WANDERINGS OF NAZI STEAMER
United Pres® Association —By Elertrte Telegraph —Copyright (Received December 18, 11.50 p.m.) LONDON, December 18. The German radio told a remarkable story of the wanderings of the Erlangen, of GlOl tons, which quitted New Zealand for Australia late in August. When th? captain learned of the outbreak of war he headed for South America and hid for a month at an uninhabited Pacific island while the crew felled 400 tons of firewood for fuel. Even this was not sufficient and so sails were made from tarpaulins and were hoisted. Th? Erlangen reached a Chilean port on December 12.
