Up the Danish coast to the Skagerrak
the disguised Steadier sailed; then west¬
ward across the British mine fields and up
along the coasts of England and Scotland.
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. Taking the north¬
erly coarse to the Atlantic, the Seeadler
was blown by the gale far toward the
polar zone and could not be handled be¬
cause of the frozen rigging. But the wind
shifted and on Christmas day they turned
to the south. Then they were stopped
by a British cruiser and two officers
boarded the supposed Norwegian ship and
began » searching examination of tbe crew
and papers. Luckner and his men passed
the test with great success.
CHAPTER III—Continued
— 6 —
“There were rumors at home In Nor¬
way that two cruisers and sixteen
German submarines had put out of
port.”
Tile search officer’s comrade, who
had been looking around the cabin,
came over to us when he heard all
this.
“I think we had better be going,”
he spoke up suddenly.
“Yes,” replied the other, and they
went on deck.
They made no attempt at question¬
ing the sailors or Investigating the
sailors’ belongings.
“Your papers are ail right, captain,”
said tbe search officer, “but you will
have to wait here for an hour until
you get a signal to proceed.”
“Ail right, Mister Officer.”
One of my boys, who was of a pes¬
simistic turn of mind, heard this. As
he walked away from my cabin he
said out loud to himself:
“Everything Is lost.”
Down below were the members of
my oilier crew, waiting in the dark.
They were right beneath tbe floor of
the deck, straining their ears to catch
any word that might give them an
idea how things were going on deck.
They heard the exclamation, “Every¬
thing is lost," and took it for the offi¬
cial word that we were discovered
and for the command to do what was
to be done in that case. They lit the
fuses of the three bombs that were
to blow up the ship, and waited for
the hatches to be opened to let them
on deck to the boats. The fuses
would burn for fifteen minutes.
The British were in their boat now,
trying to push off. But you can’t hold
a sailing siiip in one place like a steam¬
er. She keeps drifting. And the suc¬
tion of the Seeadler as she drifted
held their boat so It couldn’t get away.
What was still worse, it kept slipping
aft, and if it got under our stern,
they would have been sure to see our
propeller. A sailship with a propel¬
ler? Yes, sometimes, but we would
have been done for, ns there was noth¬
ing to that effect In our papers. Seiz¬
ing a rope, I tossed It overboard to¬
ward them.
“Take the rope, Mister Offices, take
the rope,” l shouted as though clums¬
ily trying to help (hem.
That made them look up, go that the
rope might not fall on heir lieads. I
heaved tbe rope Just as they were
sliding around our stern and away.
The officers thanked me, and one of
them, angry with his men for not be¬
ing able to push the boat off, ex¬
claimed :
“I have only fools on my boat.”
“Yes, maybe you have,” 1 thought,
“and maybe you are the worst-fooled
one of all I”
My stomach was quite normal now.
1 was so happy that I even felt as
though i could digest that quid of
tobacco. The men on deck felt like
cheering and singing, but they had or¬
ders to go on about their jobs as
though nothing unusual bad been go¬
ing on, until the cruiser was far and
away. They Just grinned, but so
broad were the grins that I thought
they would split their faces.
My first thought was to bring the
happy news to the boys in the dark¬
ness down below. I went to one of
the secret hatches, which they bad
fastened from within.
“Open.” I shonted.
There were vague sounds below.
“Open up.” I called again.
Then 1 heard a muffled voice say:
“Open the flood valves.”
“What’s that?” I yelled. “What’s
the matter? Open the hatch!”
