We were ail thinking of the fight that might occur any moment between the Yarrowdnle and some other vessel and we knew we were in the likeliest place for the vessel to be struck. Even though we were not hit amidships. If the ship^were sinking we did not think the Germans would give ns a chance to escape. We figured from what they had said that we would go down with the ship. And going down on a ship in which yon are a prisoner is quite dif­ ferent from going down with one for which you have been fighting. You arrive at the same place, but the feel­ ing 4s different Some of us thought of overpowering the crew and taking the vessel into our own hands, and we got the rest of the sane or nearly sane men together wad tried to get up a scheme for doing It. 1 was strong for the plan and so were several others, but the Limey of­ ficers who were with us advised against it They said the Germans were taking ns to a neutral country, where we would be interned, which was just what the Germans had told as, but what few of us believed. ' Then some others said {hat if we started anything the Germans would Are the time bombs. We replied that at least the Germans would go west with us, but they could not see that there was any glory in that For my­ self, I £hought the Germans would not fire the bombs until the last minute, and that .we would have a chance at the boats before they got all of us anyway. There were only thirteen German sailors on board, besides their commander. This last Hun was ed Badewitz. So the pacifists ruled, because we could not do anything unless we were all together, and there was no mutiny. They said we were hotheads, the rest of us, but I still think we could have made a dash for it and overpowered our sentries, and either gone over the side with the lifeboats, or taken over the whole ship. It would have been better for us if we had tried, and if the pacifists had known what was coming to us they would have fired the time bombs themselves rather than gb on into that future. How­ ever, that is spilt milk. We were not allowed to open the portholes while we were In the bunk­ ers, under penalty of death, land there in. the dark, in that stinking air, it is no wonder many of us went crazy. Among us was a fellow named Har­ rington, about six feet tall and weigh­ ing 250 pounds. He seemed to be all right mentally, but some of us thought afterwards he was crazy. Anyway, I do not blame him for what he did.. Harrington rushed up the fiddley and opened the door. There was a German sentry there, and Har­ rington made a swing at him and then grabbed his bayonet The sentry yelled and some others came down from the bridge and shot Harrington through the hand. After they had beaten Harrington -pretty badly, the bull of the bunch, Badewitz himself, came over and hammered Harrington •U around the deck. Then they put mm In irons and took him to the chart room. The next day we were sitting in the Mfley getting warm when the door opened and there was Badewitz. He ytfted "Heraus I" and began,! .firing at as with a revolver, so we beat it back onto the coai. Pretty soon the door opened again. But it was only a Ger­ man sentry. He threw down a note. It was written in English and read, Tick out eight men for cooks." So We picked out eight men from the va­ rious vessels and they wjent jOQ deck and rigged up a galley aft But we did not receive any knives, forks, spoons or plates. The first meal we got was nothing but macaro­ ni, piled up on pieces of cardboard boxes. Then we appointed four men to serve the macaroni, and they got four pieces of wood, the cleanest we could find, which was not very clean at that, and they dug around in the macaroni and divided it up and put It in our hands. We had to eat it after that from our grimy fingers. Those who were helped first had to go farthest back on the coal to eat it, and those who were helped last got because the dividers got more careful toward the end and .gave smaller portions. But we did not get macaroni very long. A cook from the Voltaire was cleaning a copper dixie that the mac­ aroni had been cooked in, and he was holding It over the side when the ves­ sel rolled heavily, and droppe^ the tfixle into the briny. A sentry who aaw him drop it forced him up to Badewitz, who began mauling him be­ fore the sentry even had told his Story. After a while Badewitz quit pounding the cook, and listened to the sentry. T*»#n Badewitz said the cook bid put a note in the dixie before be dfppped It, so. they beat hUn up again and put him in, irons, After that they * sent the rest of the cooks back, and would no* let them ou deck again. TJ»ey«had plenty of canned goods und meat aboard, but they would not give • '* *»y. r* Five of the men were buried at sea that day. More men were going mad •Very minute, and it was a terrible place; pitch dark, grimy, loose coal , ,0-Oerfoot coal-dusty air to breathe, Y , • body-filth everywhere. Some of the crazy men howled like dogs. But we were -not as much afraid of these as we were of the others who kept still, but slipped, around in the dark with lumps of coal in their hands. We got so we would not go near each other for fear we were running into a crazy man. Those of us who were sane collected as near the fiddley as we could, and we would not let the others get near us, but shoved them back or shied lumps of coal at