THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON. D. C. DECEMBER PART Modern Odyssey of Capt. Lauterbach a'T hrilling Experience BY DAVID CARTER. ouF t the present mo. ment there are some pounds of hero draped over | the rafl of a sailing vessel tied up in the Hudson River. This bulk of avoirdupois belongs to Herr Capt. Julius Lauterbach, and the heroism belongs to Germany. Above the sagging rail the captain’s | florid but cherubic face seems, out of baby blue eves, to regard the apart ment - crowned Palisades. Instead those eves are reminiscently visioning the open sea and the waste spaces of the Southern fic islands, where. in spite of his bulk, the captain w: repeatedly too spry for wartime in- telligence officers the allied nations.

Before the declaration of hostilities Capt.

During the activities of the ider, Capt. Lauterbach filled the dual role of navigator and prize-of- ficer under von Mueller. It was the in who knew where rich Ing- and ench c; were to be found. It was the captain who could direct the privateer into calm, hidden lagoons when, after a sudden success- ful attack upon a British base, British hips came hot on the Emden’s is naval von trail. It was then that, according to the captain, the Emden aided other Ger- man ships 1o defeat the English squadron, thus making the coast clear for raiding. The Emden turned south through the Dutch Islands to the Indian Ocean. picking up 21 enemy cargo ship: aided Penang, n gunboat Yem French _destroyer Mousquet, swept in upon Madras to fire the oil tanks, repaired at Dio Grazie in the Malay Islands and made for the Cocos Islands, to break up the cable station there. Near Cocos they 6,000-ton steamer terbach, as prize-officer, was p| charge of her to convo the Emden to its next retreat. Mueller went into the harbor of Cocos: Lauterbach waited nearby. He waited six weeks, his_great bulk swinging along the bridge like a captive bear, his blue eves squinting anxiously at the empty horizon. He did not know that a faster and better armed cruiser, flying the Brit ish flag, had bombarded the Emden behind Cocos until the German craft took fire, and that Mueller had left his ship stranded on the corals, escap. ing in an open boat. But at the end of six weeks the captain took matters into his own hands and sought safety in the neu- tral Dutch port of Padang. He was not safe, even at Padang.

An Indian handed him the keys to the outer doors. The night was black and every- where about the prison camp he heard the distraction of rioting crowds.

Lauterbach began his months of weary, fearsome travel The natives took him to a nearby islet, which he crossed, ragged and wet, on foot, and came out of the underbrush only when he sighted a junk in one of the bays. He hailed this_junk, which proved to be bound for Sumatra, a Dutch province. But once in Sumatra, fearing to show himself, he walked again by night, his great bulk plodding through woods or along narrow, perilous path- ways. The Rritish had advertised Lauterbach was responsible for the Indian revolution in Singapore, and even the Dutch were bound to search that suddenly apprehended. But the genial, seraphic-faced captain was released by the Dutch local high court, and he s enabled to hire a motor boat for nsportation to Batavia. Though he dared not show himself to any big steamer and could travel trs “STARTING FROM THE PRISON CAMP AT SINGAPORE, LAUTERBACH STAGED ONE OF THE MOST DRAMATIC CROSS-COUNTRY FLIGHTS IN THE HISTORY OF WAR.” chuckled over ! his | There were more | So, in the night, in a little sampan, | long | for him.

