STUDENT CRUISE IS VON LUCKNER'S PLAN

A number of Harvard students will have an opportunity of going to sea with Count Felix Von Luckner during the summer after next, according to the Count's present plans as outlined to a CRIMSON reporter yesterday. The present plans for the cruise will take approximately ten American university students along with five German men through the Panama Canal to the West Coast, for adventure, the group to enjoy enroute participation in gunning, fishing, and harpooning.

"We shall take my new 140-foot schooner," said Von Luckner, "with about ten men from different universities, and five German boys, fine fellows, and go on a cruise for real adventure. You Americans don't know enough about life on the sea, you have no real sailormen; your sailors are all in unions, and they go to sea merely because they can get good pay. You should interest your young boys in the sea.

"My idea is to interest some college boys, so that when they are men they will encourage training ships on the high sead. I want them to know what it's like to be off by yourself with a few comrades, blue sea shining all around you, blue sky all above you, the fun of bauling ropes, setting sails, keeping a night watch and steering a boat.

"On our cruise we shall take the schooner down the Atlantic coast, around the Gulf of Mexico, through the Panama Canal, and up the Western coast. We shall take harpoon guns, fish lines, nets, rifles, tents for camping on shore, and an awning to spread over the deck, so that we can sleep out on hot nights. If anyone has a good boat, he can bring it along too. We are going in search of adventure, and we shall get some.

"We sailors are comrades, and I want to be friends with everyone. When a boy is called to war, it is his highest duty to answer his country's call. It is not his fault that he must have enemies. But when the war stops, we must become friends. Our life is too short to waste in holding a grudge against anyone. Sailors, who have faced a hurricane together, know what true comradeship is worth."