The hatch opened. I saw troubled
faces. I couid hear water rushing in¬
to tbe ship.
“By Joe,” I shouted, “are you try¬
ing to sink my boat?"
I could hear men running below to
all parts of the ship. I climbed down
roaring. One of the men spoke up.
“They are cutting the fuse3 and
closing the flood valves.”
“Fuses, flood valves, by Joe. How’s
that happen, by Joe?"
Then one of the tnen said: “But
some one called down that all was
lost! Afterward you called ‘open’ and
we thought you meant open the flood
valves.”
The fuses had been burning for
eight minutes out of their fifteen, and
hundreds of gallons of water were
pouring into the ship.
By Joe, I looked for the fellow who
said “All is lost.” tie came forward
at once and confessed.
“I wasn’t calling to the men below.
I merely said it to myself.”
“Why do yon say ‘ail is lost,’ by
Joe, just when everything is fine?”
“Well, captain, when the English¬
man said ttrat we would have to wait
for an hour, I thought to myself that
the game was up. it means that he
is keeping us waiting while he sends
a wireless to Copenhagen asking about
the Irma, when there Is no iruia.”
“By Joe.” 1 said, “that’s right.”
In our excitement, neither I nor my
officers had thought about the wire¬
less. It had not occurred to us to
ask ourselves why we had been or¬
dered to stand by for a whole hour.
We didn’t even think of Lloyd’s Reg¬
ister. The senreh officer might have
gone back to his ship to look up the
Irma in the Register, where there was
no Irma.
For days I had been on deck in the
storm and in the ice regions. For the
past half hour I had gone through
worse turmoil even than that. And
now, when everything seemed clear,
the sky looked black again and that
quid of tobacco started getting In its
dirty work. I went to the rail and'
hung there on my elbows, staring
through my binoculars at the Avenger
and watching for the flag signal. My
hand shook, and instead of only one
I could see three cruisers in my glass.
I handed it to Leudemann and while
he took a look I leaned there with the
code book In my hand, ready to decode
the signal when it came.
I don’t know how long it was, fifteen
minutes or an tiour, but finally three
little lings went up the signal rope.
The Seeadler.
Old imperturable Leudemann steadied
his glass. At last he mude out the
signal:
“T-M-B."
I thumbed the book clumsily. It
seemed as though 1 would never find
T-M-B. But there it was. It meant
“I’lanet." Nonsense. Read the sig¬
nal again.
I was getting weaker and weaker,
whether from the anxiety or from that
quid, I don't know. This time he
read:
“T-X-B.”
Cages, columns, and then the right
place. . . . Continue voyage.
1 felt as though my heart had two
valves instead of one and was pump¬
ing madly through both. I sat down
and breathed heavily. Instead of go¬
ing about their ordinary tasks, my
tnen wanted to yei! like Indians.
Hello, what’s tills? The Avenger,
with her 15,000 tons driven by 100,000
horse-power engines, was racing
straight at us. Huge streams of smoke
and great flames like torches poured
out of her three funnels as her safety
valves blew out from the over-pressure
of her boilers. Just as she got on
top of ua she swerved off. At her
stern flew a signal. 1 did not need a
code book, i knew that signal by
heart—Happy Voyage. We raised the
signal—thanks—and dipped our Nor¬
wegian flag three times.
The British had behaved like gentle¬
men toward us. I thiuk the way they
pointed their guns at us when they
came up to us was a bit of a Joke.
The hour they made us wait was, I
think, to enable them to make wire¬
less inquiries about the story we told
of German cruisers and submarines.
Tbe search officer did his work cour¬
teously and well. No seaman should
try to make another seaman ridic-

