Zeeder of Manchuria on Ocan.50 Years —— New York, Jan. 3.—When the Pan- ama-Pacific liner Manchuria from 2un Francisco via the Panama Canal was safely made fast at Pier 59 North River yesterday, Captain Adrian Zee- der, the master, signed the manifest and ships articles for the crew to be paid off and went to the custom house to enter %\e ship, the closing act of Yalf a cenfury spent at sea in all parts of the world. He was born sixty years ago near Cape Town, South Africa, of an old family of Dutch navigators, and start- ed his carcer at the age of ten by running away from school and ship- ping as boy on a T75-ton fishing | schooner trading to Mozambique and | Madagascar. At 14 young Zeeder, | who was husky for his age, was ap- | prenticed to the famous “Black Ball” line of ‘clipper ships, trading from london to Calcutta, and after pass- ing his examinations he rose to the command of a sailing ship in the China trade in the good old days when the bo-sun called all hands by banging on the foc'sle door or scuttle h an iron belaying pin and singing out “Tumble out lively, you ——! God help the last man.” | In speaking of the days when he | was mate of a packet ship from San | YFrancisco to Shanghai, Captain Zee- der said: | “It was a hard life, and a mate had to be tough to get along. 1 found that the best way was to wait four or five days after we got away to see who was the cock of the foc'sle and then lick him, After that T had to lick the “old man,” the skipper, and then we might enjoy a little peace in lhl“; ship and get the work don 1 Captain Zeeder, who stands six feet | in his seaboots and still is very mus. cular, said that he was only h\lmmn and had always tried to get along| with his shipmates as well as he could. stronz ¥or Discipline i “There must be diseipline in a ship, | or olse overything goes to pieces,” he | suid. “Crews like a captain who Folds a taut rein over them and knows his job” He has many stor- | fes of beating to the westward round Cape “Stff" us sailors term Cape Horn, in small ships and of being dis masted, and catching foot bluc sharks off the Cape of Good Hope, He was twenty years in the Pacific | Mauil Steamship company, trading be- | tween San Francisco d Hongkong, | and was called “King” Zeeder in the | Yar Bast because he took his ship | fnto Hongkong harbor during Hw} typhoon in August, 1009, while nearly a hundred steamships of all sizes walted outside for the weather to moderate and many vessels were sunk. as Pet Birds, Captain Zeeder is unmarried; Dis only pets are four canarics whiel fiy about his eabin and answer to their Spanish names like ehildren-— Don Enrique, Don Martine, Don Tav- 1o and Don Carlos, When they sing too loudly the captain calls out to the offenders: “Don Carlos and Don Pavio, yon are bad lads.
