CHAPTER VIII
The Life of a Modern Buc-

Although our old jolly-boat was q
raiding auxiliary cruiser. she also de-
generated into breed Of passenger
ship, too. Our passengers were our
prisoners. That made the situation
somewhat unusual and added bit
of spice. I've served as an officer
aboard q dozen or more liners, and
have seen all kinds and strata OF So
ciety aboard, including dull, delight
full, ill-natured, jovlal-both the quick
and the dead. Yes, have had some
splendid passenger lists on voyages
where every hour was gay and bub.
bling with fun. But no group of pas
sengers on liner ever enjoyed such
happy comradeship as did we aboard
our buccaneering craft. The fact that
we were captors and captives only
seemed to make 1t all the jollier. We
took the greatest pleasure in making
the time agreeable for our prisoners,
with games, concerts, cards, and story
telling. We tried to feed them well,
and think we did, which helps a
lot as you'll agree. We didn't throw
1t at them either. In fact, we served
special meals for all the nations whose
ships we captured. ~'''7s'7 .'-i"s-''-sT''."
One day our own German Chef
cooked, and that boy was some cook,
as you say. The next day an English
cookie, then the French chef, then the

English food was the worst. 1t usual

cans fed their sailors best Of all. It's
long been tradition on Yankee clip
pers. In the old days, the American
sailing ships were famous for fright
full work and much brutality, but the
food wis good. Today the work Is
not bad and there is no brutality, but
the food is still good.
The prisoners seemed to appreciate
our Intentions thoroughly. They
wanted to do everything they could
for us In return. Feeling of patriot
ism should have made them hope for
our early destruction. But more ele
mental sentiments Of gratitude and
friendship obliterated the more arti
fetal passions Of war hatred. am
sure that very few Of our passengers

hope of our being sunk by the cruisers
of their nations. think 1t really hurt
many of them to realize that the day
probably would come when we would
be caught and go down under rain
of Allied shellfire. That magnificent
Frenchman, the captain of the Charles
| Gounod, kept aloof from the general
fraternizing, and scrupulously kept up
his manner of cold politeness and
stately hostility toward us. but even
he thawed out few degrees, al
though he tried hard to keep from
showing 1t.
There was only one Of our prisoners
who behaved himself in any way that
could be considered improper. That
was Captain Lecoq who had cherished
hopes that we would run afoul of the
British cruiser. You see, the skip
