Had my plans for reaching the fast steamer from Liverpool to New York carried and had the ship sailed on schedule, I should have been in New York in ten days, but now I had to make the best of the situation, so I decided to embark on the S. S. United States of the Scandinavian-American Line from Oslo which was due in New York just one week later than the other ship, and if run on schedule generally arrived in New York nine days after leaving Oslo.
I said to myself: "I will go to America and see my dear friends, and then return to go to 'The Land of the Long Night." I could cross the Sound, go to Copenhagen, the city was almost in sight, and a nice city it is, and take one of the comfortable steamers of the Thingvalla Line, now called Scandinavian-American Line, for New York.
Accompanied by 148 pacifists, he sailed on the Scandinavian-American liner, Oscar II, early in December, 1915, with the avowed purpose of ending the war before Christmas. The expedition was viewed dubiously by the allied powers, who discerned pro-German propaganda in the presence of Teutonic sympathizers among the delegates.
