If our new home teemed with use-
ful edible creatures it was not lack-
ing in pestitential forms of life either
these both of native origin and im-
ported from ships A thousand kinds
of insects were everywhere If you
awakened thirsty at night and reached
for your glass of water you were like-
ly to find that it contained more cock-
roaches than water You had to rec-
oncile yourself to getting up In the
morning and finding your toothbrush
alive with ants The ants were par-
ticularly pervasive We could only
guard against them by putting the
legs of tables chairs and other arti-
cles of furniture in cupfuls of water
We slept at night to the ceaseless
shuffle of rats huge insolent fellows
running about on tops of our tents
Piper le waged war against them but
the odds were too great It would
have taken a whole regiment of ter-
riers to end that plague
Flashing birds of paradise flew from
palm to palm Gorgsous humming
birds vith green and yellow breasts
darted among the brand" With ev-
ery flower there seemed to be a great
butterfly The whole island 'as aglow
with butterflies They floated on vide
beating wings of greens violets and
reds
Once in the middle of the night I
was awakened by a small sharp re-
peated sound—knick knick knack
It was the openIng of tropical flow-
ers I went outside and there I saw
the lovely Queen ot Night which blos-
soms by the light of the tropical stars
It is a great gorgeous bloom eight or
ten inches across There were thou-
sands of them Scores of glowworms
far brighter than any we know hov-
ered about each- eager to catch the
magtfiticent perfume that the opening
Quecn Of Night gives forth In the
darkness I could see the flowers only
by the light of the gtowworms On
every side were these eerie nocturnal
lights a dancing lamp of gathered
glowworms illuminating each flower
In that unearthly gleaming like a
hind of moonlight only stronger the
odorous petals shone with the ghost-
ly nuances of their naturally flaming
colors white crimson sapphire blue
violet blue In the South Seas the
flowers havefittle seenfbY day while
the sun shines on them At night
when the dew fulls perfume aWalieng
It is truly a perfumed night And the
nostrils of man are excited by the rich
and almost oppressive blending of
odors The Queen of Night gives off
the perfume of vanilla Mingled with
It comes the scent of hyacinth or-
chid mayflower and heliotrope
Sweet-stnelling breezes blow and
above is the tropical sky with its clus-
tered flashing stars and gorgeous
Milky Way Ilangiug above the hori-
zon is the far-famed Southern Cross
In the middle of the camp we made
a sort of plaza The Seendler's bat-
teries furnished electric izght for it
and there we gathered every night
We still had plenty of champagne and
cognac left from the capture of the
champagne ship So In the cool of
the evening we sat out there on the
edge of this equatorial Fotsdammer
Platz sipping drinks out of wine and
brandy glasses last as we might have
at the Adlon in Berlin There was
plenty of pipe tobacco and Doctor
rietsch had taken care to rescue from
the wreck a store of his endless ci-
gars The wind blew the stars shone
and the orchestra alternately played
German classics from the operas and
American rag-time melodies Ah yes
this last bit of the once glorious over-
seas German empire wasn't such a bad
little paradise at all We castaways
out there in the solitude of the South
'Seas felt as though we were the only
people left in the world like Noah and
his family on Monet Ararat
But after about three weeks of this
Carden-of-Eden-wit hout-an-Eve exist-
ence the monotony of it began to get
on our nerves Of course there was
the "wife" of the (neer of the
but she was far too busy to be inter-
ested in the rest of us We hadn1
been sent out to colonize the south
Seas and take life easy So we cast
about for a wily to go buccaneering
again
Our first need was for a ship to
take the place of our unfortunate
three-master impaled out there on the
coral reef The Kanakas told us that
a French sailing vessel visited the is-
land every year to take away turtle
meat The best guess that they could
make was that it would be another six
months or so before she arrived Well
after six months we would have a
ship We could always fall back on
that tut by Joe six months was a
long time to wait The 'war might be
won or lost by then And it Was high-
ly unlikely that any other ship would
stray into those waters for heaven
knows how long We all grew imps-
