Captain Thlerldhens requested the Washlng ton government to furntoh a patrol for the pier which hie ship occupies and marines were sent from the Nor folk Nary Yard for this duty. Ap proaches to the pier from the river front as well as from land entrances to the yards were eff*<ctlrely barred Particular ordera were Issued by officials of the *hlp yard to all guards to permit no newspaper man . to enter the shipyard. EfTorts to fain admission to the yards even be fore dark were unavailing, and no tice was given that it would bey use toes to appeal to shipyard officials for permission to enter the yards Attempts to get near the pier by launch In the Jamee river aleo was frustrated. Coaling the rihlp was ho^gun about Ave o'clock In the afternoon. Af the first sacks were ho toted from the bergee, the ship's hand struck up a German national air and at fre quent Intervals until a late hour the hard working eallora labored to pa- 1 trtotlc musical accompaniments. At the rate the ship was being ooaJed U was estimated that the supply al lowed to the German commander by the American government would be 1n thiv vessel's bunkers before morning.

Scores of rumors were circulate' from as many source a* to the future course of the Bltel** commander, but s r<^>ort given con siderable credence late tonight was that the German captain had a-vked for a pUlot. One report was that be wlahed to have bis ship piloted to the Norfolk Navy Yard to be intern ed under the neutrality laws of na tions.
