!§ SAME PRESCRIPTION
M HE WROTE IN 1892
■When Dr. Caldwell started to practice
f* Medicine, back in 1875, the needs for a
laxative were not as great as today.
People lived normal lives, ate plain,
■wholesome food, and got plenty of fresh
air. But even that early there were
drastic physics and purges for the relief
of constipation which Dr. Caldwell did
not believe were good for human beings.
fßßKlhe prescription for constipation that
he used early in his practice, and which
he put in drug stores in 1892 under the
name of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin,
is a liquid vegetable remedy, intended
for women, children and elderly people,
8d they need just such a mild, safe
bowel stimulant.

afcd is now the largest selling liquid

CASTQRI A
COUNT LUCKNER
THE SEA DEVIL
l>oubleday, Doran & Cos. By LOWELL THOMAS
Up the Danish coast to the Skagerrak
the disguised Seeadler sailed; then west
ward across the British mine fields and up
along the coasts of England and Scot
land. A terrific hurricane sprang up, and
under almost full sail Count Luckner and
his companions started to run the British
blockade. They passed through its several
lines without seeing a ship, for all the
blockading vessels had sought shelter in
the lee of the islands,
CHAPTER lll—Continued
— s—
thought now that, under cover of
darkness and with the aid of the
storm, vve might shorten our voyage
to the Atlantic by cutting through
the channel between the Orkney is
lands and the Shetlands. 1 was about
to order the nelm changed, when the
hurricane shifted abruptly from south
west to southeast. The change came
so suddenly that the twisting winds
nearly ripped our masts out by the
roots. Somehow, that seemed to be
a warning to us, a warning not to go
through that channel.
A sailor believes in signs. And
something told me to take a more
northerly course, nearer the Arctic
Circle and the Faroes. Later, we
learned that the German submarine
Bremen bad tried to pass through that
channel and was never seen again.
The channel had recently been mined.
But for that sudden shift of the storm,
we too would have shared the fate of
the Bremen. With sails still full
spread, we continued north, nearer
and nearer the Polar zone. It grew
bitterly cold. The waves dashed over
us, and the water froze where it fell.
Our timber cargo was sg coated with
ice that not a stick of lumber could
be seen. The deck was like a skating
rink, and the ship’s bow one huge
cake of ice. Everything froze, includ
ing the sails. The ropes became coat
ed and would no longer run through
the blocks. We fried to thaw them
with oxygen flame, but they froze
again the moment the flame was re
moved. Unable to change the sails,
we were helpless.
To turn on the motor would only
make matters worse, because that
would carry us toward the Pole all
the faster. We knew that unless the
hand of God intervened within a few
days we would be hopelessly caught
In the Polar pack and probably never
heard of again. So long ns the wind
blew from the south, we were sure to
coniinue on north. We were in the
region of eternal night now, except
for a few minutes each day. The sun
rose at eleven and set at half-past
eleven, if we continued tills crazy,
frozen voyage to the North pole we
would be smashed in the ice, by Joe.
Christmas eve came, and we prayed
God to send us the one Christmas pres
ent, the only one that could save us —
a north wind to blow us south. My
men in the hold, my fighting crew,
huddled together to keep from freez
ing. They were prisoners, for the
waves and spray had swept over ev
erything until our secret hatches were
frozen as solid as concrete. My
Norsemen on deck slid about on the
icy planks, and every man suffered
from frostbite. No one tried to turn
in to sleep. The tension on our
nerves was too great. Only one thing
was warm and stealing—the kettle of
grog. You landsmen have no idea of
what grog means to a sailor under
such conditions. No wonder seamen
call a glass of schnapps “an ice
breaker!”
As suddenly as It had come, the
south wind died down and a breeze
sprang up in the north. Our frozen
ship creaked, laid over, and came
around with the new wind, and our
hearts sang for joy. Each day we
seemed to thaw out a bit more. Soon
we passed to the east of Iceland and
re-entered the Atlantic. Axes and
picks were busy chipping away the
ice. It was hard work, but who cared
now that we were getting warm
again? We were through the blockade
and out of the Arctic—and now to
test the “Freedom of the Seas” and
give the allies a touch of high life.
“By Joe,” I said to my boys, “and
they call it a blockade!”