torches that burn on the same prin¬
ciple as a lighted candle. That Is to
say, they combine a combustible sub¬

The great advantage enjoyed by the
firefly is that his tail light makes so
little heat; it can fairly be called
“cold light.”
The substance consumed to produce
the firefly's light is luciferin. The
shining of fireflies, and of other an¬
imals and plants, used to be called
phosphorescence, because it looks like

uiotts. We were disguised so well that
he could have suspected nothing. In
liis place, I should have been fooled
exactly ns he was, nnd so would any
other officer.
“And new, boys, let’s celebrate
Christmas!"
We dumped our deck load ot lum¬
ber into the sea, and cleared the deck
for a big time. 1 had a Christmas
tree that I had brought from hoipa.
We set it up. Before the Seeadler
left port, Fraulein Bertha Krupp had
sent us a huge box full of Christmas j
presents, something for every man.
We opened It and found clothing, ci¬
gars, pipes, cigarettes, cigar holders,
knives, liquor, soft drinks, nnd mu¬
sical instruments.
It was the merriest Christmas of
our lives. Singing “Yo-ho” nnd cheered
up with many good bottles of rum, we
headed south to play our role as buc¬
caneers.
CHAPTER IV
We Capture the Gladys Royal
and the Lundy Island
“All hands on deck!"
Aloft my boys flew, into the rigging
and up the ratlines like monkeys.
“Loose the fore-taups’I I” boomed up
from the quarter deck.
“All gone, the fore-tausp’l,” they
sang out.
“Loose the ga’nts’ls and stnys’Is!”
The sails were sheeted home and
were filling out. We didn’t lose much
time in getting her away. Lying over
on her beam ends and running before
the wind, we set our course for Ma¬
deira,
We knew that Just off Gibraltar
would be one of our best hunting
grounds, so we cleared away the re¬
mains of our Norwegian camouflage,
and after a few days we were as
spick and clean and orderly ns a Ger¬
man auxiliary cruiser should be. We
were the Irma no longer, but the See¬
adler now, although I felt a pang of
regret nt letting go the name that had
served us so well and brought us luck.
There was constant labor on the
motor. The lubricating oil we had
was of poor quality. Ofl, like many
other things, had become scarce In
Germany. Our enterprise had the en¬
thusiastic support of only a few of the
officials at the admiralty. The others
thought it certainly foredoomed to fail¬
ure, and did not want to risk too much
ou it. Among these were tbe heads
of the department that supplied us
witli oil. A sailing vessel under the
pressure of sail nearly always lists to
one side. The work of the motor was
hampered by a leaning position. We
sailed most of the time throughout our
cruise with the motor dismantled and
under repairs.
We had only two guns, and only one
at a time could be brought into action
against an enemy. Our orders were
to attack sailing ships only. Wind
Jammer against steamship was con¬
sidered a ridiculous idea. We would
not need great broadsides of cannon in
capturing sailing vessels. We tried
to make up for our lack of gun power
by skill and precision in hnndling the
guns we had. Our gun crew worked
incessantly at drill and target prac¬
tice, and schooled themselves to such
quickness and accuracy of fire that
the power of our armament, in effect,
was doubled.
Our lookout posts were excellent.
We had a crow’s nest with a comfort¬
able seat high up on the mast Only
a man at ease watches well. A sec¬
ond lookout was on the foremast,
where a petty officer was perched. I
offered ten pounds sterling and a bot¬
tle of champagne to whoever should
report a ship first. A Jealous rivalry
grew up between the lookouts. In
each raged a tremendous thirst for
that bottle of champagne. All day
long eager eyes swept the horizon.
On January 9, oft Gibraltar, the
shout rang out:
“Ship ahoy.”
On our larboard side was a large
steamer heading toward us. Flying
our Norwegian colors, we turned to
meet her. She flew no flag and car¬
ried no name. The British were the
only people who sent their boats out
without names. She looked of Brit¬
ish build, too. Our orders were not
to tackle steamers. Well, you can
promise a lot. We raised the signal:
“Chronometer time, please.”
A sailing ship long away from port
rarely has the correct time. Our re¬
quest was reasonable enough. The
steamer signaled that she understood
us, and came to the windward so that:
we could heave to. I wore my great¬
coat to conceal my uniform. Those of
the crew that had rifles hid themselves
behind the railings.
The steamer came near, ready to
give the sleepy old Norwegian the
time.
“Shall we tackle him?” I asked one
of my sailors who was crouched next
to me peering through a loophole.
“Sure, let’s take him. He’s an Eng¬
lishman.”

Luciferin really means “light-bearer.”
By Itself it does not glow, but a sec¬

present in all luminous organisms,
causes it to combine with oxygen, and
this makes the luminescence.

