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 THE ROCKDALE RECORD. Conyers, (la., Wed., March 13, 192i). 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 The Modern Buccaneer and His Bride. 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.
