CHAPTER XVII.
Landed in Germany.

They had a coolie crew on the Yar- rowdale and when they routed them on deck the coolies began to pray, and though it is nothing to laugh at I could not help but chuckle at the way some of them went about talking to their various gods. They were beginning to smell danger and were pretty nervous. Every one of the coolies had cane and pair of Palm Beach trousers. The Huns were loading them in the lifebOats to be taken back to the Moewe with their sea bags and one of them got too nervous and was slow about getting into the lifeboat, so the Germans shot him without saying a word.
 Then the Germans called out the names of those who had volunteered to go stoking and this included me. We were drilled down the fiddley into the fire room. The fddley is shaft that runs from the main deck of a ship to the engine room. I looked around bit and saw a German standing not very far from the fiddley, so I asked HILL II We hOulu Oc SlNeA SllOSS. IlS said no. Then asked iiIn if we had to fire in our fare feet and he said yes-that we did not need shoes. Then he went into the engine room.
 I looked at the narrow passage he went through and at the narrow pas sage of the fiddley to the main deck and l talked to my feet like used to at DiXmude. 4 said: Fleet, do your duty" They did it and I flew up the fiddley. I never wanted to see that stoke hole again.
 I sneaked up to where the rest of the fellows were and the guards drilled us into No. hold There was nothing but ammunition in it. They battened the matches down on us, which made the hold waterproof. And

HOW TO FIGHT SPANISH INFLUENZA
By DIR. l.. w. BOWERS.

Avoid crowds, coughs and towards, but fear neither germs nor Germans! Keep the system in good order, take plenty of exercise In the fresh air and practice cleanliness. Remember clean mouth, clean skin, and clean bowels are protecting armour against disease. To keep the liver and bowels regular and to carry away the poisons within, 1t is best to take vegetable pill every other day, made up of May-apple, aloes, ialap, and sugar-coated, to be had at most drug stores, known as pr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. If there is sudden onset of what appears like hard cold. one should go to bed, wrap warm. take a hot mustard foot-bath and drink copi- ousiy of hot lemonade. If pain develops in head or back, ask the druggist for Anuric (anti. uric) tablets. These will flush the bladder and kidneys and carry off poisonous germs. To control the pains and aches take one Anuric tablet every two hours, with frequent drinks of lemonade. The pneumonia appears in a most treacherous way, when the influenza victim Is apparently recover ing and anxious to leave his bed In re- covering from bad attack of influenza or pneumonia the system should be built up with good herbal tonic, such as pr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov- cry, made without alcohol from the roots and barks of American forest trees, or his Irontic Gron tonic) tablets, which can be obtained at most drug stores, or send 10c. to Dr. Pieree's Inva- lids el,ssBuffalo, N. T., for trial package.

as that made it practically alright the only air the 5S0 of us got was through the ventilators. That hold was cer- tainly foul.
 They next day some of the men had got cigarettes somewhere. In a few minutes they as we'll as the rest had lit up and were puffing away in great style. I divided cigarette with an- other fellow. Remember, we were sit ting and standing on ammunition all this time. It shows how much we cared whether school kept or not.
 The Germans saw the smoke con- ing out of the ventilators and they were crazy with fright. A gang of them laid below and rousted us out with whips.
 They lined us up on deck and read us the riot act.
 They drilled us down into the coal bunkers. It was simply terrible there, Coal dust to breathe and eat and sleep on.

hooks when they could reach them I noticed that there were red kegs in the German boat.
 When the lifeboat reached the Ja- cob's ladders l went over to the port side of the Georgic and then the Ger mans came over the side and hoisted up the kegs. The Germans were armed with bayonets and revolvers. Some of them went down into the en- zine room and opened the sea cocks. About this time some of the Limeys came up from the poop deck and told them to stay where I was and that the Germans would take us over in lifeboats. Another squad of Ger mans hoisted eight of the dynamite kegs on their shoulders and down into No. 5 hold with them.
 Mean time the Germans saw us up on the boat deck and came up after us. And over went the Limeys. But waited and one or two more waited with me. When the Germans came up 70 us they had their reyolvers out md were waving them around and felling, "Gott strafe Englandw and alking about "schweinhunae" Then,

Relieved the Tension.

A little boy at school saw his teacher faint and fall. In the confusion it was impossible to keep so many heads cool, and the little ones flocked round the prostrate lady and her sympathetic col leagues. But this small boy kept both his color and his coolness.
 Standing on bench and raising his hand, he exclaimed: "Please, teach CT, can I run and fetch father? He makes coffins." The peal of laughter which greeted this unconscious humor reused the teacher from her short trance, and nobody enjoyed the young ster's saying more than she did when the circumstances were explained to her afterward.

ten rafts and when they began to place tins of hardtack on the rafts, tin to each, we imagined they were going to heave us over the side and let us go on the rafts. But instead they began telling us we would land in the States and then they rousted us between decks again.
 We had only been there short time when some of the German officers came down and asked if any of the men would volunteer to go firing on the Yarrowdale and we almost mobbed them to take us. They began putting down the names of the men who were to go and I talked them into putting mine down too. Then I felt about five hundred pounds lighter.
 Five o'clock came and by that time had forgotten to do any worrying. We received our usual rations and
 Nost of us who had volunteered fig ured that we would receive clothes and shoes. In the morning an officer came down below and read out the names of those who were to go and I felt even lighter when he called mine. We were each given a life belt and mustered on deck.
 The sea was pretty nasty and some of the men had narrow escapes from falling between the MoeWe and the lifeboats when the swells rocked us. One man fell from the ladder and broke his neck on the gunwale of the lifeboat. They took over boat after boat to the Yarrowdale until finally we were all there. Then they mus tered us on deck and warned us not to start anything, because they had a time bomb in the engine room and two on the bridge. Meantime they had brought over several boatloads of hard tack and we threw it into No. hold. This was to be our food for some time.

