She crossed the ocean in 17 days. The U-53 is a man “of war, flies the flag of the German Navy and has a single gun mounted on her deck. The submarine an- chored in the outer har- bor two miles down the bay. No one came ashore but a representative of the Associated Press was allowed to go aboard and learn the vessel’'s story. The U-53 will go outside the harbor for anchorage during the night. The U-53, in command of Lieut. Captain Hans Rose, appeared spic and span upon her arrival here and looked as if she had been out only for maneuvers. Her com- mander reported that he had not sighted any hos- tile craft on his voyage over, adding that the boat was plentifully sup- plied with provisions and fuel and that nothing would be taken aboard here. Short after the sub- mersible came in, Com- mander Rose paid an of- ficial call upon Rear Ad- moral Austin M. Knight, commandant of the Nar- rangansett Bay Naval Station to whom he stated that he was pre- pared to leave port to- night. The newspaper man who boarded the subma- rine was asked to bring ashore a large batch of {| official mail for Count Von Bernstorff, the Ger- man ambassador, and this was forwarded this afternoon. Commander Rose said | that he had a sufficient supply of food aboard to last for three months. Be- sides the commander the I| vessel carries four offi- || cers and 33 men, A F. OF L.
