COUNT LUCKNER
THE SEA DEVIL
Dtvubled&y, Copyright Doran by & Co. By LOWELL 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.
CHAPTER II.—Continued
It would have looked suspicious for
a naval officer to be directing work
of this kind with such Infinite pains,
80 at the ship yards I posed as Herr
yon Eckmann, inspector of the naval
Ministry.
An old retired captain of the Ship
Inspection service happened to be
stopping in tiie same hotel, ills love
for his old profession caused him to
take a most embarrassing interest In
»y work. One day, he met a bona
fide ship inspector aud asked him
whether he knew me.
“Von Eckmann? Let's see, 1 know
everybody In the service. There Is no
Von Eckmann on the roster.”
"Then,” blurted out the old captain,
“he must be a spy. I always said he
had a typically English face. I’ll
watch him.”
Through mistake, two letters came
for me without the usual cover ad¬
dress. Both of them gave my full
name and rank, i argued with the
head waiter, trying to get him to give
me the letters for delivery to “my
friend. Count Luckner.” The old cap¬
tain happened to be snooping near by,
although I didn’t know it By now,
anything I did was suspicious. He
already had me hung and quartered as
hls country’s arch enemy.
"What did that fellow want?” he In¬
quired of the head waiter.
"He asked me to give him the let¬
ters for Lieutenant Commander Count
ron Luckner.”
“Ha 1”
I suspected nothing. That evening
l took the train for Bremen. A de¬
tective entered my compartment and
demanded my papers. I gave them to
him.
“Count von Luckner,” he exclaimed,
astonished and embarrassed, “I must
have made a mistake. 1 am looking
for a spy from Geestemunde.”
I grew worried. Could It be that
enemy secret agents were watching
the work on my auxiliary cruiser?
“Where was the spy reported?”
“He lives at Beermann’s hotel.”
That was my hotel. The spy was
watching me. I told him that I would
take upon myself the responsibility of
saying that there were the most ur¬
gent reasons why this spy must be
caught, and that he must wire his
principals that the utmost vigilance
must be used.
“We already have the railroad cov¬
ered at both ends. But we will in¬
crease our precautions," he replied.
“The spy will surely be caught.”
In Bremen at Hillman’s hotel I was
again stopped by a detective who de¬
manded my papers. Again my papers
confounded and bewildered him.
"The description of the spy fits yon
exactly,” he said.
Once more I urged that the head¬
quarters of the secret police be com¬
manded to catch the secret agent at
any cost.
At the Troeadero, I sat with a bottle
of wine in front of me. A provost
officer with two men in uniform came
op to me.
“Come with os. You are under ar¬
rest"
1 flew into a rage at these repeti¬
tions of stupidity, as I thought them
to be.
“I am a naval ofiicer."
"You are a spy. Come with us!”
The usual spy mania spread through¬
out the restaurant. Blows were
threatened, chairs were brandished,
and there were shouts of “Kill the
spy, kill him!” on all sides. If the
officers hadn’t fought the crowd off, I
would have been badly beaten.
At headquarters I was shown a de¬
scription and even a picture of myself.
So there was no doubt but what I was
their man.
' “Dnder what name does this spy
travel?” I demanded.
“Under the name of Marine In¬
spector von Eckmann.”
“Why, 1 am he.”
“But you just said you were Count
von Luckner.”
I was compelled, with great injunc¬
tions of secrecy, to take them into
my confidence, and had them tele¬
phone the admiralty for confirmation.
The prying oid captain at Geeste
munde soon took himself to other
parts—by request!
As I explained, my plan was to slip
through the British blockade as a ueu
tral and if possible disguised as some
other ship that actually existed. There
happened to be a Norwegian vessel
that was almost a dead ringer for
the Pass of Balmaha. She was sched¬
uled to sail from Copenhagen. I de¬
cided that we would take her name,
and sail the day before she sailed, so
that if the British caught us and wire¬
lessed to Copenhagen to coGfirm our
story they would receive word that
#uch a craft had left port at the time
we claimed. This other ship was
named the Maleta. For some time she
had been discharging grain from the
Argentine. From Denmark she was
to proceed to Christiania and there
pick up a cargo. Why not a cargo
of lumber for Melbourne?
