Thomas Count Luckner tells of being ordered to take command of a sailing vessel in 1916 to run the British blockade. The vessel was armed and carried a crew of sixty. It was disguised so that its real nature could not be discovered except by a most complete examination. It was planned that the crew were to be disguised as Norwegians. Luckner could speak Nor wegian fluently. The members of the crew were thoroughly drilled in the parts they were to play and on a pitch-dark night in November the Seeadler slipped out of the mouth of the Weser into the North Sea. CHAPTER ll.—Continued One of the mechanics’ helpers, Schmidt by name, I had taken for a principal role in our strategy. He was slender, beardless, and of delicate appearance, and could pass well enough In woman’s clothes. Norwe gian skippers often take their wives with them on their voyages. The cap tain’s wife aboard the false Maleta would seem natural and tend to dis arm suspicion, and, besides, British naval officers are always courteous and considerate toward women. In the presence of the captain’s wife, a prize officer who might board us would be more obliging toward us all. We had a blonde wig for Schmidt and an outfit of women’s clothes. We took great pains in schooling him to play the part of the captain’s wife correct ly. One difficulty was his big feet. There was, unfortunately, no way to make them smaller, so we arranged that the captain’s wife should be slightly ill and remain seated during any possible search and have a rug thrown over her feet to keep them warm. The other difficulty was Schmidt’s voice. It was too deep, and he knew no Norwegian. Well, the cap tain’s wife can’t talk because she has an awful toothache. A wad of cotton stuffed into Schmidt’s cheek, and there was the swelling. He did know enough English to say “all right.’’ We trained him to say a high-pitched “all right’’ something like a woman with a tooth ache. Except for that phrase, he was to keep his mouth shut. We had a large photograph made of Schmidt in his costume, signed it “thy loving Jo sephine,” and hung it in my cabin. Now the Britishers could compare the photograph of the captain’s wife with the lady in person. So from now on poor Schmidt’s name was “Josefeena” as the Norwegians pronounce it. We were ready to sail when, by Joe, what comes but a telegram from the kaiser’s aide. I am to report imme diately direct to his majesty. I guessed what was up. I had gone into the navy from the mercantile marine in stead of through the usual cadet route. I had been a common ordinary sailor, and this had aroused a lot of antag onism in naval circles. There had been jealousy about my getting an inde pendent command—highest of ail na val honors. So attempts were being made to have my assignment annulled. Even to appear in the imperial pres ence was a trying ordeal for most offi cers. Many took refuge in rigid “at tention.” Well, I had never quite got used to high-class manners at sea, and the ramrod “attention” left me more embarrassed than otherwise. Even in the emperor’s presence, I kept the same brusque manner of an old-time seaman flint was natural to me. The kaiser spoke bluntly. “Well, Luckner, at the admiralty they now fell me it is madness to at tempt the blockade with a sailing ship. What do you think?” “Weil, your majesty, if our admi ralty says it’s impossible and ridicu lous, theu I’m sure it can be done," I replied. “For the British admiralty will think it impossible also. They won’t be on the lookout for anything so absurd as a raider disguised as a harmless old sailing ship.” The emperor looked at me with a frown, and then his face relaxed into a smile. “You are right, Luckner. Go ahead! And may the hand of the Almighty he at your helm.” I knew now that there would be no more official interference. The true Maleta was now due to sail in a day, so we madp ready to puli up anchor.' Then a wireless came from the admi ralty : “Wait till the Deutschland makes port.” Our giant merchant submarine, the Deutschland, was on her way home from her famous transatlantic cruise to America. In an attempt to cut her off, the British had set a double watch. So the Seeadler would have to slip past twice as many cruisers and de- Difficulties of Life Have Their Purposes Very rare are those who have al ways had their every wish fulfilled or forestalled; but even these should not be envied.

