death, according to the captains testi
mony.
The good ship has now rounded the
Horn and is heightened out on he,
course for Cape Town, due east. We
have reached the morning of August 6
and the fateful hour of 4, when the
first morning watch came OH deck
There is about to be enacted the fna1
tragedy which led to the captain and
his son being tried for their lives, anc
their final acquittal
A long rolling swell is running and
the tops are turned to white caps by
the fresh breeze blowing. All the sails
on the foremost below the royal are
set. and the main sheets of the main
and mizzen masts are set. With this
gear the barkentine is blowing through
| hour
The second mate and his watch come
on deck to relieve the first mate. There
followed the usual report of the watch
between the two officers. The first
mate reporting the breeze had held
steady through the four hours of his
watch and suggests that now day
light is about to appear the royal
sail be set to get little more speed
out Of the craft.
The second mate agrees with this and
sends Hansen up aloft to loose the
royal.
Such are the preliminaries of the
tragedy. From this point on the facts
stated by the prosecution and defence
again agree in detail, but again diff
ferent Interpretation is placed upon
them by both sides.
In the narrative of John W. Camp
bell, corroborated by other members
of the crew, what took place was as
follows:
Hansen loosed the royal and then
sang out to the second mate All ready;
loose the buntlines.' The second mate
said What's that? Come down here
you -
Hansen came down. and went over

to the mate. l heard a noise and
turned round and saw the mate strike
hansen, first with one hand and then
with the other. Then he turned Han
sen around by the shoulders and kicked
him. Hansen started away and then
began to run. He ran to the side and
then jumped overheard into the sea.
"The second mate ran aft and ran
after him. He ordered Jack Joe, WHO
was at the wheel, to turn the shin
about. He then went for the captain,
who came on deck about two minutes
later.
Before the captain reached the deck
we saw Hansen grab the log line trail
ing aft in the water. He kept crying
for help. AS soon as the captain got
on deck he looked up and said TO
hell with the man overheard, put the
ship back on her course
"The second mate went to the wheel
and helped Jack Joe to put it over
until the ship came back on her course.
The sails were tapping against the
masts. An hour later the second mate
sent me aloft to see whether | could
see Hansen"
The stories Of the second mate and
the captain agreed in detail. The
former, telling of this tragedy, said:

The First Death

Ten days later the first death of the
Inflated voyage took place. The sec
ond mate In relating his narrative on
the witness stand described the Incl
dent as follows:
ION May %, at 1915 a. M, John
Stewart, the cook, jumped overheard. l
was on watch at the time. / threw him
rope and it fell right on him, but he
would not take hold of it, l saw him
with his hands over his eyes and
his mouth wide open swallowing water.
The weather and sea were calm. |
shouted to the captain that the cook
was overheard, and he sang out, GO get
him. BY the time we got to the boat
there was no sign of Stewart From
this time on the crew acted very queer,
stupid and defiant"
From this point onward the cabin
boy, l.. A. Smithson, was the storm GEN.
ire OF the ship. On June % he brought
Jug OF milk into the captains cabin
Tor breakfast. This jug of milk led
to his undoing and placed him in the
bad graces Of the officers of the shin.
In the narrative of the second mate the
incident was related as follows:
The cabin boy, l.. A. Smithson. was
the next one to cause trouble. He had
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-06-15


OF this incident, but the Interpretation
placed upon them was opposed
Called to Witness
John W. Campbell one Of the crew
describing it, said:
II was called into the captains cabin
to witness a statement made by Han
sen. When l got in Hansen was hand
cutfed. HIS face was mass of blood
and his eyes we're almost closed. There
was big cash across his face
"The captain said to him: Confess,
you -, confess Hansen would not
confess. The captain said, Wake him
up and the second mate hit him on
the head with club. When he would
not confess fast enough the second
mate hit him again. Finally, he con-
fessed and l witnessed the statement"
Captain Petersen related this in
cident in the following manner: "When
Hansen came into my cabin his face
was badly bruised. His eyes were
almost closed and his face was bleed
ing. He had been fighting with the
cabin boy, Smithson.
II said to him, You've got fine
face for your foolishness, haven't you?
1t was all your own fault l had to
hold his eye open with my hand while
he signed the statement"
The statement signed by Hansen on
this occasion was as follows:
~, Axel Hansen, state that we planned
from the beginning Of the voyage
to kill the captain and the officers
and to take the vessel into some
island or somewhere off the coast
of Chile. l implicate myself, Frank
Grielen, Lester Jensen and B.
Olsen. We first planned to throw the
master and the mate overheard. We
were to sail the ship into some place
and turn the vessel over to the au-
thorities and tell lots of lies.
1--WE never spoke about getting ran
som for the ship from the Germans.
Lots of times we did not answer the
officers when orders we're given so that
we might cause trouble and be able
to shove the master overheard.
"July 7, at 1 o'clock, the CAPTAIN
was on deck lacking the ship and walk
ing around the deck Strengthening out

been neglectful, disobedient, neglected
to clean the cabin, and we had to keen
at him all the time to get him to work.
He had jug of milk, which he placed
on the table, and it was sour. 1t had
been in the jug for about three dayo
and he poured hot water on it and put
it on the table for breakfast.
"The captain asked him what was
wrong with the milk that we could not
use it. 1t was all Jumps and it smelled
awful. We placed him in irons for dis
obedience. He had been insubordinate
on several occasions before. We put
him in the lazaret until noon, when he
apologized to the captain"

moment he came on deck. In telling
it he said: 81 came on deck. and