You would have thought the fellow
In the lookout was answering me.
“Steamer ahoy,” he sang out.
What? A steamer in these parts?
I climbed aloft with my glasses.
Sure enough, there was a British ar
mored cruiser steaming toward us at
full speed. She had the signal flying:
“Stand by or we tire I”
Such bad tuck after such good luckl
This second Christmas present was
not so amusing. But now for our
test.
“Hustle you non-Norw T egian chaps.
Get below deck I Throw water every
where to explain why our papers are
blurred and wet. The storm we just
passed through will make it seem the
more natural. Schmidt, get into your
finery. Itemember, from now on you
are the shy ‘Josefeena’ (Josephine),
the captain’s wife. If they put a prize
crew aboard, we will capture the prize
crew, if they suspect we are an aux
iliary cruiser, bombs fore, midship,
and aft, and we blow up the ship 1”
Now for a big quid ot tobacco In
my mouth. I have never had the hab
it of chewing tobhcco, but a Norwe
gian skipper would not be true to type
without his quid. Besides, a chew of
THE ROCKDALE RECORD. Conyers, Ga., Wed.. April 10. 1929
tobacco gives you time to think. If
somebody asks you an embarrassing
question, you can roll your quid
around in your mouth, pucker up your
lips slowly, and spit deliberately and
elegantly. I had practiced rolling the
quid and spitting until I thought my
self a past master at the art.
But that smell, by Joel The unex
pected always happens to mar the
best-laid plans—and help the worst.
We had been running our motor full
open. Because of the cargo of wood
that sealed the deck, there had not
been enough ventilation to get rid of
the fumes. The characteristic reek of
crude oil burning In a Diesel engine
seeped up through the secret en
trances placed In my cabin, and ev
erything smelled of It. What will the
search officer think when he smells a
Diesel engine aboard a sailing ship?
No use to burn punk or sprinkle eau
de cologne.
“Stuff a rug in the chimney of the
kerosene stove,” 1 yelled, “and turn
up the wicks of the oil lamps as high
as you can.”
Stench against stench, kerosene
stnoke against the fumes of the mo
tor. In five minutes my cabin smelled
to high heaven of kerosene smoke.
The Britisher had hove to now, and
we saw that she was the Avenger, an
armed merchant cruiser of some fif
teen thousand tons. She had big guns
trained on us, and her officers were
on the bridge looking us over with
their glasses.
The cruiser had put out a small
boat. Two officers and sixteen sail
ors were rowing toward us. We must
receive them cordially, I thought Go
ing to the gramophone I put on, “It’s
a Long Way to Tipperary.” That
will make the officers feel good. I also
told tlie cook to, stand in the door of
the galley with a bottle of whisky in
his hand. I know the British 1 l know
what they like, and I guessed that
while the officer proceeded with his
job, his jack-tars would go poking
about to see if they might find any
thing suspicious. I also suspected that
they would go to the galley and sing
out:
“ ’I there, Cookie, got any grog?”
Always give a British sailor a drink,
or a German sailor, or an American
sailor, or any kind of a sailor, for
that matter.
The boat was alongside. 1 began
to swear at my men. It was hard for
them to forget their naval habits, and,
with an officer coming aboard, they
were standing as stiffly as if at at
tention.
“Take the line, by Joe. Give a hand,
by Joe. Don’t stand there like wooden
men, by Joe.”
Then, too, it would sound natural to
hear a Norwegian skipper swearing at
his men.
The search officer clambered aboard.
“Merry Christmas, Captain.”
“Merry Christmas, Mister Officer,”
I replied, using the kind of broken
English 1 thought a Norwegian skip
per would use. 1 talk English with
an accent, luckily about the same
brand you would hear in a Scandina
vian port. “But,” I continued, “if you
want to see what kind of Christmas
we have had come along down to my
cabin.”
“A bit of a nasty blow tliis past
week, eh, what!” agreed the officer,
“and from the look of your deck
you’ve had more than your share of
it. We went in behind the Islands
and waited for her to blow over."
“Yes, luckily for us.” I thought.
“I must see your papers, captain.”
He got right down to business. Just
then tlie gramophone struck up
“Tipperary,” and he began to whistle
the tune while his men made for the
galley. 1 ushered the two officers to
the cabin. The one who stuck his
head in first retreated holding his
nose.
