the German boat.
When the ufeboat reached the ia

Ade Of the Georgia and then the Ger

up the kegs. The Germans were
armed with bayonets and revolvers.
Some of them went down into the en-

came up from the poop deck and I
told them to stay where was and
that the Germans would take us over
in nfeboats. Another squad Of Ger

kegs on their shoulders and down into
No. 8 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
I waited and one or two more waited
with me. When the Germans came up
to Us they had their revolvers out
and were waving them around and
yelling, "Gott strafe Englandr and

morning, which was Sunday. Decem-
Der 10, 1864 date I do not think
will ever forget.
As soon as I was dressed went
down to the forecastle peak and from
there into the paint locker, where I
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 a nice sun
bath, as the weather had at last
turned clear.
As soon as I had the hammock
strung I went down to the baker and
had a nice chat with him-and stole a
few hot buns, which was what 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,

not pay any attention to him, because
ships on the starboard bow were

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 in
everybody else's way. We lowered our
Jacobs ladders, but some Of the men
and boys were already in the water.
Why they jumped do not know.
Then the German raider Moewe
headed right in toward us and
thought she was going to ram us, but
she backed water about thirty yards
away. She lowered a lifeboat and 1t

were Just what they wanted from
Sanity. Only we did not have any
Christmas tree to sit around. We must
have looked funny, though, and would
have had a good laugh II I had not
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 British or a French
cruiser at any minute and most Of US
thought we would stay up and get an
eye full before we started for Davy's
well-known locker.
About two bells the following morn
ing the Moewe's engines began to
groan and shake her up q 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
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
have made in shooting him.
Then the Huns began shelling and
they kept it up for some time.
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. 1t was the
French collier st. Theodore, hove to
off the starboard side with prize
crew frsm the Moewe aboard and wig
wagging to the raider.
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 a 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 an hour they had the old man
Of the Yarrowdale 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
mobiles.
When they rousted US on deck again
the St Theodore was stin In sight, but
she had the Yarrowdale for company.
Both were trailing behind US and keep
ing pretty close ON. While we were
on deck we saw the German sailors at
work on the main deck making about
