Meanwhile, the <a href="/wiki/USS_Supply_(1872)" title="USS Supply (1872)">USS <i>Supply</i></a> blocked the entrance to Apra Harbor to prevent any attempt to flee. In a separate boat, the two officers were accompanied by a barge commanded by Lt. W.A.

Zuckschwerdt agreed to surrender his crew but refused to turn over the ship. The U.S. officers informed Zuckschwerdt that the <i>Cormoran</i> would be treated as an enemy combatant and left to inform Governor Smith of the situation. Unbeknownst to the Americans, the Germans had secreted an explosive device in the ship's coal bunker. Minutes after the Americans left, an explosion aboard <i>Cormoran</i> hurled debris across the harbor and her crew began abandoning ship. The two American boats and USS <i>Supply</i> immediately began to recover German sailors from the water, saving all but seven of the roughly 370 <i>Cormoran</i> crew.

Light, first-class items generally take less than a week to or from the mainland. Larger first-class or Priority items can take a week or two. Fourth-class mail, such as magazines, are transported by sea after reaching Hawaii.
