U17 and the SS Ailsa

My great great grandfather (Andrew Smith) was on the SS Ailsa when she was captured and scuttled by U17 in June 1915. The information I've got from this site and others is that there were zero casualties. I know Andrew died in 1928. Does anyone know what Hans Walther did with his prisoners or how I could find out?
Many thanks - great website btw :-)
