An enemy raider, the ' Wolf,' returned to Kiel last
Sunday after a fifteen months' cruise in the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans, bringing four hundred prisoners and a cargo of booty. She is presumed by the Admiralty to have sunk five British steamers, one Japanese steamer, and four sailing vessels, which have long been posted as missing. One British steamer, the Tturitella,' was captured by the Wolf ' a. year ago and fitted as a mine-layer ; she was caught by a British warship in the Gulf of Aden and sunk by her prize crew. A Spanish collier, the Igotz Mendi,' which was captured last summer by the Wolf' and used as an auxiliary, tried to follow the Wolf' home, but ran ashore off the Skew on Monday night. The German prize crew has been interned in Den- mark, and the prisoners, mostly British, have been set free.
