_The Adventures of a Modern Pirate_
_Told by Count Dohna-Schlodien, her Commander, and Translated by
Eugenie Martin_
Everybody has heard of the _Moewe_, the German auxiliary cruiser
which on two occasions at least stole through the British blockade
and roamed about the Atlantic, sinking ships and occasionally sending
a prize like the _Appam_ into port. Count Dohna-Schlodien, the
captain of this latter-day privateer, is a popular hero in Germany.
These tales are translations of the gist of his exploits, as told in
the _Wide World Magazine_.