I went to Copenhagen, donned old
clothes, and got a job as a dock wal¬
loper on the pier where the real Ma¬
leta was moored. That enabled me
to study her. There was one thing
that promised to be difficult to coun¬
terfeit, That was the log book. This
precious volume contained the life his¬
tory of the Maleta, when she left the
Argentine, what kind of cargo she car¬
ried, what course she steered, the
wind, the weather, observations of sun
and stars, etc., etc. That log book
must be in the captain’s cabin and I
must have it. But a watchmnn was
stationed aft, so how could it be done?
I discovered that the captain and
both mates were still In Norway with
their families. So it would be some
days before the loss of the book would
be noticed—if I got It.
So one night, In the uniform of a
customs inspector, l stole aboard the
Maleta. The watchman, as usual, was
sitting near the captain’s cabin. The
ship was moored to the pier with
ropes fore and aft. Stealthily 1 tip¬
toed to the bow and cut the ropes, not
quite through but almost. A stiff wind
was blowing. The ropes cracked and
broke. The ship swung around. The
watchman ran forward shouting, and
at the same moment I ran aft fum¬
bling around the captain’s cabin I at
first failed to locate the log. Finally.
I discovered It under the skipper’s
mattress. Shoving it beneath toy belt,
l slipped out.
On board now, and also on the pier,
half a dozen men were shouting and
throwing ropes to haul her back so
she wouldn’t side-swipe a near-by ship.
I joined in the shouting, pretended to
help them for a minute, theu clam¬
bered on to the dock and hurried off
In the dark.
We now p^t on the final touches
that were to tern the Buss of Balmaha
into the Maleta. We painted her the
same color as the Maleta, arranged
her deck the same, and decorated the
cabins with the same ornaments. In
my captain’s cabin, I hung pictures
of the king and queen of Norway and
also of their jovial relative, King Ed¬
ward VII of England. The barometer,
thermometer, and chronometer, and all
the other instruments were of Nor¬
wegian make. 1 had a Norwegian li¬
brary and a Norweigian phonograph
and records. We had enough pro¬
visions from Norwegian firms le last
us through the blockade. It would
hardly do to have any Bismarck her¬
ring, sauerkraut, and pretzels In sight
if tbe British boarded us, woulj it?
The names of the tailors aewj In¬
side my suits and my officers’ jults
were replaced with labels from Nor¬
wegian tailors. On my underclothing
we embroidered the name of the cap¬
tain of the Maleta—Knudsen.
1 had learned in Copenhagen that
a donkey engine was being installed
on the Maleta. Very well, we g<>t a
donkey engine of the same make from
Copenhagen and Installed It on our
ship. The log book of the Maleta was
solemnly put in place, and the first
entry was made, “Today put in a new
donkey engine."
We got up our cargo papers In reg¬
ular form, signed and sealed by both
the Norwegian port authorities and
British consul. We also had a letter
signed by his majesty’s consul at Co¬
penhagen stating that the Maleta was
carrying lumber for the use of the
government of the Commonwealth of
Australia. The letter requested all
British ships to help us If any emer¬
gency arose. To prove that this doc¬
ument was genuine, It was even
stamped with the British Imperial
seal (made in Germany!).
1 also had a letter which a British
officer had supposedly written to my
shipowner and which my shipowner
had forwarded to me, warning us
against German search officers, but ad¬
vising us to place our trust in the
British I
A sailor with the loneliness of the
sea upon him nearly always takes
with him on his voyages photographs
of his people. Now the crews on Brit¬
ish warships know sailor ways, so I
inquired all about the procedure from
captains of neutral ships who had had
their ships searched. They told me
that the British always inspected the
to’c’sle to sea that everything looked
right there. I Immediately got togeth¬
er a lot of photographs to pass as
those of Norwegian sailors’ parents,
brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts,
sweethearts, wives and mothers-in-law.
What did it matter whether the sweet¬
hearts were good looking or not? Sail¬
ors’ sweethearts are not always prize
beauties. We sent a man to Norway
for the pictures in order to have the
names of Norwegian photographers
stamped on them.