tient Few sailors are keen about re-
maining cast away on a tropical Isle
for long and especially on an atoll
as small as Mopelia We felt the itch
to get out to sea again I was par-
ticularly anxious to set something
stirring Before long the tropical sun
and lazy life would sap my men's
and all they would be good for
would be tololl around

hurricane season was not on So why
not put to sea In one of them? We
devised rIgging and sans for our best
lifeboat mast jib boom main boom
gaff stays and back stays We
scraped caulked and painted bee
She was not in any too good condi-
tion and despite our labor she con-
tinued to leak a bit and needed con-
stant bailing Even In calm weather
we had to ball forty palls a day IV°
loaded her with provisions for half a
dozen men over a long voyage She
was eighteen feet In length and only
about fourteen Inches above water
amidship Into this small space we
stored water hardtack machine guns
rifles hand grenades ond pistols The
only luxurier we allowed ourselves
were a few tins of pemmican a side
of bacon and an accordion The mu-
sic of the squealer was to be our sol-
ace during a cruise the length of
which none could foretell The great
question was could our tiny craft sur-
vive a storm? At any rate she could
sail and that was something We
christened her the Kronprinzessin
Cecille—without however painting
her name on thestern
of course everybody wanted to go
but there could be only six of us at
the most So I picked the men who
seemed to be In the most vigorous
health at the time Mate Leudemann
Lieutenant Kircheiss Engineer Krauss
Boatswain Parmien and Yoeman Erd-
mann This left the colony on the
atoll in the hands of Lieutenant Kling
Our overloaded cockelshell with a
crew of six was the smallest auxiliary
cruiser In the war For cruiser we
were and we were setting out to cap-
ture a ship sail back to Mope lia pick
up our comrades there and continue
our raid To find and take a ship on
the high sea was a doubtful proposi-
tion but we might get to some of the
other Islands not too well populated
and guarded and find a vessel at
anchor We could board her at night
Overpower the captain and crew and
sail of with her We planned first
of all to visit the Cook islands some
eight hundred miles distant and if we
found no ship there continue on an-
other thousand miles farther to the
FIJI Islands where there were sure
to be ships loading with Copra for the
8111111Unit on factorlei of EttiOpe We
figured on making 'ilk:land 'Sixty nau-
tical nilles a day so that if we had to
go nil the way to the Fiji it would
take us approximately thirty days
Thus we should be back with a ship
In three months at most
We discussed my" tactics thoroughly
for the expected capture We would
steal aboard Half-past three In the
morning was the best hour Men
sleep their soundest then A couple
of us would go to the officers' cabins
the rest to the forecastle We would
show our pistols disarm them and
herd them below It would be good
to sneak to their clothing first and
take away their belts and snip the
buttons off their trousers Then when
you have them put on their clothes
they stand without belts suspenders
or buttons holding up their trousers
Thus they are helpless We had a
few bombs loaded only with powder
harmless but capable of making a ter-
rific noise If there Is any trouble
you throw one It hurts nobody but
the terrible explosion creates a gen-
eral panic A couple of men with
their heads about them can do won-
ders with dozens in a panic Another
good thing is to have a couple of fel-
lows outside shout suddenly and make
a great disturbance That creates ex-
citement and throws people off their
guard I said to my bo's'n:
"Don't hurt anybody unless you
have to We don't want to spoil out
clean record by killing anybody Eut
by Joe if a captalu or a watchman
raises a rifle or a pistol don't wait
till he shoots Get him first"
On a bright summer morning—Au-
gust 23 1917 to be exact—we all shook
hands There was no cheering mere-
ly quiet earnest words of friendship
and good luck It was the first time
that we sixtyfour seamen had parted
since the Seemlier had set sail to run
the blockade eight months before and
It was only now at the moment of
saying good-by that we realized how
closely attached to one another we
had become We who were going
could see a brooding question In the
eles of those who were staying be-
hind: "How will that overloaded cock&
shell stand heavy weather?"
