Ten months in a German raider

A seafaring captain recounts a transoceanic voyage that ends with his vessel's interception by a disguised war cruiser and subsequent internment aboard the raider and a captured prize. He narrates daily life under confinement, interactions with the raider's officers and crew, the fate of other captured ships, and the challenges faced by his wife and young daughter who were aboard. The account blends action at sea—engagements, prize handling, and shipboard burials—with reflections on the hardships of imprisonment and the procedures of naval warfare, concluding with the eventual removal to neutral coastlines and the practical aftermath of the ordeal.
