who inher ited an unquenchable thirst for ad venture was vividly dramatized fri day evening in the university chap el by count felix yon luckner internationally famous german sea devil whose inimitable daring startl ed the world during the world war when i was only thirteen i ran away from home because of my penchant for failing in examina tions examinations have always been the bane of my existence no examination however was ever more all-important than that which the commanding officer of an 18,000 ton british cruiser subjected me to when i was attempting to run the allied blockade with my obsolete sailing vessel disguised as a nor wegian fishing smack the count told i.soo students and faculty members runs blockade successfully yon luckner had gone to every extreme camouflage hi s raider he had forged the ship's papers and had had 27 girls in norway write innumerable love letters to non-ex istent members of his crew the members of the crew had been se lected because of their ability to speak norwegian everything was in order and prepared even to the inclusion ofa slim young teuton who could be drafted into service as the wife of the norwegian skip per luckner should an exigency arise on a dark bold misty night we stole out of bremen with only a clear conscience and wrong papers as a defense against several hun dred enemy warships it was on december 22 1916 the wind was raging from the southwest driving before it a hurricane by joe that hurricane was the answer to a prayer the count continued ship betrayed the entire scheme went wrong however when the expedition was betrayed to the enemy by a german traitor the news of this calamity reached the sea raider by wireless when he was almost through the allied line he was never more dis heartened yon luckner said there is no lower animal than a traitor to his country and its cause i should like to have committed vi olence upon the body of that par ticular traitor but when we were finally hailed by the enemy cruiser we managed to escape detection by employing every manner of subter fuge the officer who inspected our ship that cold christmas morning off the south coast of norway is now one of my very good friends count dramatizes story yon luckner punctuated his vivid descriptions of thrilling incidents with graphic gestures and frequent ly interspersed his now famous by joe he alluded at various times to his youthful desire to be a self made man after the fashion of buffalo bill he told of his trip around the world as a youth of thirteen in a vain attempt to meet the renown american pioneer and buffalo hunt er but among my attainments i am proudest of the fact that not one life was taken while my ship the seeadler was sinking 500,000 tons of allied shipping we treated our prisoners as our guests and we sougth in every way possible to avoid cruel slaughter and needless loss of life he concluded three members of faculty made motor club directors dr r c bull and prof g c beck and r b