The British are smart people, by
Joe, and they know how to search a
ship. They attach special Importance
to sailors’ letters. The sailor eagerly
looks forward to the letter he will re¬
ceive at the next port. He never
throws the letters away either, but al¬
ways keeps a stack of them In his
sea chest. Sometimes you will see
him reading a letter that his mother
sent him eight years before. So we
had to get up a whole set of letters
CLEVELAND COURIER
MURDER COUPLE „
LIVING BEHIND
ARMORED DOOR
New York Police Suspect Re¬
venge as Motive for Spec¬
tacular Killing.
New York.—A rat-tat-tat of revol¬
ver shots whined out suddenly In a
waterfront neighborhood In Queens.
Then the thud of a heavy mass pound¬
ing against an obstructing wall and
the crash of she wall giving way. The
sinister rattle of shots again and si¬
lence.
The residents of the nearby ram¬
shackle houses rushed to doors and
windows and saw a group of four or
five men hurry into a car and drive
away. Police were called and in a
first-floor asviirtment they found the
bodies of Samuel Sacco, thirty-five,
and bis wife, Rose, thirty-one, both
riddled with bullets.
Evidently Feared Fate.
Sacco lay on the floor of the bed¬
room. In hls hand was a revolver,
witli which tie had presumably tried
to defend himself. His wife, whom he
had married last September, was dead
in her bed. Bullets had spattered the
walls and ceiling and crashed through
windows.
Some such fate Sacco had evidently
feared. The door to his apartment
was covered with a thin sheet of steel
to keep out bullets. But, steel and all,
It had been ripped from its hinges and
hurled to the floor.
It was evident from bullet marks on
the walls near the door that the mur¬
dered man, waiting behind his steel
roinforced wall, had fired back at his
attackers until he died.
The police searched their records
and decided that it was a revenge
massacre, going hack for its motive to
1917. At that time Sacco's brother,
for our “Norwegian” sailors, each set
totally different from the other.
Of course, the stolen log of the Ma¬
leta gave us a lot of useful informa¬
tion about her crew, and onr fake let
ters were made to tally with tills in¬
formation. Women in the admiralty
and foreign offices who knew Norwe¬
gian wrote them for us. We got old
Norwegian stamps and Norwegian
postmarks of various ports the letter
were supposed to have been sent to.
Then we aged the letters In chemi¬
cals, tore and smudged some of them.
1 picked as my officers men who
like myself had spent long years be¬
fore the mast, who knew Norwegian,
and were of the right spirit. First Of¬
ficer Kling had been a member of the
Filchner expedition, in which he had
distinguished himself. The officer
whom I selected to go aboard captured
ships was a former comrade of mine,
a fellow of six feet four, whom I met
by chance on a dock. In response to
my question whether he wanted to ac¬
company me, tie asked:
“is It one of those trips that Is like¬
ly to send you to heaven?”
“Yes.”
“Then Bra with you. My name is
Preiss, and you are after prizes. So
I’ll bring you luck.”
M.v artillery and navigation officer,
Lieutenant Klrcheiss, was a wizard
uavigator. Engineer Krauss was our
motor expert. The boatswain, the
carpenter, and the cook, the three
mainstays of a voyage in a sailing
vessel, 1 picked with like care. Of the
tuen who were to go with me l only
needed twenty-seven with a knowledge
of Norwegian. There were just twen¬
ty-seven aboard the real Maleta. In
selecting my men, I Interviewed each
candidate personally but gave him no
hint of why I wanted him. I tried to
read these men’s souls In order to dis¬
cover In them the qualities of courage
and endurance that would be needed.
Now we needed a name for our raid¬
er. We needed one that she could
take for her official name as an aux¬
iliary cruiser after running the block¬
ade. 1 wanted to coll her the Albat¬
ross out of gratitude to the albatross
that saved me from drowning when 1
was a lad. But I discovered that
there was already n vessel with that
name, a mine layer. Then 1 wanted
to call the ship the Sea Devil, the
name by which I personally was after¬
ward to be called. My officers favored
some name that would suggest the
white wings of our sallship, So we
compromised on Seeadler, or Sea
Eagle.
On a pitch-dark November night, the
Seeadler, with a small emergency
crew, raises anchor and sails out of
the mouth of the Weser into the North
Seu. There, some distance offshore,
we drop anchor.
At a remote place along the docks
at WUhelmshaven, men appear one by
one. By the light of a dimly burning
lantern I gather my crew.
