Modern Seafaring
Story Would Do Credit
to Eighteenth Century
b New York—Seafaring: of the sort that
in the early eighteenth cen
tury when a foremost hand was virtually
a slave and his brawny skipper, armed
with a belaying pin, his undisputed mas
ter was described in federal court here
Tuesday by John W. Campbell, a 22-
year-old high school boy of Manuoketa.
lowa, who answered the call of the seas
and ran away from home with Skipper
Adolph C. Pedersen as cabin boy on the
antiquated barkentine Puako.
Campbell was the first witness for the
government which has charged Pedersen
and his son. Adolph mate of the Puako.
in an oldfashioned indictment, with the
murder on the high seas of Axel Hansen,
a seaman. They are alleged to ha\*e
driven Hansen overhoard by cruelty and
to have left him to perish in the sea.
An old English-stvie prisoner's dock
had been constructed in the courtroom
to match the antiquated form of the in
dictment which used to carry the penalty
on conviction, of hanging on a public
gallows. Skipper and son were permit
ted to leave the dock, however, and take
seats beside their council when Camp
bell began his testimony.
After reciting how the lure of the
sea had drawn him from his studies
and led him to embark with Skipner
Pedersen at Victoria. R C.. as cabin
boy, Campbell was asked to recite what
happened on board the bark Puake on
the morning of August fi. 1918 as the lit
tle vessel clipped through the waves
with all sails set for Capetown, South
Africa.
"I came on deck at 4 a. m.. to stand
watch," Carnpoeil began.
"Jack Joe, Henry Riley and Axel Han
sen were on the same watch and were
already on deck.
"The captain’s son who was in charge
told Hansen to go aloft and loose the
royals. Hanson went aloft and loosened
the sail. Tie then came down and 1
saw him talking to the mate.
"Suddenly I heard a sharp sound as if
one man slapping another’s face. Then
I Haw the mate strike and kick Hansen
and Hansen came racing down the deck
with the mate behind him. When he
got to the starboard side, near the stern.

he slipped under the rail and went over
board."
The mate, Campbell continued, ran to
the wheel and ordered Jack Joe to bring
the ship about but a moment later
Skipper Pedersen appeared, looked over
the stern of the bark where Hansen was
clinging to a log line and then turned
to the helmsman demanding to know
who ordered him to swing the ship
around.
"There is a man overboard and the
second mate told me to swing the wheel
about" Campbell said Joe answered.
"To hell with the man overboard"
Campbell declared the skipper yelled.
"Then" the witness continued, "he or
dered Jack Joe to turn the boat back
into its course and picking up a tiller
pin ordered both Riley and myself to
go below. As 1 started forward 1 looked
back In the sea and saw Hansen strug
gling at the end of the log line and I
heard him shriek for help three times.
The vessel continued on its course and
Hanson was left to perish in the sou."
The Puako left Campbell and Cape
town while he was ill in hospital, be
explained, and he went to the American
consul and made a statement similar in
detail to his testimony Tuesday.
Puring the trip to Capetown, he de
clared. every man on board with the
exception of himself and the ship’s car
penter were taken below and after be
ing placed in irons wert beaten unti/
their bodies were covered with wits. A
heavy piece of wire and a razor strop,
he testified, were employed by th skip
per and his son to administer th pun
sliment. They ealso kicked the prisoners
with their heavy hoots, he declared.
Skipper Pedersen, he said, referred to
the punishment as the "third degree.”
