Deutschland Slips To Sea Again; On Way Home.

The Deutschland, the German submarine which arrived in. New London on November Ist, slipped out of the harbor at an early hour this morning, bound for Bremen. She left her dock at the state pier at 1:30 o'clock and was towed down the harbor by two hugs. The Deutschland passed the United States cruiser Columbia. Several passing steamers and the Columbia turned their searchlights on the boat and blew their whistles. While the manifest of the Deutschland’s cargo has not been made public, it is estimated that its approximate value is over $2,000,000. The cargo consists largely of crude rubber, nickel, zinc and silver bars. She also carries several sacks of mail from the German embassy at Washington. Some of the mail was said to be for the German emperor.