If we had no dif- THE ROCKDALE RECORD, Conyers, Gn., Wed., April 3. 1929. stroyers as otherwise. I still hoped that, if only detained a day or so, we might yet be able to slip across the North Sea ahead of the Maleta. But we lay there for three and a half weeks, and the sad news came that the real Maleta had sailed and passed through the blockade. If we now at tempted to use her name and a search party boarded us, the jig would he up. So we hurriedly examined Lloyd’s Register in the hope of finding anoth er Norwegian ship that might corre spond to us. We picked out one called the Carraoe. We had no idea where she was, but hoped she might be in some distant port unbeknown to the wary British. It was a long chance, hut we could think of nothing better. Now we had to change our ship from the Maleta to the Carmoe. I’aint out one name and substituting another was easy enough, but chang ing all our ship’s papers was far more difficult. But with much use of chem ical eraser we finally accomplished it, nnd we had papers that would pass if the visibility was not too bright dur ing the search. Then, when we were uli set again, we picked up a copy of a Norwegian commercial paper nnd found that the real Carmoe had just been seized by the British nnd taken to Kirkwall for examination. Now, if you haven’t any luck, you must go and get some! All you have to do is know how to do that, and you will be a great success at sea, or anywhere! So away with Lloyd’s Register! Let’s take life’s register and name our sea eagle after the girl of my heart. Surely she will bring us luck. So, out with the paint and on with another new name —the name of my sweet heart, Irma. In that name was concentrated most of the beauty that I had found in life. It symbolized strange moments of beauty that had crossed my path dur ing the most trying days 1 had so far known. It seemed to be a lovely silken thread that had run through the years since that first voyage, when as a miserable cabin boy I sailed to Australia on that Russian tramp. Of course, there was no such name as Irma listed with Lloyd’s, and all any British officer would have to do would be to consult his register and the jig would be up. But somehow I had a premonition that the name Irma would bring us through. When we applied eraser and ink to our shipping papers and wrote in the name of Irma—disaster. Two erasures were too much. The ink blotted. If we should be stupid enough to take the Britis!) for fools, then we our selves would be the real fools. Where was our luck now? Fate seemed to be against us, but I had no intention of giving up. Calling the carpenter, 1 said: “Come on, Chips, I am going to make you admiral of the day. Get the ax and smash all the bull’s-eyes, win dows, portholes, and everything.” Poor Chips! He thought I had gone off my head, but he obeyed. The smashing began. “Bo’s’n,” I called, “half a dozen men with buckets of sea water! Throw it around, drench everything.” And now the water flew in the cab ins, in the drawers of chests, In the officers’ bunks, all over my Norwegian library, water everywhere. I took my shipping papers and put eacli page be tween sheets of wet blotting paper so that not only the name of Irma and the other entries we had changed were blotted, but every line. I even soused the log book in a bucket of water. Then I called the carpenter again. “Now repair everything you have smashed, Chips. Nail everything.” He hammered planks over the smashed portholes and bull’s-eyes, and put' the smashed chairs together as well as he could. Now, if the Britisher came aboard, he would say: “By Joe, captain, you must have had a hard blow to get knocked about like this.” And I would growl, “Yes, by Joe, ev erything is drenched, even my papers.” Two days later a southwest wind sprang up. The moment was at hand. To go raiding in a sailing ship and that sailing ship with the name of Irma painted on her bows—all, it seemed more like a dream than like setting out on a real adventure. It seemed as though all the events of my life had been designed to converge to this one glorious point. Our one bun- Acuities to overcome and our patience were not tried, we might continue to exist—but our claim to be called “men” and “women” would be slen der. Though we often groan under its weight, we should “respect the bur den,” and thus retain our cheerfulness and serenity.

