APPAM'S CAPTOR IS VERYf SPEEDY: LOOKS - Like a fruit boat (Continued From Page One). of painting her ladyship-, was carried out within 100 miles of merry England. It happened either January I or 10. I know that because the black paint was till wet when I went over ber Bid on January 11. - Thar are marks of that German paint on my trousers legs yf .The skipper bestowed a glance of withering contempt at the great black smears that -marked his trous ers legs. W were three days out from Har tlepool., continued th captain, "about ISO miles northwest of Cap Flnls terre, in th Bay of Biscay, and Just about mat zrom xsngiana wnen we picked up th clumsy looking freighter dead astern. Gunwale aown with ooo tons of . coal as we were, th best could get out of the Corbridgs was nine knots. I took a look at the stranger through my binoculars - and decided she was a fruiter bound for the Mediterranean. .1 saw that she was low in ths water also, but figured she most be carrying a miscellaneous cargo. Fruiters don't carry fruit to th Mediterranean. : f v -' ?-r Too Fast For a Freighter. "Well, that old bird cam wabbling ut along doing about 1$ knots. X don't mind saying it annoyed me to see her do It- An honest freighter that can do 11 knots loaded 1 an noying to the other honest freighters. However, l let go ax tnat tor an hour Or so and then had another look. This time X could make ont th Brit ish flag at ber stern. It was a mer chant flag. The only trouble with it was that It was too big. It was so big that it pretty nearly hid ber poop. "Th longer x looaea at tn nag. th less X liked It- She bad too much speed and too much flag to suit me at all. But X let it go at that for an other hoar or so. - " i- "And then' as it was 5 o'clock, X left the bridge and went, ; below . to have legam to Fir..,'.; : ' ' T hadn't any more than got com fortably seated when X heard a shell alp over my ship. At About th sum instant my first mate, an - excitable Irishman, earn tumbling down th hatchway. , , -; : '. ! - - "Tbeyrs dropping raster ana rast er says ne. -.5-,,-: -r xni bs aoovs presently, , sate, a xin- ishing my tea,".,;----. - - " - V.-.'-. - We'll be Oeiow sooner,' says my mae. - "' . ; "With the ecreamlng or tnose sneus becoming one long continuous shriek X was Inclined to agree witn mm; ana went above. Than w got s xreaa sur prise. - ' .'. . . peeas Alter stew uunr, - That dishonest freighter suddenly veered away from us and showed u the cleanest pair of neels I ever saw, It h wasn't doing 2S knots she was golc g . backwards and she wasn't go ing backwards.. -j. "Why she had left us so uncere moniously became evident : a minute later when we . saw what eh . had seen the poor old Farringford home ward bound. My lady with th cruiser bottom and. the tramp - top structure did not bother to deceive th Farring- frd. ! H opened fire atrflv miles and the very first shell went over th irarrlngf ord and hit the water a hair mile on the other side of her. -. . - 'And then nice. sane, gentlemanly landlubber, try to tell seamen that this Pongaj -lady actually is . a freighter. They eusht - to - ask somebody- that knows a little bit about it and find out how a ship was to he built to mount a gun- that will shoot a shell six miles. ; I did considerable praying at about this time, it was getting dark fast but not half fast enough for torn. Th burden of my prayers was that those uermaa gunners . would continue to overshoot the Farringford. The longer it took them to sink - that poor old thing the better my chance . would be of gettlag away In the dark. - - i "And then on of th Ponga's shells struck the Farringford on the water line and we knew our game was up. "The instant the Ponga saw she had settled the Farringford she turned off and, headed back to me. And when I saw that bow weve she made. X rang down to 'atop my engines and waited. I had a suspicion the Ponga was never going to sink me. She needed what X i had.- , i Hoped to Savs Cargo. "Of course. X could have scuttled my boat and robbed that German lady of 6000 tons of th very best Welsh coal that . was over mined. I'v been ex tremely sorry oyer sines that I did not. But up"to that moment X bad hoped to get away and my coal waa consider ably needed wher it was bound for. "They- boarded me at one and looked me over. Then they put all of us, except seven alien in the craw, in one of our own small boats and directed us to row over to their ship. The seven aliens may get that outfit into serious trouble. Four of them ar Greeks, two Spaniards and one a Por tuguese. "Meanwhile the Farrlngf ords crew had taken to their small boats and got alongside the Ponga about the same time we did. The minute we cam over tbie side we were seised by armed sailor i and marched below to a boarded-in part of the 'tween decks, over th ma n ammunition magaxlc. Take Feep at Beavtk. "At daylliht of th twelfth the skipper of U e Ponga sent for me to come to th chart nous. Th Cor brldge was lj ing off our port quarter. Th German commander Informed me he wanted m i to go back to th Cor brldg and pe rsaud those seven aliens to sign some sort of A paper waiving their rights and agreeing to be peace able tnember of the prlxe crew. - X refused to do any such thing until X heard something that sounded like "court martial.' X did some quick thinking then, and decided I might be of more us, to my country alive than dead and agreed, on condition that X could also get some of my per sonal belongings tnat were of value only to myself. ' J 4 PeHoW acasoa Gives Aid. "I explained that chiefly what X wanted was my Masonlo regalia, which was wrapped up In a waterproof case in my cabin. X bad three dlplon one I got from th Masonlo lodg in Tacoraa,,Wash where X took my first degrees. But th skipper could not un derstand m at all. Than on of the lieutenants, who was a. Mason x plained, and permission followed. X found out mors in the next few days about what Masonry means than X ever did in all my life. It works even la war times between enemies. ered my cabin bad been rifled and ev erything X owned had disappeared my Masonlo regalia included. - ' - "When w got back to-the Pongs, X got another look at her under body. For all th fact that inside she was fitted up - with Insulation and lifts. such aa fruiter should carry, her un der body showed that she actually had no carrying capacity at all. ; On the next day, January - It, w came up with the 'Dromonby, the author and the trader. Practiced had improves these German gunners. They Just about finished each on of these boats with th ; first pair of sheila. Th Sad of TelaeTavish. "It wa along about S o'clock In th afternoon on the 16th w picked up the Appam. X expect what happened then has been, told often enough not to need my version. . But It was the next day that the real show cam off. And this tkn all us skippers happened to be in th chart house, where w had been sent for by th skipper. He was Just felling us. that th next alio we got, ' he wa not , going to sink, but would us her to put us all aboard with s prise crew when th lookout sung out and ws discovered a slse- abl freighter on th horizon off our starboard - bow. . t She waa the Clan MaoTavish mounting a po gun aft, that turned out to be a three pounder. "If th Appam passengers call it a fight, their ideas of a fight are a little wrong. . The whole thing was over to no time and after th Ponga had shot 11 shotsf th MacTeavlch Just tossed up its. head and - pitched stern first into the sea. "All aboard the MacTavlsh survived except four wounded men who were kept on board th Pongs, Ths rest of us wars transhipped that.night to the Appam. Th Appam never meant to come into an American., port. . X am sure the original plan was for her to make for some out or th way - spot in th West Indies, put us ashore and then fit out as a raider on her own account. Personally, X nave reason to ballOT. she Put Into Newport . News because she absolutely bad to. She had less than 24 hours supply or lubricating oil for her engines. That X positively know."
