ABLE TO GET AIR AT LAST

On the third day the storm begins to abate, the sea becomes clearer, and we can open all the matches in order to get air and dry out. All who were off duty came up to stretch themselves on the deck in the sunshine and pull themselves together again after their con- finement and suffering during the rough weather.
 With pale faces, worn out by sleepless nights, they came out of the matches, but hardly had they reached the fresh air and felt the beautiful sea wind blowing on their cheeks refreshingly before the dear cigars or pipes were produced. As we did not expect to meet any steamers on our present course, we made arrange ments for all hands to dry their clothes. Every one carries up his wet belongings, which are hard to dry in the stuffy air below deck, and spreads them out for airing. The whole deck is filled with beds, quilts, clothes and boots. On the steel barrier railing the clothes are fast ened and wave us lustily in the wind as big wash. Between times the men are stretched out basking themselves in the sun just like libards. In order to get the sea breeze below the decks so as to ventilate our quarters the wind sacks are put up on the matches, made of sail cloth with wings on their sides that look like the fins of a fish, and these give the Deutschland long green outer skin the appearance of 6 fantastic fish from the prehistoric period. We must have made a funny sight.
 But there was no one to be aston ished or wonder at us. A lone steamer, whose smoke could be seen toward even- ing on the horizon, we were able to avoid by changing our course. The spirit of the men was holding up splendidly. As a sign of this the sound of the photographs s