Next morning a scow of lumber lay
alongside, and we stacked timber to a
height of six feet over all the deck,
and fastened it down with wire und
chains.
Every man had Ids role. Every man
must now prove his mettle as an actor.
Officers and sailors were given the
names of officers and sailors aboard
the Maleta. They had to get used to
their new names. Fritz Meyer was
now Ole Johnsen, Miller became
Bjornsen, Hans Lehinau became Lars
(’arisen, and they knew me only as
Captain Knudsen. We had long prac¬
tice drills until the new names slid
off our tongues without getting stuck.
Each man also had to learn a lot
about hls native town that he never
knew before 1 I had already assem¬
bled as much Information as I could
about the towns listed In the stolen
log book, and the rest vve invented.
Each man bad to learn the names of
the main streets of his town, the prin¬
cipal hotels, taverns, and drug stores,
as well as the names of the mayor
und other officials. Much of this sort
of material had already been woven
into the letters we had prepared for
the sailors. Each man had to famil¬
iarize himself with the set of photo¬
graphs that had been allotted to him,
and the names of them all, the con¬
tents of his letters, and fix in his mind
a whole new past life, according to
the life of a sailor of the real Maleta
whose role he was to play.
(TO BE CONTINUED.)
The Birth of London
No one can say when London be¬
gan ; the beginning is lost in the mists
cf time. London is first mentioned in
a passage in Tacitus, a Roman his¬
torian whose uncle, General Agicola,
spent most of his active military ca¬
reer In Britain, Tacitus describes the
Roman London of A. D. 61 when It
was sacked by Queen Boadicea—the
British warrior-queen.
It is one of the strangest things in
London’s history, that she should first
appear at the moment when she was
sacked by a British queen, and that
that queen’s statue should now stand
in a place of honor under the palace
of Westminster, looking down the
Thames. It is strange, but it marks
that peculiar position of London as
the meeting place of the races out ol
which the English people were made,
Both Riddled With Bullets.
Joseph, was shot and killed and a
man named De Lucca was arrested in
upper Manhattan by police. He was
questioned and released.
A short time afterward De Lucca
died at the hand of an assassin and
Sacco was arrested, tried, convicted of
second degree murder and sent away
for a term of 20 years.
Released From Prison.
With time off for good conduct he
was released from Sing Sing last sum¬
mer, after having served a little over
10 years. He married last September
and took liis wife to Astoria, away
from the Harlem neighborhood, where
De Lucca’s friends still lived, and
nursed their plans for revenge.
Search for the killers immediately
shifted from Queens to Harlem.
A stream of about a dozen telephone
calls, coming almost simultaneously at
7:40 a. m., informed the police that a
tragedy had occurred. Detectives re¬
sponding found an excited group of
Italian residents shouting “Murder!”
They filled the street in front of the
house and policemen were called In
from adjoining posts to restore order.
From the crowd it was difficult to
obtain a consecutive account of what
they had observed.
Digging further into the records,
police came on still another theory to
account for the double slaying.
While in Sing Sing Sacco le-arned
of plans for a jail break. He in¬
formed tha authorities, and as a re¬
sult four convicts were captured try¬
ing to make their getaway. This deed
freed Sacco earlier than he would
otherwise have been. Fellow convicts
had suspected him of being instru¬
mental in foiling the attempted break,
and police believed that they or thrfr
friends may have committed the mur¬
der in revenge.

I. Jeremiah In Stocks (20:1-6).
He had predicted the downfall of
Jerusalem because of the disobedi¬
ence of the people (19:4-14, 15).
Pashur, an officer of the temple,
heard him. Pashur gave Jeremiah a
cruel beating and placed him In
stocks. “Stocks” was on instrument
of torture, confining the legs- in a
cramped position. On being released
the next day, Jeremiah predicted the
terror which was to be Pashur’s por¬
tion. liis words were literally ful¬
filled (vv. 4-6).
II. Jeremiah in Prison in Jonathan’s
House (37:11-21).
lie was arrested by Irijah as he
was about to leave Jerusalem on an
errand, lie was charged with desert¬
ing to the Chaldeans. While here in
prison, King Zedekiah secretly con¬
sulted with him and ordered lenient
treatment.
III. Jeremiah in the Dungeon (38:1-
13).
