COUNT LUCKNER
THE SEA DEVIL
Copyright by _
Doubleday, Doran & Cos. By LOWELL THOMAS
Running before the wind, the Sw.dler,
now under her proper name and with all
the Norwegian camouflage cleared away,
sped southward toward Madeira. The gun
crew worked hard at drill and target prac
tice, and Count Luckner offered a prize
to the man who should sight the first prize
vessel. Off Gibraltar the raiders met a
large British steamship, and raising the
signal "Chronometer time, please,” pre
pared to take her. When Luckner ran up
the German Bag the steamer tried to run
away but was brought to a stop by shots
across its bows. It was the Gladys Royal,
carrying coal from Cardiff to Buenos
Aires. Captain Chewn and his crew were
taken aboard the Seeadler and their vessel
was sunk by a bomb. The next ship
sighted was a passenger steamer and
Luckner let it go by. but the third, the
Lundy Island, with sugar for France, was
shelled until she stopped and her crew re
moved to the raider. She was sunk by
direct gunfire. ,
CHAPTER IV—Continued
“To ail of our crew?"
“Yes, to onr crew, and to nil of our
prisoners, tool Ten pounds sterling
and a bottle of champagne I I’ll bet
that’ll send everybody into the rig
ging, including the captains.”
“By .Toe, you’re right,” said rn.v
mate, slapping his knee, “particularly
since they know that, as soon as we
are full up with prisoners, I hey will
all be sent into some port.”
“Exactly,” 1 responded. “It won!
be long before we have several hun
dred aboard. That will make a tine
flock of birds perched in the rigging,
forces of the Allies on the lookout for
Allied ships to sink !”
Leudeinann and l roared will) laugh
ter the longer we thought of it. I at
once had notices posted up:
“Ten pounds and a bottle of cham
pagne to the lirst man who sights a
ship. Offer open to all.”
You should have seen the rigging
crowded with crew and prisoners from
then on. Every man who hart any
kind of glass brought it out. There
were up-to-date binoculars, old-fash
ioned spyglasses, and cheap opera
glasses. Even those without any
glasses took their places on the yard
arms, trusting to luck and the power
of the naked eye. The two captains,
with the dignity and poise that became
their exalted rank, climbed aloft and
sat next to each other on a yard,
sweeping the horizon with their excel
lent binoculars.
Never had a ship such .) lookout. 1
often stood and watched the curious
flock perched in the rigging, all col
ors, sizes, and styles of beauty. And.
believe me, they were wonders at spot
ting ships. Sometimes two or three
would spot the same ship at the same
moment. Then there would be an
argument, a riddle for Solomon him
self to answer. Once or twice the
argument got so hot that I had to pay
two rewards for a skip, and then the
champagne flowed freely. That night,
if the weather was balmy and a gentle
breeze was blowing from the Gull
stream, the deck of the Seeadler be
came a veritable beer garden, and our
guests frolicked like tourists on a
Mediterranean cruise.
CHAPTER V
Raiding Along the Equator
There are some memories that are
painful to recall. To this day I can
see the Charles Gounod going down,
her bowsprit plunging first and her
tall masts sinking slowly, first one
spar disappearing and then another
It fills me with sadness, for she had
behaved like a gallant craft, and she
was a large barque with all the air
of an argosy, and as we bore toward
her, she proudly saluted our Norwe
gian flag by raising the tricolor of
France.
“What news of the war?” she sig
naled.
We steered close to her, unmasked
our gun, and raised the German buttle
flag.
“Heave to,” was our reply.
Incredulity, consternation I The of
ficers and sailors on deck stood par
alyzed for a long moment. Then the
barque hove 10.
Our prize crew went aboard and com
mandeered a batch of fine red wine
from among the ship’s provisions, and
three line fat hogs. The Frenchmen
oacked their belongings and came
aboard the Seeadler. They were a
glum-looking, disgusted lot.
Needlewomen in China Ply Trade in Street
China is perhaps the only country in
the world where one inuy have his gar
ments mended on the street while he
waits. In nearly all the chief cities of
the country native sewing women are
to be seen seated on low stools, per
haps on the sidewalk, mending articles
□f masculine wearing apparel.^
The accomplishments of these street
seamstresses are somewhat limited,
their efforts with the needle being con
fined, as a rule, to “running." Other
branches of needlework are virtually
unknown to them. Asa consequence
their efforts are better appreciated by
natives than by foreign travelers.
They are never short of patrons
THE ROCKDALE RECORD, Conyers, Ga., Wed., May 1, 1929.
The captain was painfully correct
In Ills manner toward us. He was u

and black beard. A man of tine edu

scrupulously polite, but knew bow to

conceded that. But we were the ene
mies of his country and the destroy
ers of his ship. Therefore he pre
served a demeanor appropriate to that
attitude of mind throughout his en
tire voyage with us. For our part, we
could not hut admire him for his su
perb, unbending spirit. Ilis barque
was loaded with a cargo of corn and
bound lor Bordeaux.

