crew of the captured steamer Yarrowdale, havo arrived here after a month's internment. They describe the new raider as a vessel of 12,000 tops, _so excellently disguised that it is impossible to discover anything extraordinary, until the ports are opeuTd, and disclose the guns. She often carries sails, which hide the deck. She is aimed with four large and two smaller guns, and four torpedo tubes, .and js munitioned and provisioned sufficiently to keep the sea until April. The, ship is quite new, and bears the name "Moewe." She frequently feigns distress. The STarrowdale was brought to Germany round the Faroe Islands and then along the Norwegian coast to the Skuw, then through the Kattegat and the Sound to Swinemunde.
