led to the mutiny in the German

The battleships and cruisers were
kept constantly at work escorting
our mine sweepers. This proved
monotonous and hard service. Most
of us had been sick with influenza
and the depression was general
we did not expect to be fed as
in peace time. but We saw no rea-
son why our officers should have
meals of several courses, including
fresh meat, every day. All this
