Kimbley of San Francisco who was one of three Americans on board at Dr. Kimbley arrived on the eamship Ryndam from Rotterdam. “We were about three hours from Flushing,” said Dr. Kimbley, “when a German airplane marked with a big black cross appeared and circled The airplane discharged a couple of smoke rockets, and then soon after a big gray submarine arose less than a hundred yards off our The submarine signalled to the captain of the Koningen Regen- tes to stop and notified him that he and proceed to Zeebrugge. Our captain, however, protested, and managed to send a wireless message to Flushing, which answered by the appearance after of two Dutch destroy- ers. With the appearance of the lat- ter vessels there also came a second German submarine and for a time it looked as if there might be an en- counter between the two forces.

Tt was evident that many of the men passengers had papers they did not wish to fall into German hands, for almost simultan- cously with the appearance of the U-boat they began to throw packages overboard, several of which were picked up by the submarines and air- ships, and by two German destroyers which also came out to meet us. “The submarine captain who came aboard our ship was, with his officers, evidently half starved, judging by the way they ate and drank. The first night aboard the captain, while at the table, talked more than he evi- dently intended. He made the fol- Jowing remark to me and to the cap- tain of our ship: “The submarine fleet of Germany has been given general orders to sink every ship bound for American ports, regardless of nationality if it has con- traband aboard. The orders, however, have been temporarily suspended.” Dr. mbley said that while in Ger- man hands the Americans suffered se- vere privations. ARMS CO.