them. And every once in a while some one oil us would begin to act queer. May­ be he would let out a howl suddenly, without any warning. Or he would just quit talking and begin to sneak around. Or he would squat down and begin to mumble. We could not tell just when a man had begun to lose his mind. He would seem just like the rest of us, because none of us was much better than a beast We could not take turns sleeping ahd standing watch against the crazy men, because when we talked about It we agreed that none of us could tell whether or not the sentries would go crazy while on watch and have the rest of us at their mercy. It was aw­ ful to talk about going crazy in this way, and to figure that you yourself might be the next, and that it wai al­ most sure to happen if you did not get some sleep soon. But it was worse to find a man near you going, and have to boot him out with the other insane men. „ : The days passed like that, with nothing to do but suiter, and starve and freeze. It got colder and colder, and all we could wrap ourselves in was the coal. We began to speculate on where we were. It was not till later than an old skipper in our bunch told us that we had rounded the north­ ern coast of Iceland. Finally, one day, a lad yelled down "Land!" and we all dove for the fid- dley like wild men,, and those who could get near enough looked out, and sure enough! there was the coast of Norway, very rugged and rocky and covered with snow. We thought it was all over then, and that we would be landed at Bergen sure. Then there was the usual running arotmd and yelling on deck, and we were not so sure we would be landed, and very suddenly it got colder than ever. I was in the fiddley, aching to get out, and ready for anything that might happen, when the door opened suddenly and Badewitz grabbed me, and asked me in English if I was a quartermaster. I said yes, and he pulled me by the arm to a cabin. I did not know what was going to hap­ pen, but he took an oilskin from the wall and told the to put It on. There were two sailors there also, and they pat life belts on, and then I was n^ore puzzled than ever, and scared, too, because I thought maybe they were going to throw me over­ board, though what that had to do with being a quartermaster I could not see. But they drilled me up onto the bridge and told me to take the wheel. What their idea was I do not know. Possibly they wanted a noncombatant at the wheel in case they were over­ hauled by a neutral vessel. We were going full speed at the time, but as soon as I took the wheel she cut down to half speed, and stayed that way for half an hour. Then up to full apeed again. Pretty soon there was a tramp steamer on the starboard bow, and al­ most before I saw It, there were two ' None of Ue Wad, Much Batter Than a Beast more sentries on each side of me, prodding me with their revolvers and warning me to keep on the course. 'They had civilian clothes on. Then we went through the Skager Rack and Cattega^ flitch are narrow strips of water leading to the Baltic;, nnd we were only a mile from sho^e with vessels all ab^ut ns. It would have been an easy tiring for me to signal what our ship was and who were aboard, but they had six sentries on my neck all the time tolseep me from it. I never wapted to do any­ thing worse in my life than Jump overboard or signal. But t would have been shot down before I hqd more than started to do either, so I just stayed with the wheel. We were nearlng one of the Dan­ ish island* in the Baltic when we sighted a tog. She began to smoke np and blow her siren. The sailors got very excited and ran around in craijr Style, and Badewitz began shouting jnore orders than they could get is way With. The sentries left me and ran with the rest of the Fritzies to the boat deck and started to lower one of Ihe lifeboats. But Badewitz was right on their heels and kicked the whole bunch around in great shap^, roaring like a bull all the time. I left the wheel and ran to the end of the bridge, to Jump overboard. But the minute I let go of the wheel the vessel fell off of the course, and they' noticed It, and Badewitz sent five of them up on the bridge and tliree others to the side with their revolvers to shoot me if I should reach the wa­ ter. I think if I had had any rope to lash the wheel with I could have got away and they would not have known tfc When the five sailors reached the bridge one of them jumped for the cord and gave our siren five long blasts In answer to the tug. ' The tug was about to launch a torpedo, and we whistled just in time;, One of our men was looking from the fiddley, and he saw the Huns making for the life­ boats, so he got two or three others and they all yelled together, "Don't let them get away!" thinking that they would get the boat over^ and leave the ship, and trying to yell loud enough for the tug to hear them. Badewitz took this man and two or three others, whether they were the ones who yelled or not, and beat them up and put them In irons. I thought there was going to be a mutiny aboard, but it did not come off, and I am not sure what the Huns were so excited* about The other four sailors who came up on the bridge did not touch me, but just kept me covered with their re­ volvers. That was the way with them --they would not touch us unless Badewitz was there or they had bayo­ nets. The old bull