VON LUCKNER--3 Twenty of us accompanied one of our friends and his bride on their honeymoon aboard Von Luckner's post-war four-masted sailing shtp, the Mopel1a, na■ed for that coral atoll fn the a.aa South Seas. One stop on that most extraordinary of all honeymoons was at the island or San Salvador where Columbus made his first land-fall. The only inhabited we found was a Dominican priest who was · unhappy because he said the people of Chicago had put up a large statue of eol1111bua, on the wrong side of the island. So, we organized a midnight expeit1t1on, and in long boats with chains and crowbars, around we went to rescue Co~u■bua, and please the D0111hican priest. I can still hear Von Luckner's boo■tng laughter when we discovered that Columbus was too much for 118. We couldn't even pull htm off his pedestal. One more memory -- at the end of the war, when I was with General Terry Allen and the Tlmberwolf D1v1s1on, we fonnd the Von Luckners at Halle, 1n Saxony, his old home VON LUCKIER--4 town. Thanks to Terry Allen he saved the city from destructton and then we put them l!n touch with Gen . era! Patton who tmmedlately took a fancy to the Sea Devil, and kept the Von Luckners fro■ falltng into the hands of the Russians; The World War One hero who raided the seas and never took a life. Wish I cou~d go on for an hour Just talking about the Sea ; Devil -- how in World War Two Hitler kept Von Luckner under guard, but evidently because of his tDe■endous popularity was afraid to put him in a concentration camp. How correspondents used to see him with hls guards at the bar at the Hotel Adlon tn Berlin; how he would drink the■ under the table and then go home alon,;, Warren. By Joe -- what a man.
