(JTROU oru OWN CORRESPONDENT.) LONDON, May 20. The ileewe, the notorious German raider, has arrived in tlic Firth of Forth, and has been surrendered to the naval authorities there. Her name now is Pungo—her destiny is to carry fiuit. In the winter of li) 16-17, under Count Dolma Schlodien, the }loewc left- Kiel, ran tlie North Sea blockade, and got into the Atlantic, whore she captured 15 British and several Allied ships. It is supposed that she left Kiel under the Danish flag, with a car"t> of hav that concealed her munitions. Her funnels were telescopic, she carried supplementary plates that altered the appearauce of her decks at will, and her ' 'repertoire", of national fla?s was extensive and peculiar. She got back safely to Kiel with many captured officers and sailors, and £00,000 worth of gold in bars. The Germans feted the Moewo "heroes," and the British people did not conceal admiration for the audacious exploit, for the Count appears to have treated his prisoners very well.
