On the FrederickVIII were Messrs. Herbert Swope of the NewYorkWorld and William C. Bullitt of the PhiladelphiaLedger, who had been spending some time in Germany.
Captain Thomson of the FrederickVIII, the ship which carried us to America and back to Copenhagen, by his evident mastery of his profession gave to all of his passengers a feeling of confidence on the somewhat perilous voyage in those dangerous waters. When I reached America, on October eleventh, I was given a most flattering reception and the freedom of the City of New York.
Our trip home on the FrederickVIII was without incident except for the fact that on the ninth day of October, Swope came to the door of my stateroom about twelve o'clock at night and informed me that the captain had told him to tell me that the wireless had brought the news that German submarines were operating directly ahead of us and had just sunk six ships in the neighbourhood of Nantucket.

On the occasion of our visit to Kirkwall, on this trip, a Swede, who had been so foolish as to make a sketch of the harbour and defences of Kirkwall from the top deck of the FrederickVIII, was taken off the boat by the British. The British had very cleverly spotted him doing this from the shore or a neighbouring boat, through a telescope.