1. He predicts the capture of Jeru¬
salem (vv. 1-3).
(1) To whom (v. 1)?
Jeremiah had been taken out of the
prison by the king (37:17) and or¬
dered to the court of the prison
(37:21). Here the people seem to
have had free access to him (32:12).
From tills place of limited confine¬
ment Jeremiah announced to the peo¬
ple their approaching captivity.
2. Counsel given (vv. 2, 3).
n. All that remain in the city shall
die by the sword, famine and pesti¬
lence.
b. He that goeth forth to the Chal¬
deans shall live. “He shall have liis
life for a prey,” doubtless means that
he shall escape with his life, though
losing all else.
2. Jeremiah accused by the princes
(vv. 4, 5).
(1) lie weakened the hands of the
men and all the people (v. 4). From
a human standpoint what they said
was true, but since Jeremiah was but
the interpreter of God to the nation,
they ought to have heeded his advice
to surrender.
(2) Tills man seeketh not the wel¬
fare of this people, but the hurt (v. 4).
This charge was utterly false. Jere¬
miah was the best friend of the peo¬
ple, for he faithfully proclaimed to
them God’s judgment and advised
them how to make the best of their
unfortunate situation.
3. The king’s cowardly act (v. 5).
The very one whom Jeremiah was
trying to help, deserted him. The
king was afraid of the Chaldeans, the
princes, Jeremiah, and God.
4. Jeremiah cast into the dungeon
(v. 6).
This seems to have been a cistern
which had been emptied of Us water
during the siege, leaving only mire.
Into this mire lie sank, possibly up to
his neck. The purpose was to let
Jeremiah die there. In this situation
he is a type of Christ (Bsa. 69). No
one ever suffered more unjustly, save
Jesus Christ.
5. Jeremiah rescued from the dun¬
geon (vv. 7-13).
(1) By Ebed-Melech, an African
servant (vv. 7-9).
The Jewish prophet, whom hls own
countrymen tried to destroy, is saved
by a Gentile. Though Ebed-Melech
had a colored skin, he was the whitest
man in Jerusalem. He went to the
king and boldly declared that the
princes had done evil in imprisoning
Jeremiah.
(2) The method (vv. 10-13).
The king yielded to his request and
furnished a guard to prevent inter¬
ference with the work of rescue. He
let down soft rags and wornout gar¬
ments by ropes and instructed Jere¬
miah to put. them under his armholes
and under the ropes to prevent injury
to him as he was being lifted up. He
was lifted out of the dungeon and
given the freedom of the prison court.
IV. Jeremiah In Egypt (vv. 43:1-7).
His closing years were spent In
Egypt. He was taken there by .To
hanan, where he continued his minis¬
try. He seems to have been unpopu¬
lar there. Tradition has it that he
was stoned to death by the Jews in
Egypt
Rewards Awaiting
When we land on the bleak shore
of disappointment we shall make the
wonderful discovery that the Savior
has anticipated onr coming and has
made ample provision. There will be
heavenly cordials, and there will be
comforts of grace, and there will be
the exhilarating wine of a new hope.

The city of Lowell, Mass., once the
center of the cotton weaving industry,
has adapted itself to the new order of

gaged in the manufacture of cotton
goods that are now turning out rayon
in large quantities. A study of tha
basic principles of rayon treatment
Mis whirled in the public schools many
years ago, witli the result that many

THREE RULES
Dr. Caldwell watched the results of
constipation for 47 years, and believed
that no matter how careful people are
of their health, diet and exercise, con¬
stipation will occur from time to time.
Of next importance, then, is how to treat
it when it comes. Dr. Caldwell always
was in favor of getting as close to nature
as possible, hence his remedy for consti¬
pation is a mild vegetable compound. It
can not harm the most delicate system
and is not habit forming. of dras¬
The Doctor never did approve
tic physics and purges. He did not believe
they were good for human beings to put
into their system. Use Syrup Pepsin for
yourself and members of the family in
constipation, biliousness, sour and crampy
stomach, bad breath, no appetite, head¬
aches, and to break up fevers and colds.
Get a bottle today, at any drugstore and
observe these three rules of health: Keep
the head cool, the feet warm, the bowels
open. For a free trial bottle, MonUceUo. just write