Never mind we would probably find
out soon enough -The understanding
was that If we did not return in three
months something had happened to
us They should wait for us until
then Afterward Kling and his men
were to get away from the atoll as
best they could
We sailed out of the lagoon through
the coral entrance Into the open sea
The hulk of the Seeadier lay there
helpless on the reef The tide was
high and the breakers swept over the
coral She WIIS a red brown now
from rust and weathering Each flood-
ing billow raised her a bit and then
she sank back hopelessly with loud
groans and creaks of despair on the
coral bed As we passed her she
seemed to call over to us:
THE STILLWATER GAZETTE STILLWATER PAYNE COUNTY OKLAHOMA
"Come aboard I want to take you
on your voyage Don't de!lzert your
old friend"
And as a wave rased her It seemed
as though she were struggling to get
on an even keel again and come to
us only to find that the coral held her
In a relentless grasp Tears tilled our
eyes
"Good-by Seemlier" I called "per-
haps We shall never see you more
And even if we do you can never sail
again Nevermore 1011 songs resound
on your decks Nevermore will you
raise your sails and fly a flag from
your masts"
A brisk wind carried us westward
with a swelling Of our SailL The
happy island receded The last Ger-
man colony and the wreck of the See-
adler slowly dropped out of sight over
the Om of the horizon
Today the Seemlier still remains on
the reef at Slope ila After we had
gone Lieutenant Kling afraid that
the stumps of her IMISI might attract
a passing warshlp blew them out vvith
dnandle The exploslial set a' tire
that burned away part of the wood-
work A quantity of ataimmition still
aboard blew up and cracked the fore-
part of the hulk
CHAPTER XIII
From the Society Islands to the
Cook Islands in an Open Boat
It has been something of a sport of
recent years to cross the Atlantic and
even the Pacific in a small boat some-
times under sail and sometimes under
motor power Tilly (Tat have done
It and at best it is not a comfortable
kind of voyage In sporting events
your ocean-going small boat always
had a cabin or an imitation of one
That IS N'hat we s''ould have had but
we M'ere not so Inchy and besides the
load we carried made existence aboard
our lifeboat that had been converted
Into a cruiser a cramped affair Indeed
There was only one place we could
trust to be dry the buoyant air tanks
at the sides of the boat In these we
packed our hardtack a few pieces of
clothing photographic apparatus and
the all-important lohacco It affected
the buoyancy of our craft but we bad
to keep soma things away from the
sea water In the body of the boat
were placed the water tanks our large
supply of Nvenpons nnd ammunition
cordage for the rigging and several
spire sails Canvas shields at the
side which could be drawn over at
the top and be made to form some
kind of tent sheltered us somewhat
front waves and dirty weather With
Oct these we should have been prac
Heftily drowned Four mattresse
could he stretched on the bottom
wherefour men could sleep while tw(
kept catch As a concession to civil'
zat ion we had siK pa li f klltves
oferhs six mugs a coffee pots atai
(4:000 in silver gold and paper laud
of It in pounds sterling
At six In the morning the two men
On watch filled the coffee pot and ep-
plied fire to It from n soldering lamp
With the slightest breeze and a rock
Jag of the boat it was impossible to
bring the water to a boil Then we
were glad to get tepid coffee bean
soup instead of coll'e& After toilets
had been made with salty sea water
we squatted In the cockpit for break-
fast of coffee and hardtack Naviga-
tion was difficult In so small a boat
It 'was impossible to spread the charts
out properly and with the slightest
carelessness the wind might take our
priceless navigation papers overboard
We had to use the sextant and other
navigation Instruments In a boat that
often pitched so much we could
scarcely stand The papers charts
tables logarithms and so on got sop-
ping wet and when We dried them in
the sun they grew swollen and
to handle
It was cool at night but not un-
pleasant so long as our clothes were
dry The weather was fair but tin
occasional whale woulll come along-
side and douse ns vith the spray of
his spout Then In our damp cloth-
ing we felt the chill of the night The
(lays were broiling hot but even while
taking advantage of what little shade
we had we grew heavy and torpid
We had above all thinga to be care-
ful of our water supply We never
dared drink enough to quench our
thirst completely and were in fact
continually thirsty
By way of amusement we had read-
ings aloud front the one book we had
brought along Fritz Peuter's comic
story "A Trip to Constantinople" and
at night the squealer wheezed and
blared and we whiled away the tedi-
ous hours singing old German folk
songs
After three dnys we sighted Attu
the first Island of the Cook group and
a British possession There was no
Ship In sight Too bad but perhaps
a ship might be expected soon Any-
way we had to make port and get
fresh food Aside from the danger of
storm if our voyage continued for any
length we feared most of all beri-beri
and scurvy which our diet of hard-
tack would inevitably bring upon us
unless we varied It with fresh vege-
tables A crowd of natives line looking
Polynesians watched curiously as our
little craft (troy up to the dock Kir-
cheiss and I went ashore and straight
to the house of the British resident
Ile lay stretched (rut in his shirt and
trousers on a Portico iong chair on his
Pouch end tlidn't even get up when
ve approached He vas a good look-
In fellow but lazy as the devil The
Imitude Of the South seas bad cer-
tainty got him
'My name Is Van Houten" I began
"and this is sly chief officer Southarts
Time resident looked at toe sus-
piciously It was a true British
trust ordinarily your Englishman
Is the hest of fellows a pleasant chap
to tnect a perfect host it in war-
time you kid to admire them They
Tore on the lookout for everything
3'heir brains seemed made only of sus-
picions Kireheiss who spoke English
bettcr than I continued:
"We are Americans of Dutch birth
A few months ago we made a bet at
the Holland club in San Francisco
that we Would sail from Honolulu in
and open boat via the Cook Islands to
Tahiti and back to Honolulu The
wager ts for twenty-flve thousand dol
:firs Would you my dear sir kindly
'r give me a certificate that we have
heen here In accordance with the
'terms of our bet? Also we should
like to lay in a supply of fresh water
vatmed goods and fresh fruit"
The resident yowned looked us over
with a watery eye and replied
"Weil a man nmst be a hell of a
fool to go in for that kind of Fport"
$ore" Kirchelss said pnlitely "but
just the same wv should like to have
the certificate Won't you give it to
us or tell us vho vitt?"