LAUTERBACH, FORMER PRIZE OFFICER AND TOR OF THE EMDEN, NOW REVISITING AMERICA ON |ing safe | with only by the most obscure routes, Lau- techack was now determined to cross the thousands of miles between Malaysia and Germany and report for turther service during the war. All his little pawnlike moves from island to island for the next few weeks were made with the far port of Hamburg in view as the goal. Somewhere in the Celebes Archipelago, in the Indian Ocean, he’ found a little sampan, 5 vards long and tippy, and three native fishermen, who guaranteed to get him to_the Philippines. With these three natives, to whom { he could not speak a word, he crossed to Mindanao in a seven-day cruise, rough water and cold making him dead sleepy as he clung desperately, hour after hour, to the tiller Capt. Lauterback tells with enthu- siasm of the relief he experienced in | being greeted Mindanao by the American official_in charge there, a Lieut. Malone. This officer, still a neutral, did everything in his power for the fatigued and portly captain, offering him a mule for his passage across this island, but the captain only laughed “1 know mules,” he said. “They get my big carcass on hoard and we start off all right, but before we get very far they lie down and say enough is enough. I don’t like the little boats. But 1 haf had enough walking. 1 don't trust your mule. I stay by the sea." al He did not know what walking was ahead of him. At Malabang the sampan left him and he had no means of getting to the northern part of | that island, where, at Cebu, he hoped | to catch _an American packet for Manila. The American police would give him no protection in the interior, | which was inhabited by head hunters. | “You are a combatant, and we are | neutrals,” they told him. “Travel at | your own risk.” * | So for two days and two nights, in a pouring rain, the captain trudged through brush, fearing at every step he might hear a whoop which would presage the adornment of a native mantelpiece with a red, cherubic- faced head. He finally arrived, however, at Cebu. “Probably the rain saved me by keeping dose savages indoors,” he Once again he entered civilization, took steamer for Manila and there obtained passage, as a Dutchman, aboard a_Japanese steamer bound for Shanghal WHAT happened at Shanghai and immediate afterward may have been less physically exhausting, but it was certainiy more exciting than any other part of the dauntless captain’s astounding flight.

SMALLWOOD, a big man in little Washington, lived on Virginia avenue south- east, over a hundred years ago, and the Rambler will tell you of him and of some of his friends and neighbors. His home was No. 324 Virginia avenue east, and citizens of age and wisdom agree that Mr. Small- wood lived “on the Navy Yard.” It was a quarter of the town hard to hound, but the Smallwood home and Smallwood’s wharf and lumber yard were in that quarter, To give this story a start, I will quote from a paper read by Madison Davis before the Columbia Historical Society No- vember 12, 1900, on “The Navy Yard Section During the Life of the Rev. Kalorama, with its aristocratic own. ers—the Barlows, the Decaturs, the Bomfords and others—has been the theme of many a pleasing narrative; Greenleaf’s Point has not infrequently had its ancient glories portrayed b admiring pens; while other equally in- teresting localities have been given their full share of public attention. But that section of the city lying east of Third street, east and south of East Capitol street, particularly that part of it contiguous to the United States Navy Yard, and generall known in old times the ‘Nav Yard Hill' seems to have been practi lly ignored by investigators of Washington's early history. “Why this is so is not easy to de. termine. In beauty of situation, oc William Ryland.” Mr. Davis said “In looking over the many inter- esting ‘contributions to the history of the Federal City that have been made from time to time in the daily papers and in other periodicals, well as those embraced in the proceedings of the Columbia Historical Society, 1 have been somewhat surprised that little ar nothing is said of the ex treme eastern or Navy Yard section of the city, or of any of its old resi- dents who, by their talents, virtues, or peculia f character, should have rendered t se m.me orable. “Much has been written about David Burnes and his cottage, and | of his pretty daughter and her dis tinguished hushand; the old suburb of | the | in | of some of 1ts public institutions, and cupying as it does a high plateau ex- tending down to the waters of the Anacostia River, in former days a very beautiful stream, this section was assuredly the superior of many arts of the city that have since gone ahead of it in wealth and modern im- provement. In the extent of its pop- ulation it was for many vears after the foundation of the city very n equal, and in some ca more than the equal, of the other official subdivisions of the city. And cer- ainly in the character of its citizens the venerableness and usefulness beauty of manv behind the in the comtort and of its homes it was not rest of the municipality.” SERTRAREY Telling of old citizens of the N Yard, Mr. Davis said: “Mr. Small wood was one of the first of the city's merchants, being mostly engaged in the lumber business. He owned one of the wharves on the Anacostia River near the foot of Fourth street, and was actively engaged in many other things. He was a director in one of the banks; was an incorporator of the Washington City Canal, which was expected by its projectors to be a mine of wealth to the stockholders nd a source of great benefit to the ity; was one of the incorporators of the Navy Yard Bridge Co., which buiilt the first bridge over the Anacostia after the two bridges across thet stream were destroyed during the in- vasion of the city by the Britidh in 1814; was one of the managers of the public lottery, authorized by the city government for raising funds for the building of public schoolhouses and of the City Hall, and was mavor of Washington from 1819 to 1822, and again from June to September, 1824. | He died in 1824.
