AN ESCAPE
AT SEA
• • A Yankee Prisoner Takes
I;; to the Water
I..
By WILLARD BLAKEMAN
In the nutuinn of 1014 when the Ger
man cruisers were destroying British
commerce on the high sens Jnck Mars
ton, an American boy, was nn or
dinary seaman aboard the English ship
Sea Gull. That wasn't the real name
of the vessel, but there are reasons
why It should be fictitious. Jnck had
been brought up on the Maine coast
nnd was as much at home In the water
ns on shore and nearly as much at
home In It as out of it At any rate,
he preferred to be In It
Just why he shi[>|>od aboard a Brit
ish vessel instead of an American does
not appear, though American ships be
ing few and far between It Is prob
able that he would have been obliged
to look for some time In order to get
a berth on one. He was In Portland
one day nnd, finding the 8ea Gull there
and about to make a trip to Valparaiso
and return, concluded to sign for the
voyage.
One morning when the Sea Gull was
not a hundred miles from the iwrt of
her destination her captain espied on
her port quarter a war vessel too far
distant to make out to what nation
she belonged. lie was not long In
doubt, for the ship headed for the Sea
Gull, and when she came near enough
the German flag was seen flying from
her stem. She proved to be tho Em
den, oue of the most remarkable of
the commerce destroying cruisers of
that period.
cnptnln nnd crow realized tlmt her
sailing days were ended. They were
taken nbonrd the Emden, nnd their
ship was scuttled nnd sunk. Tbnt
Jack Muretou whs a United States
citizen wns 110 especial advantage to
him, for, being n member of the crew
of a British ship, he wns subject to the
same terms ns the others. However,
there wns nothing to be done with the
cnptlvos until the Emden's commnnder
could find souie way of getting rid of
them, nnd they were nil kept aboard
the Emden. They were considered
prisoners of war, but not placed in con
finement Indeed, there were crrews
of two other captured Bhtps aboard,
besides a number of passengers.
Jnck had not shipped to bo kept
aboard a German cruiser, darting hith
er nnd thither hunting for the mer
chant marine of Germany's enemies,
and wns much disgruntled. lie told
the captain of the Emden that he was
nn American citizen and asked to be
furnished the means of getting ashore.
But he had no proofs of his citizenship
and even if he hnd would probably not
have been entitled to different treat
ment from the other captives.
Jack having nothing to do, his mind
turned on the problem of regnlning his
liberty. lie did n great deal of think
ing, with no practical result. There
may be regularly planned escapes, but
Jack, being out 011 the ocean, usually
hundreds of miles from shore, might
plnn till the crack of doom without
hitting upon any way of getting ashore
even If he could elude the officers nnd
crew of the Emden. If the cruiser had
put into port the matter might have
been feasible. But this she dared not
do, for British warships were watch
ing the harbors. Indeed, the safest
place for the Emden was far out at
sea, where the area was bo large that
sho was not likely to bo found, and If
sighted by an enemy too strong for
her sho would have plenty of room for
flight
Such being the case, Jnck soon made
up his mind that he must wait for an
opportunity, and an opportunity would
not likely arise unless the Emden
found It essential to approach the
coast, cither for supplies or to get rid
of her prisoners, who were making
great Inroads Into her stock of provi
sions.
Jack one morning on awakening was
surprised to Ree land not two miles
from the ship. The Emden was steam
ing northward, skirting the shore. The
re.ison for this was soon apparent
Jnck saw seaward a British man-of
war, cruising along in the same direc
tion ns the Emden. It was evident
that the latter was keeping within the
limit of three miles from shore, which
by international law is neutral waters.
Jack looked at the shore longingly. He
would have undertaken to swim to It,
but In broad daylight it would be Im
possible for hliu to leave the ship with
out being seen. He resolved to wait
till night. But when iilght enmo the
Idea of committing himself to the
black, inhospitable waters to swim be
| tween two or three miles to a shore ho
could not see was too much"" for even
his wnter pluck, and he dared not try
It. lie hoped for an opportunity Just
before dawn.
But during the mldwatch a fog roll
ed In, and the captain of the Emden,
taking advantage of It, ran out to sea
and when the next day the fog lifted
she was out of sight of land. Jack
ground his teeth, for he feared that he
would not again get so near the shore.
That day one of the Sea Gull's crew
died. The sailmaker of the Emden was
engaged In making a bag hi which to
give the cori>se a sea burial, and a
Jack snt watching him at work an Idea
entered I,Is head. One might put him
self in the bag in place of the corpse to
lie thrown overboard and thus escape.
Escape where? Swimming on the
bosom of an ocean unless there la a
vessel near or laud within reach Is an
undesirable change even from captiv
ity. No; there was nothing In that
Idea and it was banished.
That afternoon u cloud of smoke
appeared on I lie horizon, and soon the
black hull of a war vessel loomed up.
There was u commotion on board the
Emden, for the vessel alight -be a Brit
ish warship. The captain permitted
her to come close enough to seo that
she flew the union jack of Great Brit
ain and that she was n much larger
craft than the Emden. Then he be
gnn to show his heels.
That night the lights on the Emden
were darkened, and she changed her
course teveral times. Quite likely the
British ship also covered her lights. At
any rate, she was not to be seen. The
Etnden's captain hoped that when day
light came again lie would be rid of
her. Unfortunately for the Emden the
night was bright by the light of a full
moon, so that she could be seen by her
pursuers.
The next morning ut dawn Jack
Murston went on deck and at the first
break of day descried the British ship
somewhat ncurer tliau the night, before.
The Britisher must have discovered
the Emden at the same time, for a
dense cloud of smoke issuing from her
stacks Indicated that she was putting
fuel on her tires. The Emden followed
suit and made every effort to escape.
For a time It seemed that the English
she neither lust nor gained. Jack, who
was watching her closely, made up his
mind that she was slowly losing.
Now, the crew of the Sea Qull were
hoping that they would be rescued,
ami wheu Jack told them that the
Bri'lsher was slowly losing ground
they were much disappointed. Jack
determined to take an awful risk.
That was to get himself sewed up in
the burial bng and thrown overboard,
with the hope of being picked up by
the pursuing ship. He told his mates
of his plan and asked them to
help him. They looked upon his
scheme as foolhardy and tried to dis
suade him from it. But when they
found that this was impossible they
offered to do anything he suggested In
their power.
Jack's plan was this: The attention
of the officers and crew of the Emden
wn3 confined to getting away from the
pursuing ship. The Sea Gull's men
might steal the body, of their dead

bow Jack up In tlio tmrlal bag and
heave him overboard without permis
sion. They might omit the shot usual
ly tied to the ankles for sinking pap
poses, and Jack would not remain long
under water. On rising he would en
deavor to attract the attention of tha
Britisher. t'
The crew of the Sea Gull agreed to
do their part In the matter. If Jack
wished to commit suicide be might <k>
so. That wan his lookout, not theirs.