"Oh to hell with you don't bother
me I've just had dinner and want to
take toy nap"
Even Ilk British mistrust with
whieh lie first regarded us subsided
Into the indescribable something that
OttleS over a white man who yields
10 the soft enervation Of the tropics
lie now !oohed Itt Us merely as mad
tellows im NV:tilted tarn to do some-
thing too crazy to merit his consider-
"Any !WIN'S from the bloody var?"
he asked "Why are they so stupid
Is to carry on with this lighting busi-
ness? In the end it will only help
'hese yellow races"
Ile continued lihe this and spoke
highly of the Germans Naturally
iv( did not express any pro-German r
sent linen! S
"We simply must get this old bird
to give us that certificate" I said to
my comrade in Low German pretend-
ing that li vas Dutch
"Yrs" he replied in the same dia
led "it may come In mighty useful
later on"
The resident es he told us had
Served in the iloer war and should
breve knOWn better but he took our
Plattdeutsch for the language of Hol-
land Presently he scribbled a note say-
Ing that we bad called on him in the
course Of our sporting cruise
"Any ships expected in port soon?"
Kircheiss asked quite casually
"Hew in hell do I know?" the resi-
dent responded wearily "Everything
goes to the bimidy war and NNe don't
see anything around herd but thest
Nana hi" He continued in this strain
and cursed his boredom on the Island
The resident was still rambling on
In his lazy monotone when along came
a man who wore a cassock and had a
beard down to his waist Ile was a
French missionary priest who was
overjoyed when we saluted him with a
few words of French The resident
and an English rtrader were the only
two white men on the Island besides
hintself and neither talked any
French
"Allons allons" he shouted "by
Joe boys you must pay me a visit"
And straightway he seized our arms
and took us over to his mission house
There he poured out glasses of ex-
cellent wine
"You ore Americans" he cried "you
fight for la France? You are Holland-
ers? Al) It Is too bad that your coun-
try Is not In the war with France
But I can see that you love la belle
France"
"What will be your next stop?"
asked the jovial missionary in parting
"I think ve will put in at Altutaki"
I replied That was the nearest island
and the next field of action In our
hunt for a ship
line" exclaimed the priest cordial-
ly "I have a friend there You must
call on him Just mention my name
Ile will be delighted to see you Ile
is a Hollander too"
A Hollander too? And our knowl-
edge of the Dutch language was so
strongly salted with a German ac-
cent! In that ease when we got to
Altutakt we certainly would he any-
thing but Hollanders probably Nor-
wegians Everywhere on the Island were trees
and fruits coconuts bananas man-
goes and oranges On the streets of
the village with Its thatched huts
were South sea beauties who wore
wreaths of flowers and had dark flash-
ing eyes They gazed with interest
on the foreign sportsmen the story
of whose cruise on a bet had spread
among the natives We took aboard
what provisions we needed and set
sail for Altutaki

TIE VOTE IS RESULT IN
PERKINS SCHOOL TRIAL
Two days this week Monday and
Wednesday were spent by the Payne
county commissioners in a hearing of
the protest by School District No 65
against annexation to District No 56
the town of Perkins but as yet the
matter is not Fettled When a vote
was taken Wednesday afternoon by
Commissioners Ed T Thatcher and
John IL Raedeker it was found that
a tie 1 to 1 existed Commissioner
Arthur - C Holbrook previously had
disqualified himself and did not vote
Ile lives near Perkins and had been
accused by both sides of being in-
terested in the ease he explained
The hearing followed the order by
In R Copley retired county superin-
tendent of schools for annexation of
District No 65 east of Perkins to
No 56 Copley made the order after
a petition purporting to contain sig-
natures of more than 51 per cent of
the residents of the district was pre-
sented to him After his order was
issued a remonstrance was made a
petition being presented in protest It
vas claimed that in some instances
!certain residents signed both peti-
lions The phase of the case relating to
Commissioner Holbrook concerned an
!Indan who was on county bounty as
the result of illness which incapacit-
ated him from working One side
eirculated the report that the corn-
missioner told the Indian he would be
!taken off the county aid list if he
signed a petition the other side claim-
ing he told him he would be taken off
IL' he did not sign it
Just what the next step will be is
not decided It may be that the case
will be taken to district court or that
a new board of arbitrators will be ap-
pointed A somewhat similar school ease
concerning districts near Ripley was
continued by the commissioners until
July 22 -
