Excerpt from A Captive on a German Raider
The chart at noon on the twenty-sixth marked five hundred and eight miles from Colombo, two thousand, nine hundred and twelve to Delagoa Bay, and one hundred and ninety to the Equator; only position, not the course, being marked after the ship left Co lombo. Most of the passengers had, as usual, either dozed on the deck or in their cabins after tiflin, my wife and I being in deck chairs on the port side. When I woke up at one forty-five I saw far off on the horizon on the port bow, smoke from a steamer. I was the only person awake on the deck at the time, and I believe no other passenger had seen the smoke.
It was so far away that it was impossible to tell whether we were meeting or overtak ing the ship. Immediately thoughts of a raider sprang to my mind, though I did not know one was out. It is generally under stood that instructions to Captains in these times are to suspect every vessel seen at sea.
