VON LUCKNER’S SHIP
THE SEE ADLER BOOK OF HER ADVENTURES. Pres* Ais ociation—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, February 28. Von Buckner's daring exploits in the See Adler are picturesquely told in 1 The Sea Devil,' which was published to-day. The ship ran through a British blockade in the course of a storm, and emerged successfully from a search, one of the crew, bewigged, passing as the skipper’s wife. Ranging the South Atlantic and Pacific she scuttled £5,000,000 worth of shipping. During 1917 she sank fourteen English, French, Canadian, and American vessels. Despite the havoc, she gained a reputation for never having taken a human life. She was eventually wrecked on Mopellia Island by a tidal wave, and captured.
