FOSTE^-MILBUKK-CQJMFG,GHEM(STS_ , ■ 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 tall, Impressive fellow with deep voice and black beard. A man of tine edu cation and studious mind, be was scrupulously polite, but knew bow to make the hostility he felt toward us clearly and rather amusingly evident, lie was our prisoner. Very well, be 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. Now, I don’t know much music, and t don’t care tor this modern Jaz? school at all. Faust I enjoy.

Now I had lo sink 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 Take any old salt who has sailed be fore the mast, and ask him The ship yards are nol building many ot them any more, and the day ol the sclmoii er, the barque, the clipper, and the barquentine is fast passing. Every one that goes down to Davy .lones Is a loss that will not be replaced. I have 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.

The customer will gel the necessary “kick” in trying to pro nounce it.—lndianapolis Star. 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 His rigging might lie Injured, ropes cut or spars smashed, lie begun to roar at us In (tie most profane French When a Frenchman swears you can hear it far off. Then lie saw the Ger man flag at our masthead. He stag gered back with a dramatic gesture that only o Frenchman can achieve. We sank the Antonin just as we sank the others. (TO BE CONTINUED.) 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.
