(Special to The Dally News<)
London, April 27.—The Case-
ment expedition was stopped by
a British patrol off the west coast
of Ireland, which ordered the
supposed Dutch trader to pro-
ceed to Queenstown harbor.
When the patrol appeared, the
crew of twenty on board of the
disguised German auxiliary cruis-
er hoisted the German flag and
scuttled the vessel.

Sir Roger Casement was placed
in a collapsible boat and left to
his fate. The patrol vessel rescued
all the Germans and took Case-
ment prisoner, The men were all
picked German naval men. The
submarine, which accompanied
the expedition, made its escape
by diving.

The cruiser carried as cargo
twenty thousand rifles, machine
guns and ammunition.