A PSALM OF PRAISE
LESSON TEXT—Psalm 103:1-22.
GOLDEN TEXT—Bless the Lord, O
my soul.
PRLMAR? TOPIC—A Song of Pmh,e.
JUNIOR TOPIC—A Song of Praise.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP¬
IC—The Privilege of Worshiping <i'd
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP¬
IC—The Habit of Thankfulness.
This beautiful psalm of praise fol¬
lows one of the importunate pleadings
for help in time of great need. An¬
drew Bonnr calls it “A Song of a Re¬
deemed One by the Redeemer’s Side.”
It is entirely given up to praise; not a
single supplication being found in it.
I. Adoration for Personal Benefits
(vr. 1-5).
The Psalmist calls upon Ids soul to
bless God’s holy mime. Man’s whole
nature, intellectually and spiritually, is
called upon to adore God. Note the
beneliis recognized by the Psalmist:
1. "Forglveth all thine iniquities”
(v. 3) Pardon of our sins is the most
important of all God’s benefits.
2. “Healeth all thy diseases” (v. 3).
Healing here refers to that of (he
body and the soul. Renovation of the
entire nature, especially the moral, fo)
lows forgiveness of sins.
3. “Redeemeth thy life from destruc¬
tion” (v. 4). The sinner is in the
position of a debtor. All the demands
made against him because of Ills sins,
were paid by Jesus Christ.
4. “Orownetl) (hee with loving kind¬
ness” (v. 4). The redeemed one nc.t
only has forgiveness of sins, but is in¬
vested with the full rights of heaven
ly citizenship.
5. “Satistieth thy mouth” (v. 5).
When one enters into saving relation¬
ship with Christ he does not incur loss,
hut great gain, lie is not deprived of
any rights.
(I. Praise for God’s Excellencies
(vv. 0-13).
The Psalmist now looks away from
the benefits bestowed to die very
quality of die being who bestowed
them.
1. His Justice (v. (i).
“He executedi righteousness.” God
is always against the oppressor and
on tile side of the oppressed. This points
to the time wiien Messiah's reign shall
extend over die whole world.
2. He reveals I-limself (v. 7). This
He did in a peculiar way to Moses nnd
the children of Israel. The very name
Jehovah means Self-revealing One
(Ex. 3:14). God created man in Ills
likeness nnd Image In order that He
might not only reveal Himself, hut
that He might share His goodness with
the creature.
3. Merciful nnd gracious (v. 8). As
a sinner man needs pardon and favor.
God in IBs mercy pardons die sinner
who calls upon Him and through His
grace He bestows favors upon him
4. Not always contending (v. !!)
God’s love for liis children moves Him
to contend with diem. When they
turn from their sin, lie censes to chas¬
ten thorn. God holds no grudges, lie
forgets our stubborn follies os soon
ns we turn from them.
5. Gods forgiveness (vv. 10-13).
This forgiveness is manifested in
Ilfs not dealing with us according to
our sins, in showing supreme mercy.
In putting away sin us far as the East
is from the West, and in fatherly pity
We usually think to praise God fot
what He lias done. How much we
ought to praise Him for what He has
refrained from doing.
III. Man’s Frailty and God’s Eter
nity (vv. 14-19).
1. liis frailty (vv. 14-1C).
(1) He Is hut dust (v. 14). God con
stltuted man’s body out of the dust
of the ground, therefore He knows tils
frailty. (2) His days are ns grass
(v. 15). He flourishes as the (lower of
rhe field. As the grass disappears tin
der a blighting wind (v. 1(5). so a
small blast from God will destroy
man’s life.
2. God's eternity (vv. 17-19). God’s
goodness and mercy are from ever
lasting to everlasting. This goodness
and mere.v He shows from generation
to generation.
IV. Call to Universal Thanksgiving
(vv 20-22).
Since His dominion is over all. It
calls for recognition h.v all.
1. Angels (v. 20). Intelligent spirits
that hear His messages and go on His
errands are called upon to praise and
adore Him.
2. His hosts (v. 21). Ry hosts here
is likely meant the sun, moon and
stars. They are called upon to give
Him due praise (Ps. 19:1).
3. His works (v. 22).
Whatever He has done, whether In
creation, providence or redemption,
liis works made hr own his goodness

Climax Put Too Much
Strain on Credulity
George Cohan said in a Y. M. C. A.
address in Brooklyn on play-writing:
“Then there are climaxes. We must
have rousing climaxes, of course. But
the trouble with most of these rousing
climaxes is that they nre false.
“Like the grizzly bear story.
“Over the campfire in the mountains
a young guide told a party of New
York millionaires about a fight he’d
had with a grizzly.
“ ‘Yes, gents,’ the young fellow said,
and lie gave a satisfied chuckle—‘yes,
it was my first grizzly, so I was natch
erly gol-darn proud to kill him in a
hand-to-hand mixup. Just my bare
hands I had, that's all. We started to
tight at sunrise. When he breathed
his lust the sun was goln’ down.’
“The guide paused. He looked from
face to face. Then he said slowly:
“‘For (he second time.’”
The Trouble-Seeker
William S. Yare, the Pennsylvania
political leader, was congratulated, at
a luncheon In Philadelphia, on his
amiability, a trait which makes liis
yoke pleasant to bear.
“Well,” the senator-elect said, “I
don’t go round looking for trouble,
certainly. I try not to resemble An¬
thony Trollope.
“At fi literary dinner in London Ed¬
mund Yates was holding forth to a
group of literuteurs at one end of the
table when Trollope roared at him
from the other:

What was it that you said?’ ’’—Detroit

Her Lucky Day
When Mr. iind Mrs. Irving T. Clark,
of Rochester, N. Y., arrived at I’erry,
N, Y., on a motor trip that had iu
vtided East Aurora. Mrs. Clark was
greatly alarmed to find her $1,000 dia¬
mond ring, and heirloom, missing. She
searched the hotel at East- Aurora,
where she had' had dinenr. The ring
could not lie found in the hotel, so Mr.
and Mrs. Clark returned to East Au¬
rora. They found the ring near the
curl) in front of Hie hotel, where it
had lain for hours, unnoticed.
Diamond’s Origin
According to Greek legend, the dia¬
mond owed Its origin to a beautiful,
pure-minded Greek youth of that
