VICTIM OF GERMAN RAIDER.
STRANDED OFF JUTLAND,
COPENHAGEN, Feb. 27,
The Igotzmendi is aground near the Skaw. She carried a crew of forty Spaniards, and, besides the original passengers, a Gorman prize crew and 100 prisoners. The latter represent the crews of ten vessels sunk by the Wolff, and include Englishmen, Australians, New Zealanders, Americans, Chinese, Japanese, and Scandinavians. Lighthouse keepers brought the 400 prisoners ashore.
The Germans have’ thus far refused to leave the steamer, which is hard aground and probably unfloatable. The German sub-commander came ashore and was interned, despite angry protests.
According to the sailors, the Wolf captured the Igotzmendi in the Indian Gulf two months ago, and placed a prize crew on board. Since then the Igotzmendi followed the Wolff, assisting in all her maraudings. Nobody was allowed to leave the vessel during the whole period.
