It was not until :he passengers awoke this morning In light of green Maine hills that the liner's lestinatlon became certain. For two nights, with Its head and side Ights extinguished the Kron Prinxessln ?ecllle plunged through the fog with un leduced speed and without sounding its tishorn. For a time the protest against what the assengcrs looked on as a peril to their ives threatened to take the form of a rltten demand that he reduce the speed if the ship.

The ship remained at Its anchorage with all passengers aboard, none being allowed to depart. After the passengers lining the rail had waited several hours, great bundles of newspapers were brought cut In small boats.

NEW YORK. Aug. .-The Kron Prlnseseln Cecllle is the finest ship of the North German Lloyd fleet. News of Its safe arrival at Bar Harbor was re ceived at the line offices here In a tele gram from Captain Polack. Until his message was received the line was ap parently In the dark as to the vessel's movements since leaving New York ! harbor. The gold aboard the vessel was ! consigned by New York bankers to Lon- j don and Paris. Officers of one of the ! great International bank concerns said that the metal probably would be landed at Bar Harbor and returned to New York by express. Officials of the line said that the Cecilia had not been ordered back to port from thia side of the Atlantic . Officials of one of the big banks here, which was shipping more than (3.900.309 in gold oh the liner, expressed great dis appointment over its return. Some of them said frankly they would be glad if the vessel had been captured by the French. In such an event, they thought, the French captors would have seen to it that the metal reached Its destination. Arrangements were being made today for the return of the gold to New York. Apparently all efforts to have It shipped on any other vessel have been abandoned. Room for Two Thousand Americana. PARIS. Aug. 4.