Our nine thousand square feet of sail bellowed before the wind. We sailed north under a full spread. CHAPTER 111 “ Running the British Blockade Sails bellied and motor humming, we parted the waves nnd left n path of foam in our wake. On deck we de voted all our spare time to more dress rehearsals. My boys took a particular relish in putting me through the “third degree," as you call It. One of them played the part of a Britisli searcli officer. “Now, Captain, what is the name of your ship?” lie bellowed. “She is the Irma, nnd as good a full rigged ship as ever crossed the North sen.” “Have you any brothers and sisters, Captain?” “Oh, yes, a lot of them. There nre Olga, Ingaborg, and Oscar wtio live in Hatfjeidduien. Dngmar and Chris tian are seamen tike myself. Lars runs a salmon cannery in British Columbia, Gustaf and Tor are lumber men somewhere in America. And then we have another brother, Eric, whom we’ve lost track of.” While trying to make tiie narrow channel of Norderaue we lilt a sand bank. The ship creaked nnd the masts trembled, but somehow we pushed across—further proof that the Scots of Glasgow still know how to turn out a sturdy clipper ship At ten o’clock we passed the I\orn9 reef and continued along the Danish coast. At eight bells we hoped to reach the Skagerrak, and then turn her west to give the enemy the impres sion that we iiad come from a Scan dinavian port. Shortly before day break, the wind shifted abruptly from southwest to due north. Against such a stiff breeze, we could make little headway. On our rigid were the low rocky fjords and reefs along the const of Ringkjobing and Thisted. To the left were British mine fields. We didn’t dare run into a Danish harbor for fear of being interned. So we must either turn back or take a chance on slipping through the mine fields. It is always possible to sail through a mine field—provided you sail under a lucky star with a guardian angel at the helm. “Hard aport! We’ll risk it, boys.” With a full spread of sail, we turned straight west. Now, a tacking ship heels over. The more sail you carry the more she lays over, and the less water she draws. That was our chance. The mines were nearly always planted several feet under water, just out of sight. Per haps we could slide rigid over them. Lifeboats were lowered, and every man adjusted his lifebelt. Before the mast, the sailors; aft, the captain. But we all kept to the foreship. We were lower aft than fore, and if a mine went off it probably would be aft. But our luck held and we got through in safety. Our course lay around the northern end of Scotland, along the usual slop ping route from Norway to the At iantic. To be sure, we could have bugged the Norwegian coast, but the blockade was even tighter there. That was the natural course for one of our raiding armored cruisers to take, so, if she were headed off by Beatty, she could turn quickly into a neutral Nor wegian port nnd accept internment rather than capture. We didn’t even keep to the middle of the North Sea. but with the idea that our one path of safety lay rigid under John Bull’s nose, we followed the co'.st of Eng land and Scotland. There were three lines of the block ade. The first lay across Hie North Sea from the Scottisii to the Danish coast. We must run this one first. The wind grew stronger. The bar ometer fell. Anyone on the North Sea on the twenty-third of December, 1010. will remember tiie hurricane that came. It was one of tiie worst storms of years. The wind was cyclonic in force, and lashed the shallow North Sea into a cauldron. Running before it we carried every foot of sail we dared, every stitch except the royals and galiantsails and smaller slaysails. We could take chances. We sped right through tiie first line of tiie blockade without sighting a ship and as though the whole North Sea were ours. Instead of going up. the barometer continued to fall. Loud er roared the storm, and more and more mountainous became the waves. We passed tiie second line of the blockade. Stilt not a ship in sight. Midnight grew near, and still that wild heaven-sent hurricane kept up We ran before it like a frightened bird, fearing wvery minute that our sails and masts would go overboard. We lay on tiie yards and scanned the horizon with our glasses. Half-past eleven! We were in the midst of the blockade line. Where were the cruis ers and destroyers? All we could hear was the whistling of the wind and the rushing of the water beneath our bows. All we could see, the blackness of the night. Twelve o’clock and still no sign of tiie onemy. Even our bin uacle and compass lights were out, for any ray of light might betray us. By one o’clock we knew we had passed the last line. The British, warned by the falling barometer, had taken their guard ships to shelter in the lee of tiie is lands. There was nothing else for them to do in such a storm. Even if they saw a ship, it would be hopeless to try to board her. And if Beatty’s fleet had kept to sea, there would have been grave danger of their running one another down. We couldn’t help re calling the old saying that it is In deed an ill wind that blows no one any good. