COUNT LUCKNER
THE SEA DEVIL
D.uw.SrlC?'. Cos. By LOWELL THOMAS
INTRODUCTORY
Count Felix von Luckner, was as
Lowell Thomas says, “the most ro
mantic and mysterious figure on the
side of the central powers in the
World war.” Born in Saxony of a
noble family that for generations had
furnished distinguished cavalry com
manders for the armies of their times
(his great grandfather was a mar
shal of France), his father was de
termined he should carry on this cav
alry tradition. But Felix was enam
ored of the sea from his childhood
A “husky young devil, fond of sport's,”
he refused to apply himself to his
studies, and when thirteen and a halt
years old he ran away to Hamburg
and with the help of a superannuat
ed sailor obtained the post of cabin
boy aboard the Russian full-rigged
ship Niobe bound for Australia.
Eighty days of rough sailing and
rougher treatment brought him to
Freemantle, where an inn-keeper’s
daughter persuaded him to desert
the ship and work for her father as
a dishwasher.
Always seeking adventure, Felix
joined tiie Salvation army in Free
mantle, then in succession became as
sistant to a lighthouse keeper, work
er in a sawmill, kangaroo hunter,
helper to a band of Hindu fakirs and
prize fighter. But tiie sea still lured
him and he shipped on the American
four masted schooner Colden Shore
for Seattle. By this time Felix was
ambitious to be his own master, so
he and another German lad went to
Vancouver and stole a small sailboat
to become fishermen. They were
caught but a lenient judge put them
on probation for a few weeks. Sign
ing on the English- ship I’inmore, the
young adventurer now had a long
voyage around Cape Horn to Liver
pool in the course of which cairns,
storms, scurvy and heri-beri nearly
did for tiie entire crew.
Returning to Hamburg, Phelax, as
he called himself in those days,
signed on the Caesarea, his first Ger
man ship, and then began a voyage
that furnished him with what he
called “a real sea yarn.” After a not
unpleasant passage to Melbourne they
took a cargo of coal to Chile—where
Phelax spent New Year’s day in jail
as a result of a spree—and then
sailed for Plymouth with saltpeter.
Off the Falkland islands they were
caught in a terrific hurricane but
managed to reach port. Their next
destination was New York, and on
Christmas day they were struck by
a white squall, followed by a hurri
cane that completely wrecked their
ship. Many of the crew were lost
but Phelax, with a broken leg, and a
few others got away in the captain’s
boat. Six days later, their food and
water all gone, they were picked up
by an Italian steamer that took them
to New York.
Discharged from the hospital in
eight weeks, Phelax shipped on the
Canadian schooner Flying Fish for
Jamaica, but while discharging cargo
liis other leg was broken and he was
left behind in Kingston. Abie only
to hobble, he was thrown out of the
hospital there and, penniless and
feeble, soon became a real beach
comber. One day the German war
ship Panther came into port and poor
Phelax, hungry to hear his native
tongue, slipped aboard and was giv
en food by the sailors. But he was
so dirty and disreputable in appear
ance that the officer of the watch or
dered the “unspeakable creature” off
the ship. Years later, when he had
resumed his own name and station in
life and was befriended by the
kaiser, he told this story to Wilhelm,
and the ruler declared it would be
appropriate and poetic to put him
aboard that same Panther as an offi
cer which was done.
Another voyage took Phelax to
Tampico, where he and a comrade
went for a horseback ride and lost
their ship. For a time they made a
living carrying market baskets, and
then joined the Mexican army. Work
in a railroad construction camp and
on a fruit ranch followed, and then
came voyages on a Norwegian vessel
in the course of which Phelax ac
quired a knowledge of the Norwegian
language that was destined to play
an important part in his later adven
tures aboard the Seeadler during the
war.
When he ran away from home
Luckner vowed he would not return
until he could do so as a naval officer
in the imperial service. To realize
this ambition he must study naviga
tion, serve as officer in the mercan
tile marine and then enter the navy.
Ail this he accomplished with much
travail, and on being mustered in for
volunteer service he was recognized
by his uncle. Admiral Count Baudis
sin. From that time of course his
fortune was assured and he was re
united with his family. Before long
Prince Henry of Prussia ordered him
into active service and the emperor
took a warm interest in his advance
ment.
Count von l.uckner’s narrative
from Ibis point, is given in his own
language, as he told it to Lowell
Thomas. It should be explained that
when he returned to "respectable’
life lie found Hint tiie vivid profan

ity he had become accustomed to ein
ploy created consternation and em
barrassment. So as Mr. Thomas says,
he submitted himself to a long and
rigorous course of self-discipline to
extract the blazing nautical oaths
from his common speech. Their place
was taken by tiie harmless expression
“By Joe" which appears so frequently
throughout his story.
CHAPTER I
The Fairy of Feurteventura
The emperor transferred me to the
Panther, which was then assigned to
our West African station, tne Cam
eroons. If my being aboard the
Panther inspired, in itself, vivid recol
lections of my past life, my service
as an officer of the ship presently
brought me to another and far more
delightful memory of my sailing-ship
days. This was an incident that not
merely returned to me in imagination,
but one that brought to me that rarest
gift of fortune, a dream come true.
The events that preceded tiie cli
max of which 1 speak were such as
to provide tiie ever-striking qualities
of contrast. The African jungle, the
pursuit of savage beasts, black war
riors, an extraordinary black king, fan
tastic war dances and all tiie unearth
ly sights and sounds that are Africa,
and then . . .
Having to take the Panther back
to Germany for overhauling, we
steamed north. Our first stop was to
be for provisions at Fuerteventura,
one of the islands of the Canaries, a
y jm; '■*£. ,*a

