The "Sea Devil" Swaps War Yarns With Admiral

Sir Reginald Hall

FIGHTEEN years ago a tall schooner was sailing the Southern Atlantic, looming up beside a merchant ship at dusk, threatening her with guns, ordering the crew into boats, sinking the ship, The crew would then be taken aboard the schooner and landed at a neutral port.
