Raiding in the Pacific and the Seeadler's aftermatch
In a reminiscence from 1917 Haldor Smith recounts the German raider Seeadler under Count von Luckner catching and burning the Slade after a faux prize crew, while the Johnson foiled German attempts to sink her with lumber, guns, and bombs. The tale follows overwrought action, shipboard life, and the grim patience of raiding in the South Pacific.
