Count Luckner, says one observer, "combines in his talks the buoyancy of Conrad, the mystery of Sherlock Holmes, the piquancy of Mark Twain, the nimble gesturing of Douglas Fair- banks, and the stage finesse of George Arliss. He has spoken during the past twleve months in most of the principal cities of the country to crowds that have taxed the capacities of the most spacious auditoriums. A luncheon talk before the Chicago Rotary club last spring held more than 1,000 listen- ers spellbound for two solid hours, his hearers calling for more and ever more of his thrilling experiences as a sea raider during the World war when he achieved a notable record for capturing enemy ships and, what is more notable still, the reputation of never having destroyed a human life. "The Sea Devil" His sobriquet of "The Sea Devil" came to Count Luckner in the midst of the World war. "What a career this modern swash-buckler has crowded into the last fifteen years," reads a comment, "It was the call of the sea that lured him away from home and school at the age of 13 years, from a home where he had all the advantages that go with a 'Noble' family. For years he sailed the 'seven seas,' as kitchen boy, deckswabber, and general roustabout. His sea adventures took him into virtually every country on the globe. And land adventures? He was a bar-boy in San Francisco, bell-boy in New York, kitchen boy in Chicago. In Rangoon he assisted a Hindu fakir; in New Zealand he was a Salvation Army recruit; in Queensland he became the champion prizefighter. But the experiences of youth-- equally romantic and bitter-- brought about the awakening of seri- ous-minded manhood.