my favorite composer. The thought
of it made me hum a phrase of Vul
entine’s dying lament.
But the sinking ot the Charles Gon
nod meant much more than any such
superficial melancholy. One shouldn’t
ever have to sink a ship. They are
the Inst survivors of the golden days
at sea. cruder days and linet days

an old-time seaman's love for sail
ships. A steamer? Train the guns
and light the fuses. 1 could sink a
steamer and laugh ns she takes her
last dive. But 1 never did get used
to sinking sailing ships, although we
had to send many ot them on their
hist voyage before our own final ad
venture in the South seas.
Our bombs exploded in the hold ol
the Charles Gounod. She lurched like
a living thing. Her tall insists trem
bled. The majestic ship seemed to
bow her head as she nosed down into
the sea. The last we saw of tier was
a glimpse of her tallest mast and wav
ing from it the tricolor of France.
With her departure, 1 somehow
thought I saw the passing of the
whole age of sailing ships.
Three days later, a tremendous com
motion In the rigging. Six men were
reporting “Sail hoi”
She was a tine three-masted schoon
er. We thought she might be an
American. The Americans favor that
type ot ship. And the United States
was not yet in the war. However, the
Canadians nlso have a weakness for
the three-masted schooner. We raised
our (lag. Imping to induce the skipper
to raise his Hag, which would he the
polite response for him to make. But
her skipper didn't seem to be in any
mood for returning compliments that
day. Perhaps he had had a bad night
and was saying to himself:
“What do I care for that old Nor
wegian tub?”
We backed our main-topsail and
dipped our Mag three times as a sa
lute, hoping that this exceptional cour
tesy would induce the schooner to
follow the amenities of the sea.
It happened now that our freeboot
ing led us to intrude unwittingly into
the rose-covered field of romance,
where our rough pirate’s hoots were
not adapted to walk among the deli
cate plants. However, buccaneers that
we were, we were not without a high
regard for the tender sentiment.
Aboard the schooner, the captain had
his uewly married bride. The voyage
was their honeymoon.
I.euderuann and i stood on the
bridge.
“Better leave the lubber alone,” 1
sa id.
Just then tite ensign In the lookout
on the mainmast sang out:
“That’s no American. They’re rais
ing the British flag.”
Sure enough, there were the British
colors. Up went our battle flag!
Across her bows went a shot from dir
gun. But it required a second shot
before she hove to.
“Hey I” cried Leudemann, “there’s
a woman.”
The captain’s bride was running
around the deck in a tailspin, as avi-
among the Chinese tradesmen, for
these are often natives of other dis
tricts, and having come to the city to
engage in business have no one to
mend a rent for them. Their wives
being left at home, they are glad to
employ the street needlewomen. For
this class of customers the skill of the
itinerant sewing woman answers every
purpose.

ators say. 1 don't know whether she
was afraid of shot and shell or the
righteous Ire of tier husband. Maybe
he was chasing tier.
The schooner was the It. Rl. S.
Percy hound from Nova Scotia with a
cargo of gaberdine. The captain told
me he saw our first shot splash Into
the water in front of his ship, and
thought it merely a whale spouting
With our second shot he heard the
report of the gun, nnd saw that we
weie an auxiliary cruiser. The Percy's
cargo was so light that we did not use
bombs, but shot her full of holes.
We were worried about having fair
company aboard. There might be
rough work that would not be good
for tlie eyes of woman. And then a
woman needs attention. She must he
treated with care and consideration.
Stqqiose this new and undesired cap
tive should start to complain. Women
like to complain. Suppose she should
grow angry sit being kept a prisoner.
What could we do? You couldn’t put
her in the brig.
“Well, l.eudemnnn,” said I, "the
only thing we can do Is to treat her
so well that she will be happy all the
time.”
“I treated a dame well once,”
growled l.eudemnnn, “and then she
ran off with another man the first time
l left her alone.’*
The skipper's bride turned out to he
the host fellow you could want. She
laid one of those sunny temperaments
that simply spread mirth anil good
cheer everywhere. She had a smile
for everyone and In every circum
stance. She took her stay aboard the
Seeadlei as an unexpected, exciting,
and appropriate phase of her honey
moon, and resolved to get the greatest
possible fun out of it.
When she got hack to Canada, she
gave the newspapers long stories
about her stay tin our terrible pirate
raider, the Seeadler, and told what a
delightful time the freebooters had
shown her. When I returned to Ger
many after the war, I found an en
velope full of clippings from her await
ing me.
We lay In the waters off Africa five
degrees above the equator and thirty
degrees west longitude. That region
is right on the path of all sailing ships
that run before the southeast trade
winds and head north. The weather
is seldom had there, the air is clear,
and from our masthead we had a
range of vision of thirty miles.
A Frenchman, no doubt of It. The
ship was scrupulously clean, her rig
ging trim and neat. Her hull was
decorated artistically with gunports,
after the manner of an old-time war
frigate. Only the French keep their
ships so thoroughly shined up, and
there was one firm of French shipping
owners whose custom it was to deco
rate their vessels man-o’-war fashion.
She was the four-masted brig Antonin.
We came up behind her diagonal
ly, and then after her. Our motor
was having one of Us off days, but
we did not care.
A sudden wind squall arose. It blew
like a fury. The captain of the An
tonin was a sensible skipper. He
immediately lowered sail, took in his
royals and upper gallant sails. That
was where we had it on him, for we
had no miserly shipowner to be afraid
of. Our masts wouldn't break, any
way.
“Keep every stitch on, boys I After
her, my hearties!”
Of course, we gained rapidly on her
now.
The wind continued to howl. The
gale raged, and the captain of the
Antonin thought we were quite mad.
Gallants and royals up during a wind
squall—he had never seen such a thing
in all his days at sea. The sight was
so funny that he wanted a picture of
it. We watched him standing in the
stern of his ship and gazing down into
the finder of tiis camera.
“Leudemann,” I said to my helms
man, “we must capture Ilia, snapshot
for our collection of photographs, if
we have to take a trip to Davy Jones
doing it.”
We were attempting to keep a
thorough photographic record of our
cruise, for the Imperial archives, and
a picture ot the Seeadler running with
ail sails set through a squall, particu
larly if that picture were snapped all
unwittingly by the captain of a prize,
would indeed be a gem for our col
lection.
We were close behind the Antonin
now. A machine gun began to rattle.
We were often bored during those
long days at sea. Anything for a bit
of amusement. It would lie funny to
watch that captain's face when he
heard the typewriter of Mars rattling
in his ear and when lie saw us send
ing a stream of lead through his rig
ging. First he started, and then lie
glared. What did these lunatics mean?
This kind ol insanity was too much

