The sailors brought an account &f a hard engagement between the Moewe and the British steamer Otaki, which put up a sturdy fight when it was encountered by the German raider on, March 10. The Otaki, according to the sailors, surrendered only after scoring seven hits on the Moewe and setting tho German ralder on fire. The blaze was not extinguished for three days. Six men of the crew of the Moewe and two captive Hindus were killed during tho fight, while the Otaki lost her captain and ‘'a mate, her engineer and. two sallors. “During the engagement,” the sail- ors said, “the British prisoners on the Moewe broke in. the iron grating bar- ring the room In which they were confined, but they were overawed by sailors of the Moewe wisk hand gre- nades.” The rfeutral prisoners, who were confined in another quarter of the ship, spent an anxious time dur- ing the engagement, knowing that if the Moewe were sunk they would go down with her. One she:l penetrated the hull of the Moewe, passing barely two feet below the guarters occupled by the neutral prisoners. PRESIDENT WILSON ENDORSES FUND FOR RELIEF OF JEWS.