The Healthiest Way.

A company commander received an Srder from battalion headquarters to Send in a return giving the number of lead Huns in front of his sector of the fench. He sent in the number as 2,001. Al. Q. rang up and asked how he ar ~ived at this unusual figure.
 ssWelI," he replied, I'm certain about fhe one, because counted him myself He's hanging on the wire just in front of me. I estimated the 2,000. I work ed it out all by myself in my own head that it was healthier to estimate 'em than to walk about in No Mans Land and count 'em.''

CHAPTER XVI.
Captured by the MoeWe.

Captured by the MoeWe.
 When the tugs had cast off and after a while we had dropped our pilot said to myself: Now we are off, anC | it's the States for me-end of the line-far as we go-IF-" But the ''if' did not look very big to me 1 though l could see it with the naked eye all right.
 got up about four o'clock the next morning, which was Sunday. Decem Der 10, 1916-a date I do not think wih ever forget.
 As soon as I was dressed I went down to the foreeastle peak and from there into the paint locker, where found some rope. Then back again on deck, and made myself a hammock, which I rigged up on the boat deck, figuring that would have nice sun bath, as the weather had at last turned clear.
 As soon as I had the hammock strung l went down to the baker and had nice chat with him-and stole a few hot buns, which was what I was really after-and away to the galley for breakfast. I was almost exactly amidships, sitting on an old orange box. I had not been there long when Old Chips, the ships carpenter, stuck his head in the door and sang out, ''Ship on the starboard bow" I did not pay any attention to him, because ships on the starboaYd bow were no novelty to me, or on the port either. Chips was not crazy about looking at her, either, for he came in and sat on another box and began scoffing. He said he thought she was tramp and that she flew the British flag astern.
 l ate all could get hold of and went out on deck. l stepped out of the gal ley just in time to see the fun. The ship was just opposite us when away went our wireless and some of the boats aa the starboard side, and then, boom1 boom and we heard the report of the guns. I heard the shrapnel whizzing around us just as had many q time before. I jumped back in the ga.icTy and Chips and the cook were shaking so hard they made the pans rattle.
 When the firing stopped I went up to the boat deck. I had on all of my clothing, but instead of shoes I was wearing a pair of wooden clogs The men and boys were crazy-rushing around the deck and knocking each other down, and everybody getting i'll everybody else's way. We lowered our Jacobs ladders, but some of the nen and boys were already in the water. Why they jumped I do not know.
 Then the German raider Moewe headed right In toward us and I thought she was going to ram us, but she backed water about thirty yards away. She lowered lifeboat and 1t made for the Georgic. passing our men in the water as they came and crashing them on the head with boat

 been so cold.
 We could not go to sleep because
 the decks were wet, nor could we sit
 down with any comfort for the same
 reason. Besides, we thought we might
 buck up against a British or French
 cruiser at any minute and most of us
 thought we woxld stay up and get an
 eye full before we started for Davy's
 well-known locker.
 About two bells the following morn-
 ing the Moewes engines began to
 groan and shake her up a bit and we could hear the blades jump out of the
 water every once in a while and tear away. She went ahead in this way for some time and we were hoping she was trying to get away from a cruiser and some of US were pulling for the cruiser to win and others hoping the Moewe would get her heels clear and keep us from getting ours.
 The Huns were running up and down the deck yelling like wild men and one of our men began to yell too. He was delirious and after he yelled a bit he jumped up and made a pass at the sentry, who shot at him but missed. The shot missed me too, but not very much. Then they dragged the delirious man up on deck and Lord knows what they did with him, because we never saw him again. But we did not hear any sound that they might have made in shooting him.
 Then the Huns began shelling and lHCS hCpI It uEJ lOI SOlIJe IliIlp.
 Then they ordered us up on deck to see the ship they had been firing at and when we came up the companion way they were just bringing the other ships skipper aboard. It was the French collier St. Theodore, hove to off the starboard side with a prize crew from the Moewe aboard and wig wagging to the Iaider.
 Then the Huns began shouting and they rousted us below deck again. The place where we had been was filled with smoke, from what or why I do not know, but it was almost impos- sible to breathe in it. When the smoke cleared up bit the Marathon started again, for we were still in our underwear only. One of the boys had asked Fritz for clothing and Fritz said the English had tough enough skins and they did not need clothing. Then he said: "Wait until you see what our German winters are like"
 The following morning the engines began to tear away again and the guns started firing. After a while the firing stopped and the engines too, and after al hour they had the old man of the Yhrrowdale aboard. She was a British ship chartered by the French and bound for Brest and Liverpool with a very valuable cargo aboard airplanes, ammunition, food and auto- 
 When they rousted uS on deck arain the St. Theodore was still in sight, but she had the Yarrowdale for company. Both we're trailing behind us and keep ing pretty close on. While we were on decll We saw the German sailors at work on the main deck making about

pieces mounted astern. The guns were mounted on an elevator and when the time came they ran the elevator up until the guns were on a level with the poop deck, but otherwise they were out of sight from other ships.
 For our first meal they slung a big feed bag half full of ship biscuit- hardtack-to us and some dixies of tea. After this festival we began roaming up and down the deck again, because it was the only way to keep warm. I guess we looked like some of the advertisements in magazines, where they show a whole family sit ting around a Christmas tree in their
