THIRTEEN RAIDERS
REPORTED SUNK IN SOUTH PACIFIC BY DUTCH AND AUSTRALIAN FORCES. DURING PAST EIGHT MONTHS. 'By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 1.0 p.m.) NEW YORK. September 12. Australian and Dutch forces have destroyed thirteen German raiders in the South Pacific during the past eight months says the Associated Press of America's Manila correspondent. It is confirmed in America that a German raider sank the Kota Nopan, a Dutch ship, 1000 miles west of the Panama Canal. The raider is believed to have been an armed merchantman and probably operated from a base outside the waters guarded by the Australian and Dutch naval and air patrols. Recently a commercial plane, en route from Australia to Batavia observed a tanker idling in calm seas, apparently awaiting a rendezvous with a raider. The plane reported to the Dutch naval authorities, who later thanked the pilot for valuable information.