“What a h —ll of a smell!”
“Excuse me, Mister Officer, but my
stove is out of order. 1 could not
know you gentlemen were giving me
a visit today.”
“Oh, never mind, captain, that’s all
right, that’s all right.”
I had purposely hung my underwear
up to dry so it would be in their way
aDd so that, in stooping to get under
it, they would see the name “Knud
sen” embroidered on it. As the chief
search officer crossed the cabin he
suddenly saw my charming wife Jose
phine, with her blonde wig, her swol
len jaw, and the rug hiding her big
feet.
“Oh, excuse me.”
“That is my wife, Mister Officer.
She has been having a bad go with
the toothache.”
He was chivalrous, Just as most
Englishmen are. He might have been
talking to a court lady, instead of that
rascal Schmidt.
“Sorry, madam, to Intrude like this,
but we must do our duty.”
“All right!” said my lovely but
somewhat distorted better half in a
high falsetto voice out of one corner
of her mouth.
“By Joe, captain, you haven’t much
cabin left, have you? You have been
through some rough weather!”
“I wouldn’t mind the rest, Mister
Officer, but look at my papers. They
are soaked, too.”
“1 can understand that, after the
weather you’ve had."
“Yes, Mister Officer, it's nil rigid for
you to see tliem in tliis condition, be
cause you saw tlie storm yourself, hut
later, if I meet some of your com
rades who didn't hit tlie blow that we
had, tliey may not take my word for
it That’s what’s worrying me.”
“Oil, don’t worry, captain, I’ll give
you a memorandum explaining Hie
condition of your papers. You are
lucky to have saved your ship."
That memorandum was just what I
wanted. There was no telling when
we might he searched again.
1 had the papers scattered all over
the cabin to dry, and each time l
handed one to Him I spat a stream
of tobacco juice on (lie cabin floor,
lie examined tlie papers with a prac
ticed eye and made entries In His
notebook. Each page in His hook was
for a sliip. and I could see that thirty
or forty pages had been used already.
Yes, lie was an experienced officer.
When he came to the last document,
the one signed with the false signa
ture of tlie British consul at Copen
hagen and sealed with a false British
Imperial seal, and read tlie formal
statement Hint die Irma's cargo of
lumber was destined for tlie use of
the British government in Australia,
he turned to me suddenly.
“These papers are ail right, cap
tain.”
In tlie excitement of tlie moment l
suddenly swallowed m.v chew ot to
bacco. I was afraid tliis might give
our whole sham away. So t coughed
and coughed us tHough with a bud
cold, trying to cover up what had hap
pened. What would a British search
oflicer think tf a Norwegian skipper
got seasick? My male Leudemann
was standing next to me holding the
log book. I Had told him to have it
ready in case the Britislier should
want to examine it. Leudemann saw
there was something wrong with me,
and was quick-witted enough to divert
the search officer’s attention, by hand
ing him the hook.
“Oil, yes, tlie log," exclaimed the
officer, and opened tlie wet pages.
The quid of tobacco seemed to be
moving up and down my gullet. I
struggled with myself, and to show
an outward calm I said to Luedeniann
in Norwegian:
“I wish I’d had that officer’s cnmel’s
hair cape and hood. It would have
been fine to keep a fellow warm while
up there ndrth of the Circle.”
“For rain and spray, too.” The
Englishman spoke up in Norwegian
to show tliat tie knew tlie language.
You must admire how careful those
Englisti are. The officer examined ev
ery page of the log.
“How is tliis, captain?” he ex
claimed. “You were laid up three
weeks and a half?”
There was a discrepancy in dates
which represented our wait after the
admiralty had ordered us not to sail
because of tlie return of the subma
rine, Deutschland, arid Hie consequent
increased vigilance of tlie blockade. 1
bad not thought of it. Here was tlie
one de'ail that we had neglected to
provide for in our elaborately de
tailed preparations. Even if I had
been in the best of health. I should
not have known what to reply. With
that tobacco quid running around in
side of my body I could only pray to
God for Help.
Again Leudemann saved the situa
tion. He was a little fellow and sim
ple-hearted, but a great character.
When bad times came, Leudemann
was at his best.