We sank the Antonin just as we sank
the others.

Four Claim Possession
of Pen Lincoln Used
The recent sale at auction of a pen
purporting to be the implement used
liy President Lincoln when he signed
the emancipation proclamation lias
brought to light three other pens for
which the same honor Is claimed. One
is owned by Sirs. Stuart Pritchard of
Battle Creek, Mich. Another was sold
In Philadelphia a few years ago. The
third one, recently offered for sale,
is hacked by the affidavit of Louis
Bergdorf, who was a White House
messenger at the time, nnd lie says
he held the precious document while
the President signed it, and a week
later he was given the pen and the
table upon which the signing was done
by the President. The fourth pen ex
ists somewhere In the western part of
tills country. The Philadelphia pen
referred to above is said to have been
given by Charles A. Sumner of Lin
coln's cabinet to James Worniley, a
negro who owned and operated the
Worniley hotel in Washington years
ngo. The history of the Pritchard
pen seems to he just ns authentic as
the others, but Mr. Lincoln could not
have made use of more than one pen,
and which Is the right one is an open
question.
Periscope Colored So
That It Is Invisible
One of the early drawbacks to the
submarine was tbe inability to see
what was happening on the surface,
with the old-style periscope betraying
the vessel.
None of them could hide its peri
scope except, of course, by submerg
ing it, and then the submarine was
blind, nnd practically helpless.
Nowadays, however, these under
water craft are fitted with periscopes
that are to all intents and purposes
invisible, except at quite close quar
ters. Tliis is accomplished by paint
ing them checkerboard fashion with
alternate squares of green and violet.
These two colors, when viewed
jointly by the eye, amalgamate, and
cause the brain to receive the im
pression of seeing blue. A periscope
so painted very obligingly merges in
to the color scheme of the sea and
becomes invisible.
Talk* Without Tongue
John L. Nichols, a winter visitor at
Los Angeles, has not had a tongue for
10 years, but he proved to lie one of
•tie most fluent speakers heard by the
Toastmasters’ club there. Surgical re
moval of liis tongue was necessary in
1912 and eight weeks later he began
gradually to develop tlie power of
speech. There are only 14 of tbe 26
letters in the alphabet that, can he
pronounced without the aid of the
tongue, Nichols says. The other 12
he sounds by blowing or whistling.
Once lie talked to 800 men at n con
vention for two hours and a stenog
rapher taking down the speech mis
understood only one word.
Millioa* in Teeth
Teeth to the value of $0,494,0.'!2
were produced in the dental labora
tories of this country during 1927,
figures obtained by the Department
of Commerce indicate. This was an
increase of nearly 10 per cent over
the previous census of 1925. Dental
gold increased 10. G per cent in tbe
same period, reaching a total of .$13,-
515,408, while the grand total of out
put for all dental goods was -$42,-
695,252.
Love’* Cradle
All emotions have their beginning in
the pituitary gland. It is in the mid
dle of the head, at Hie base of tlie
brain. Love, hate, jealousy, and so
on are due to the excitation of that
gland.
No man should complain if he Is
measured with his own yardstick.
