Adelbert Zuckschwerdt, who won international fame as commander of the German raider ~ormorant during the World War, pent yesterday in Juneau before leaving for eastern Admiralty Is- land points on a hunt for brown bear. He was accompanied by W. C. Maeser and W. John Harris,' the latter as guide ¢f the expedition. Capt. Zuckschwerdt arrived herc on the Pandora, converted subchas- er, owned by the Maeser interests and which has been operating in Southeast Alaska all season with charter parties. The party left early today for Gambier Bay and later - will visit the Maeser fox ranch at Tebenkoff Bay. The German veteran is interested in fox breeding and has 20 pairs of silver foxes on his estate in Pomerania. This estate was form- erly owned by the great German Chancellor, Bismark. While here yesterday, Capt. Zuckschwerdt call- ed on Gov. Parks and was a guest last night at the American Legion and Auxiliary mixer and card party where he was cordially greet- ted. At the outbreak of the war, the Cormorant, under Capt. Zucksch- werdt’s command, was stationed in| Chinese waters. It escaped to the high seas before it could be in-| terned and, being short of coal, held up a Russian steamer of 5,000 tons, This vessel was consid- erably larger than the German ship and Capt. Zuckschwerdt trans- ferred his crew, equipment in- cluding guns, and stores to the captured boat. With it he eeded to and was soon kept busy dodging British and other warships. Finally, pursued closely by a British squadron, in the vicinity of Guam, the American naval base in the Ladrone Islands, he head- ed for that port. His coal supply gave out before he could make the refuge. He blew up his ship and| took to open boats with his crew. They were picked up by an Amen- can warship from Guam just be- fore the British ships reached the| scene. After internment at Guam| for one year, when the United Stat- ‘es entered the conflict Capt. Zuck- | schwerdt and his men were brought to the United States and held in military prisons as prisoners of war, Memphis’ 1941 Exposition Recalls River Discovery MEMPHIS, Tenn, Oct. 16— Looking ahead ten years, Memphis® Committee of 100 is at work on plans for the Pan American Inter-| national exposition to be held here in 1941.