“We didn’t lie there for pleasure,”
he said in His dry way as he looked up
at the big Englishman. “We Had or
ders from our owner uot to sail until
we got word.”
“How so?”
“Haven’t you been warned then
about German cruisers?”
“What’s that?”
“Haven’t you heard about the
Moewe and auxiliary cruiser, See
adler?”
The searcii officer turned to me.
“What about this that your mate
is saying, captain?”
My stomach felt much better, now
that. I.eudernann had spoken. So 1
thought I might as well give the Eng
lishman a good dose.

I. Hezekiah Proclaims a Passover
(vv. M 2).
The way for a sinning and divided
people to get back to God and be
united is around tlie crucified Lord.
The Passover was a memorial of Hie
nation’s deliverance through tlie shed
ding of tlie blood of tlie sacrificial
lamb.
1. The invitation was representative
of tlie nation (v. 2). The king took
counsel with the princes and tlie
congregation to show that tlie procla
mation was tlie expression of tlie na
tion’s desire.
2. The time was unusual (vv. 2-4)i.
There was not sufficient time to sanc
tify Hie people, nor to gather tliem
together at tlie regular time, so tliey
resolved instead of postponing it fof
a year to hold it on tlie fourteenth
day of tlie second month. This liberty
had been granted before in an exigen
cy (Niiiii. 9:0-13).
3. Tlie scope of tlie invitation (vv.
5-9).
It included ail of both nations who
would come to keep tlie Passover to
tlie I.ord God of Israel. “Israel" is
now used to include both’ kingdoms.
The effort was intended to win hack
the nation which Had seceded. The
messengers were autiiorized to sup
plement tlie proclamation with urgent
exhortation to restore a united na
tion. This urgent invitation was tact
fully put as follows:
(1) It touched ancestral memories—
“ Turn again unto tlie Lord God of
Abraham, Isaac and Israel” (v. C).
(’A) Recalled Hi tier experience—“lie
not like your fathers and brethren,
who trespassed against tlie Lord God.
and were given up to desolation, a?
ye see” (v 7).
(3) Aroused yearning for captive
kinsfolk—“ Your brethren find children
shall find compassion before their cap
tors” (v 9).
(4) Stirred instinct of self-preserva
tion—“So that they shall come again
unto tliis land” (v. 9).
(5) Pledged forgiveness (v. 9).
4. Israel's reception of tlie invita
tion (vv. 10-12). .
This invitation in Israel met with a
mingled reception.
(1) Some mocked. Tlie urgent and
sincere invitation only excited opposi
tion and ridicule. (2) Some with
humble hearts came to Jerusalem.
In Judah. God gave them one heart
to accept Hie summons to unite In tlie
Lord around tlie great Passover.
11. The Passover Kept (vv. 13-27).
]. Altars removed (vv. 13, 14).
In tlie time of Aliaz (28:24) tliese
heathen altars were erected in Jeru
salem. Before there could be worship
of tlie true God all traces of idolatry
must he removed. This voluntary act
of Hie people showed a riglit spirit.
2. The Passover killed (v. 15). Tlie
zeal of tlie people was shown in their
going forward with tlie service, though
the priests were not ready for their
task.
3. The priests and Levites ashamed
(vv. 15-20).
The zeal of tlie people put to shame
the priests and Levites, stimulating
tliem to perform their duties accord
ing to tlie law as given by Moses. The!
Levites then took charge of tlie kill
ing of tlie Passover. Though many of
the people were ceremonially unpre
pared to take part in the most sacred
service, tliey were accepted as wor
shipers through the intercession of
Hezekiah. God accepted the purpose
of heart rather than the letter of the
law.
4. The praise of glad hearts (vv.
21, 22).
Tliey continued seven days with
gladness: (1) The I.evites and priests
sang God’s praise daily with loud in
struments (v. 21) ; (2) Hezekiah spoke
comforting words to tlie Levites (v.
22). He commended tliem and their
teaching of the knowledge of God.
(3) They made confession of their
sins to God (v. 22).
5. The Passover prolonged seven
days (vv. 23-27).
The king’s object in prolonging the
feast was to make as lasting an im
pression as possible, so as to result in
the thorough conversion of tlieir souls
to God.
