Submarine Liner Reaches Home Port After Voyage of Nineteen Days.
Berlin. Dec. 11. by Wireless.-The German commercial submarine Deutschland, completing a quick trip home from the United States, arrived at noon Sunday off the mouth of the Weser.
The arrival of the Deutschland at a German port marks the successful completion of the second round trip of this commercial undersea boat to the United States.
On her voyage just finished she made the passage in nineteen days, having left New London on Nov. 21. This bettered considerably the record for her previous eastward trip, which, starting from Baltimore, took her twenty-three days.
Her two westward voyages occupied respectively sixteen days and twenty-one days. A sister ship, the Bremen, was lost on her first voyage.
Will Start Back at Once.
New London, Conn., Dec. 11.-The Deutschland will make another trip to this port within the next few weeks, Paul G. L. Hilken, vice president of the Eastern Forwarding company. American agents for the undersea craft, said.
He added that the submersible would make regular trips so long as the war continued.
Mr. Hilken said the cargo taken to Germany by the submarine was valued at $2,000,000. Several carloads of tin have arrived at the docks here, and shipments of crude rubber are expected this week. Stevedores have been ordered to report early in January.
