try he faced starvation. was pursued
by German officers. was beaten by
sailors. nearly shipwrecked. escaped

Krause never lost hope and finally
reached Ell Paso, q town he never
had heard of in Germany, and only
q few days ago arrived in Fort Worth,
where he wants to become q captain
OF industry and . naturalized Ameri-
can citizen.
When Krause left his home In Ber-
lin he first went to Hamburg. where
he played hide and seek with the po-
lice and other officers and between
times tried to get work. Despite rigid
economy Krause soon was reduced to
eight cents, and he was getting des-
perate when he obtained q position
as mess boy on board a Hamburg
American line vessel. This ship first
took him to Spanish ports and later
to Tampico. Mex. On the way the
vessel encountered severe storms and
the crew prepared to abandon the
ship. Krause thought his end had
come. but the ship weathered the
gale. Then the seamen began to treat
Krause roughly. sometimes beating
him.
One night, when the vessel was at
Tampico, Krause babe farewell to the
ship. He could speak no Spanish, and
having little funds he met difficulties
wherever he turned. Finally he got
work at San Luis Potosi in an oil
plant. where he could not understand
the Indifferent and lazy customs of the
Mexican laborers.
Once he went to learn why some
poems failed to bring him water for his
boiler from a nearby river.
He found the poems sitting on the
bank smoking cigarettes in good old
leisurely Mexican style. The sight
stirred his Teutonic blood and there
was a fight. Krause fought with his
fists. and being 1.-THE and muscular was