vacationing and health resort. I was
on watch. Straight ahead, a speck of
land appeared on the horizon, Fuer
teventura, the island for which we
were bound.
It was a green island. Presently,
through ray glass, I could distinguish
waving palms and white houses, white
houses with green shuters and red
roofs. A vague feeling made my heart
jump.
“Luckner,” 1 thought, "it is the same
island, the island you saw when you
were a cabin boy aboard the Niobe,
the island of the fairy princess.”
It was. There could be no doubt of
it. So clear was memory impressed
by a great feeling that I could recog
nize individual houses I had gazed up
on seventeen years before while I
leaned on the rail dreaming a happy
dream.
1 went ashore by myself, and saun
tered over the island all day. It was
small, with gentle hills and an abun
dance of vegetation. Flowers were
everywhere. It was truly an island of
flowers. I went on through perfumed
valleys and over breezy hills, lost in
reverie, lost in my former life. A
kind of hypnotism was upon me.
“Phelax,” I thought, "of course you
do not see the fairy princess. She is
hidden beyond the flowers there. She
will stay hidden. Is she to come to
Phelax, a common sailor? Or even if
you were a naval officer, would siie
Dog Needs “Balanced” Diet to Keep Healthy
Most dogs are just as dependent
upon simple, wholesome, nourishing
fare as people are. If they are fed a
lot of greasy stuff, or quantities of
candy, they will get sick. On the other
hand, practically every one will thrive
on plenty of lean meat, either raw or
slightly cooked; fresh fish, a fair
amount of cereal, some thoroughly
boiled green vegetables. Supplement
this diet with a few pieces of crum
bled white bread; amt two or
three times a week give the dog a
good-sized fresh beef bone from the
butcher. Never let him have poultry
bones, though, or any other kind that
breaks into sharp slivers.
And here is another point; mix the
different kinds of food very thorough
come? She is too lovely for any mor
tal being.”
So deep was I in fantasy that these
thoughts inspired me to a sad regret
and resignation. When evening came,
I returned to the ship happy and yet
downhearted.
That night we entertained on hoard
members of tiie Royal Spanish cl tilt
and their guests. Some came for din
ner. some afterward. It was a jolly
meal. Then we gave an after-dinner
entertainment, and I was called upon
to entertain and amuse our guests.
During my days us a sailor 1 was oft
en in demand to amuse the company.
The tricks 1 had learned among the
Indian fakirs in Australia I had re
tained and cultivated. To this day
I am somewhat skillful at various
kinds of sleight of band, i put on
oriental robes and turban. M.v face,
freshly tanned by the sun of the Cam
croons, needed no darkening. I had
learned from the fakirs the solemn
mystical demeanor and slow impres
sive movements that they cultivated.
1 must say that as 1 appeared before
the guests in the salon of the Panther
I cut quite an oriental, wonder-work
ing figure.
I had performed several tricks and
had come to the one in which I
snapped a ring onto a cane held at
both ends by an assistant, when two
newcomers arrived and entered through
a door not far from me.
“Luckner,” I thought, “are you going
crazy? Phelax, there is she, your
fairy princess.”
She was on the arm of a stately old
gentleman. She hud tiie rosy lips, the
short, pretty nose, tiie childlike eyes,
and the rich blonde hair that had
haunted my imagination. She came
close to me and watched me with an
expression of interest and something
of awe. As I learned later, she
thought 1 was truly an Indian fakir.
“Phelax,” I said to myself, “she has
come to you, your fairy princess. She
knows you are on her island, and she
has come.”
I tried to go on with my trick, but
my hands shook and were clumsy. 1
could not control them. Nor could l
keep my eyes away from the blonde
girl who stood there.
“I’m sorry,” 1 said to my assistant,
one of our officers. “The other ones
went all right, but 1 can’t seem to
do this one. We’ve had enough any
way.”
“Ladies and gentlemen," he an
nounced jocularly, “the great fakir has
reconsidered and thinks it would be
wrong to disclose this last marvelous
trick. He feels that it is his duty to
retain it and exhibit it for the first
time before his sovereign, the king of
England.”
Everybody laughed, I went out and
changed into my naval uniform as
quickly as I could. When I returned,
I asked one of the other officers to
present me to the blonde young lady.
I have never felt so bashful as when
I made my bow before her.
She was much amused at having
taken me for a genuine Indian fakir,
and talked merrily. Her laughter was
very sweet. She told me her name
was Irma. Her father owned great
plantations on the island of Sumatra.
She was with him at Fuerteventura on
a sojourn for his health.
Tiie remainder of my stay on the
island was perfect happiness. Irma’s
father entertained us ofiicers at his
bungalow. Irma and 1 were together
ail of the time. We took long walks
among the white houses and through
the green glades tiie sight of which
had so gladdened poor Phelax long
years before. When the Panther
steamed north again, 1 was happy
with the assurance that Irma had giv
en me that she and her father were
sailing for home in a short time and
that I would see her there.
i did see her there, and we became
engaged to be married. The Panther
was to sail for the Cameroons again
on July 17. We were ready to start
when we received an unexpected tele
gram from the admiralty—“Do not
start.” On August 1, Germany de
clared war on Russia, and the world
was ablaze. I told Irma that our mar
riage must be put off. If would be
wrong to have her become the wife
of a man who might so soon leave
her a widow. She wanted an imme
diate marriage, but I was determined.

of particularly choice tidbits and tiie

of the foods recommended is that they
constitute a sanely balanced diet, so
your dog ought to eat all of them.—