himself came up on the bridge after he had beaten up a few men, threw me around quite a bit and kicked me down from the bridge and slammed me into the coal bunkers. I felt pretty sore, as you can imagine, and disappointed add pretty low generally. After a while we heard the anchor chains rattling through on their way to get wet, and we pulled up. Then every German ship in the Baltic came up to look us over, I guess. They opened up the hatch covers, and the Hun garbles and gold-stripes came aboard and looked down at us, and spit all they could on us, and called us all the different kinds of swine in creation. They had them lined up and filing past the hatchways--all of them giving us the once over in turn. Maybe they sold tickets for this show --it would be like the duns. At first we were milling around try­ ing to get out from under the hatch openings and the shower of spit, but some Limey officer sang Out, "Brit* ishers all! Don't give way!" and we stood still and let them spit their damned German lungs out before we would move for them, and some Cor- nishmen began singing their song about Trelawney. So we made out that we did not know such a thing as a German ever lived. * We got better acquainted with Ger­ man spitting later on, and believe me, they are great little spltters, not much on distance or accuracy, but quick In action and well supplied with ammu­ nition. Spitting on prisoners is the favorite Indoor and outdoor sport for Germans, men and women alike. When the show was over, they rousted us up on deck and put us to work throwing the salt pork and can­ ned goods into two German mine-lay­ ers. While we were at it, a Danish patrol boat came out and tied along* side us, and some of her officers came aboard and saw us. They knew we were prlsoners-of-war, and they knew that a vessel carrying prisoners-of- war must not remain in neutral wa­ ters for over twenty-four hours, but they did not say anything about It That night two men named Barney Hill and Joyce, the latter a gunner from the Mount Temple, sneaked up on deck and aft to the poop deck. There was a pair of wooden stairs leading to the top of the poop deck, and Joyce and Hill lifted it and got it over the side with a rope to it The two of them got down into* the water all right, but Joyce let out a yell be­ cause the water was so cold, and a German patrol boat heard him and flashed a searchlight They picked up Joyce right away, but Barney was making good headway and was almost free when they dragged him in. They bea,t them ujp on the patrol boat, and when they put them back on the Yarrowdale Badewitz beat them up some more and put them in irons. Then he began to shoot at their feet with his revolver, and he had a sailor stand by to hand him another revol- when the first one was empty, n he would gash their faces with the barrel of the revolver and- shout, "I'm Badewitz. I'm the man who fooled the English," and shoot-at them some more. All the while the sailors wAre cele­ brating, drinking and eating, and yell­ ing, as usual, and the whistles on all the German ships were blowing, and they were having a great fest After about thirty hours we left being es­ corted by a mine-layer and a mine­ sweeper. I asked a German garby if that was the whole German navy, and he looked surprised and did not know I was kidding him, and said no. Then I said, "So the English got all the rest, did they?" and he htiinded me one in the mouth with his bayonet hilt so I quit kidding him. We saw rows and rows of mines, and the German sailors pointed out what they said were H. M. SS. Lion and Nomad, but I do not jthow wheth­ er they were the same ones that were In the Jutland battle or not. Finally we landed at Swinemunde Just as the bells were ringing the old year out and the new year in. We were a fine bunch of blackbirds to hand the kaiser for a New If ear's present, believe me. They mustered us up on deck, and each of us got a cup of water for our New fear's tpree. Then we saw we were in for It, and all hope gone, but we were glad to be released from our hole, because we had been prisoners since December 10--three days on the Moewe and eighteen 09 the Tarrow- dale--and the coal was not afcy eoftet than when we first sat on It,^ : 80 we began singing, "Padt op jronr troubles in your old kit bag and smile, boys, smile. What's the ing? It's never worth forth. They made us shut Up, W*t» before we asked ourselves if we were downhearted, and everybody yelled "No!" And that is how we i*n <nvr re­ gards to Swinemunde. ' >SiU CHAPTER XVIII. ̂ ick Up Your TroiiMn.*"* 1 We arrived at Swinemunde, on the east bank, and after we had had our drink of water and had been roasted back Into the bunkers, Badewitz went across to the west side in a launch with Joyce and Hill and a guard of sailors^ They were to be shot the next morning, w|th some others, at a ^public shooting-fest The rest of us wrapped ourselves In lumps of coal as best we could and tried to sleep. In the morning crowds of Germans came aboard us and were turned loose on the boxes In the hold. It was a sight to see them rip off the covers and 'gobble the salami and, oth­ er stuff that we carried. Table man­ ners are not needed when there is no table, I guess, but if you had seen them, you would say these Germans did not "even have trough manners. I have seen hogs that were more fin­ icky.
