We were prisoners of war, all taken before Christmas 1914, and had been
drafted to Libau, on the Baltic coast.
Towards the end of 1916 a party of us were working on the docks when a
German naval officer approached and began talking to us.
During the conversation he said he had met several English admirals and
named some of them.
After a little while a Cockney voice from the rear of our party said,
"'Ave you ever met Jellicoe, mate?"
The officer replied in the negative, whereupon the Cockney said, "Well,
take yer bloomin' ships into the North Sea: he's looking for yer."--_F.
