He leaves many friends in the Far East, since he has travelled this part of the world during the better part of his life, Captain Brandt brought the "Saale" into Hong Kong on Thursday and leaves to-day for Shanghal, this being his last trip Eastwards.
Born in Bremen. Captain Brandt went to sea at the age of 14 and has sailed round the globe for the past 45 years.
He started his career in sailing ships and went four times round the world in them. He has only been involved in a collision, once, and this occurred when he was an able seaman on a Canadian wind- jammer named the Lake Ontario, Proceeding up the English Chan- net through one of the dense fogs that are so prevalent in that par: of the world, the Lake Ontario came into collision with a 10.000 ton steamer, which was no badly holed as a result that she sank in less than 10 minutes with a loss of four lives. All the survivors were cked up by the windjammer and conveyed safely to port.

Police Station was next called, and in evidence he said that defendant made a statement after being charged at the station to the effect "I was banished. I came to Hong Kong to find my friend."
DEFENDANT'S STORY Defendant, in the witness box, said that he was banished on July 8, but returned to Hong Kong on July 14. He did not come ashore, however, and returned to Kong Moon. He paid another visit to the "Colony some days later, ar- r.ving here on July 18, when he noticed that the ss. "Tin Shun" was lying alongside the Sal Kong
Wharf."
He hired a sampan to board the vessel, where he remained until 5,30 o'clock in the evening. While on board the "Tin Shun" he noticed the steamers "Lee Hong" and "Su Ta!" leaving for Macao, and ten minutes later two Chinese detec- tives came on board the ship and arrested him.

WAR SERVICE When war was declared in 1914. he offered his service to his coun- try and was made a commander of ne of the famous German patrol boats in the dangerous North Sea. He served throughout, the war in this capacity and after the armis- tice once more associated himself with the N.D.L.. being appointed to the m.v: Bremerhaven, which is still running regularly to the East.
Captain Brandt has a wife and two children, a boy and a girl, but so far the boy, is only 17 years of age, has shown no inclination to follow in the footsteps of his fa- ther.
