. j The capture of the Appam marked t e taking of the seventh English ves-1 sel in the period of four days, all the creraticns occurring less than 200 m les Oi'f the coact of Spain. On Jan u?ry 13th, the Dromonby, Author. J Trader and Ariadne were taken in the A lantic still further at sea and north- j ward. The day after the Appam was cap- j ti:red the raider attacked the British steamer Clan MacTavish. Accounts dif- j fer as to the distance from the Appam I hat the attack upon .the MacTavish j took <place. It is "variously estimated j at. frcm five to ten miles. The distance | not ro great, however, that flashes of fire were not visible from the liner. Only the prize crew, however, had a fair view of th# capturt. Germans Refuse to Talk. | Details of what happened still are unavailable, as the Germans refuse to 1 talk. It appears, however, that the Mao Tavish. mounting a little sixpounder on her bow, attempted resis- j tance and was subjected to a heavy | fire from the raider's bigger guns- Fifteen of her men were killed and many wounded before the merchantman went down under the fusillade. There were ;n..iarmr Avrvi^sions as. she eank. V illtOi iV* v?r.v The fate of the master of the Mac-1 Tavish is unknown, but he is believed j to be with many of his crew on board { the raider. The Appam steered close, I but was ordered back. Later four of the MacTavish's crew, three of them severely wounded, were sent aboard the liner in a small boat. Then the prize crew headed the Appam westward and proceeded in company with the so-called Moewe until the next morning. Just when rhe raider disappeared and what direction she took is unknown to the Englishmen j and there has been no word of her j since that day, January 17th. The Appam steered directly for this pert, according to the Englishmen. Tried to Keep American Officials Off. Determined efforts were made by German guards to keep United States officials off the liner while Prince von Hatzfeldt was aboard. Immigration Inspector Morton of Norfolk first! clashed wit'n the guard. Morton brushed past the sailor and climbed the companionway. A few minutes' later he was engaged in a somewhat, heated conversation with the prince,! who took nim to task for making an inspec icn of the ship yesterday dur ing Lieut. Berge's absence ashore. The ! prince indicated that he expected to 1 take the matter up with Washington ! but soon afterwards agreed that it was , not important. During iM'orton's inspection he dis- , covered the American, tTagliaferri, a | minerhwho had shipped from Seccondi 011 the Appam for Liverpool on his way home to Nevada. Tp to the time Morton appeared Tagliaferri had not 1-? ,% TX7 O C! indicated to tile uermans uia.t nc ?r^| a citizen of the United States, but he ' promptly displayed his second papers, showing full lh-dged citizenship, :o ihe inspector and u.-ked for freedom.

Prisoners Cheer. A great cheer went up from the interned prisoners when a launch came alongside and the announcement was ' made that they soon would be free. German guards made futile attempts to quiet the English subjects. "Hey, I am an American citizen; I am Theodore Baldwin and I was born | in New York," shouted one man.