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Improved Uniform International SundaySchool ’ Lesson' (By RfV. P. H.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP lC—Obedient to the Heavenly Vision. I. Isaiah’s Call (Isa. 0:1-13). 1. Isaiah’s vision of tiie Lord (vv. 1-4). (1) He saw the I.ord on His throne (v. 1). The supreme need of a serv ant of Cod is to have n vision of llim. (2.) lie saw (lie seraphim above (vv. 2,3). Their position indicated that they were in readiness to do His bidding. The six wings showed their ability to execute tiie diviae will. One pair veiled the head from tiie divine glory, one veiled tiie feet which had been soiled in contact with (lie world, while :lie third was held in readiness to depart on tiie divine errand. Their continued cry was, “Holy, holy, holy.” (3) lie saw manifestations of maj esty (v. 4). As the seraphim cried, tiie very door posts moved and tiie temple was tilled with smoke. Smoke symbolizes the divine presence in anger (Exod. !!):S; 2!!:1S). This indicated that Ihe selfishness, idolatry and wickedness of Israel had provoked God’s wrath. 2. Isaiah’s conviction of sin (v. 6). When lie saw the vision of tiie Holy God, lie was smitten with a sense of sin. The reason men think well of themselves is that they have never seen Cod. Face to face with the I.ord, Isaiah saw himself as wholly vile. :>. Isaiah cleansed from sin (vv. G, 7). Having been convicted of sin nnd made confession, a burning coal sent from tiie alter purged away his guilt. 4. Isaiah's call (v. S). Ilis call from God did not come un til after his cleansing. The purged soul is ready for the Lord’s service. 5. Isaiah’s dedication (v. 8). As soon as lie was cleansed lie re sponded to the call for service. Ho did not inquire as to tiie issue, but freely gave himself to that service. C>. Isaiah's commission (vv. 9-13). Because of tiie unpromising outlook, Isaiah siirank from his responsibility. Tiie Lord assured him that the peo ples blindness and sin would npt en dure forever. They would continue in sin, tie taken into captivity, and tiie land left desolate. Their life, how ever, would he as the oak which sheds its leaves nnd is for a time apparently lifeless, but still retains its substance. 11. Isaiah’s Prophecy Concerning Assayria and Egypt (Isa. 20:1-G). Tiie increasing power of Assyria alarmed Hie Jews who were inclined to turn to Egypt nnd Ethiopia for iteip. Isaiah severely rebuked them for turning away from Cod to Egypt (31 :l-(i). 1. The prophet’s action (vv. 1,2). He removed his outer garments and walked about Jerusalem as it beggar in order to make a deep Impression upon the people. 2. Tiie significance of the sign (vv. 3-D). For throe years lie went about In tiie dress of a beggar. As lie had wandered about naked and barefoot, so would Egypt lie led away in shame by the Assyrians. 3. The warning (v. 0). The people are made to say, “Such is out expectation, whither we flee for help to he delivered from tiie king of Assyria: how shall we escape?” 111. Irnisrh’s Message to Hezekiah (Isa. 38:1-8). Hezekiah had inclined somewhat toward seeking help from Egypt. 1. Hpzekiah’s sickness (v. 1). For this disloyalty God sent sick ness as a means of chastisement. 2. Isaiah’s first message (v. 1). “Set thine house in order for thou shalt die and not live.” This doubt less is to be understood as a prophetic warning rather than a positive pre diction. 3. Hezekiah’s prayer (vv. 2,3). He plead witli God for considera tion on tiie basis of Ills faithfulness. 4. Isaiah’s second message (vv. 4-G). God sent Isaiah to tell llezekiah that ids prayer had been heard, his life would be prolonged by fifteen years, and that Jerusalem would be delivered out of the hand of tiie king of Assyria. 5. The sign given (vv. 7,8). The sign, was tiie going back of the shadow of the sundial ten degrees.

Of next importance, then, is how to treat it when it comes. Dr. Caldwell always was in favor of getting aa close to nature as possible, lienoe his remedy for consti pation, known as Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup I’epsin, is a mild vegetable compound. It can not harm the system and is not habit forming. Syrup Pepsin is pleasant tasting, and youngsters love it. Dr. Caldwell did not approve of drastic physics and purges.
