COPENHAGEN, January 30
Twenty-six Swedish, Norwegian and American seamen belonging to the crew of the Yarrowdale have arrived after a month’s internment at Neustriditz. They describe the new raider as a 12,000 tonner, and so excellently disguised that it is impossible to discover anything extraordinary about her until her ports are opened, disclosing her guns. She often carries sails, thus hiding the deck, and is armed with four large and two smaller guns and four torpedo tubes, and is munitioned and provisioned with sufficient to keep her at sea until April. The ship is quite new and bears the name of '“Moewe.” She frequently feigns distress. The Y'arrowdale was brought to Germany around the Faroe Islands, along the Norwegian coast to Skan, and thence through the Kattegat Sound to Swlnemunde.
