GERMAN RAIDER WOLF.

COPENHAGEN, March 6.

A sailor among the Igotz Mendi’s captives states that the Wolf had four torpedo tubes and seven 9-inch guns, all hidden, so as to make the Wolf appear like a cargo steamer. She carried 500 mines. Her main object was to mine various points overseas. Captain Benson, interviewed, said the Germans desired greatly to dash homeward with the Hatchi Maru, thus securing a rich cargo of copper, tin, rubber, and tea, but they reluctantly decided to sink her, owing to lack of coal. The bread on board the Igotz Mendi was unlimited and excellent.

Donovan, a New Zealand jockey,, who -acted as baker, said the Wolf caught all the wireless messages, enabling her to avoid danger, including several armed British transports.
