How did I get into Strassburg in war-time?
That is my own story, quite a simple one, but I do not propose totell it now except by analogy, in order not to get anybody intotrouble.
During my last voyage across the ocean, which was on the Dutchliner _Rotterdam_, I went into the fo'castle one day to talk to astowaway, a simple young East Prussian lad, who had gone to sea andhad found himself in the United States at the outbreak of war.
"How on earth did you manage to pass through the iron-cladregu...lations at the docks of Hoboken (New York) without a permit, and why did you do it?" I asked.
"I was home-sick, " he answered, "and I wanted to go back to Germanyto see my mother. I got on board quite easily. I noticed agentleman carrying his own baggage, and I said to him, 'Can I carryyour suitcases on board, sir?'" Once on board his knowledge of ships told him how to hide.
Having myself stood for more than two hours on the quay in a longand growling queue of passengers, I could not but be amused by thesimple device by which this country youth had outwitted thestringent war embarkation regulations of war-time New York.
