Berlin Man Selects Region

Berlin, Oct. 2S.-Joseph Brucker.
the German-American Journalist,
who is fitting out an airship expe-
dition for a westbound flight across
the Atlantic in February, thinks
that inefficient meteorological ad-

failure of Mr.. Wellman's attempt.
Mr.. Bruckner's airship, the Suchard,
is approaching completion at Mu-
Mich.
The entire equipment will be ship
ped to the Canary islands at the end
of the year and the start westward
will. it is stated, be made in the full
moon week of February.
The Suchard is 200 feet long, and
has $500 cubic meters gas capacity.
Dependent from it is motor boat
50 feet long and 10 feet wide. Two
2OO-horsepower motors will drive
the airship by means of two propei-
lers. Mr.. Brucker said on Thurs
day:

for a transatlantic flight the region

one man stepped back and stood
motionless, their hands at theiI
sides. looked once at the Arabs;
they were crouching low in the fly
ing dhow-waiting Suddenly a
white cloud spat from the guns long
nose, something splashed in the sea
close to the dhow's side and we
heard the dull boom. All Arabs
are philosophers, and those in the
dhow knew the futility of sails as
against steam-of small arms used
against a long gun that wore can
vas jacket and worked on wheels.
The "Lapwing" did not fire again.
Pulling about. the Arabs calmly low
cred their sail, lit fresh cigarets and
waited. Alongside came the Lap
wing, fresh in white paint and
polished brass, her twin screws
whipping the sea to froth as she re-
versed and then lay to. The long
gun that had worn the canvas jacket
stuck it's ugly nose right down at
the native craft, while the Lapwing's
crew lowered a boat filled with a
boarding party. In ten minutes the
British had searched the dhOw, torn
open a score of long, heavy packing
cases and thrown their contraband
contents into the sea- The lightened
dhow put about, and tackled back
for Maskat. Tomorrow the owners
would curse their loss and report to
the Political resident.
In 1909. according to secret SER
vice reports, the British seized over
$4,000 small arms. and millions of
rounds of ammunition, from Arab
gun runners in the Persian Gulf.
No other region in all the wide,
wet world of salt water has seen so
much piracy. murder and strife as
this reeking, rock-bOund Persian

ten centuries long. Hundreds OF
years before Christ Sennacherib set
the pirates a pace that has been kept
ever since. Hormuz alone, even
after Sinbad's time, was famous

When the English became too nu-
merous for their Portuguese fellow
robbers the latter were expelled
from the treasure island, with its
forts, towers and caves and the En-
glish seized the place. 1t was a busy
day, if we are to take the early jour
nalists seriously. One chronlcler or
that time says: "Mr. Baffin went a

her, high-pooped baggala-the
same type of craft that Sinbad used
to sail, and in use to this day among
the Arabs in the Persian Gulf. Her
big, dirty gray sail bellied full be-

she was splitting through the blue
salt water at a spanking clip. Hud-

Arabs; sprawling on a coil of rope

The Arabs had a start of perhaps
five miles over the British patrol

undetected they often cross the Cult

the ''Lapwing' had spotted this par

out to sea, where capture would be
easy. To turn about and run back
to the Arab coast, among whose
rocks and bays the gunboat could
not venture, would have been sure
salvation for the smugglers; but the
wind would have been against the
Arabs had they turned; and, besides,
the gunboat had now cut Off any
such retreat. There was nothing to
do but run for it--and trust to AL

spun his wheel over and we turned
eastward ourselves, keeping in line
with the Arab craft to see the finish
of the chase. The "Lapwing' was
