...drew freely on his imagination, particularly in respect to the escape of the crew on board the Ayesha. Lieut. Capt. Helmuth von Mikke's account in his book Ayesha relates that the landing force of approximately 56 men, sent ashore by Capt. Miller to destroy the wireless station on Keeling Island (English), did just that and was caught ashore when the cruiser Sidney engaged and sank the Emden. Contrary to your romantic "jungle hiding," the landing party which was, of course, now in command of the island, outfitted the schooner Ayesha (97 tons) and, in spite of warnings...
...Saracoglu refused all demands, and at length departed, with Soviet and Turkish flags decorating the Moscow station, a band alternating between the Internationale and the Turkish national anthem and a courteous Soviet communique announcing that the two countries still retained their friendship. Later, however, the Moscow newsorgan Izvestia ominously hinted that Turkish-Russian relations had soured.

...hour later venerable King Gustaf V, 81, was at the Stockholm railway station and Swedish newshawks watched attentively to note how many kisses His Majesty would bestow on his fellow sovereigns Danish King Christian X, 69, and that monarch's brother, Norwegian King Haakon VII, 67.

The new National Association of Broadcasters code, if enforced by the 51 stations constituting Father Coughlin's pickup chain, would effectively bar him from the air as a lone-ranging controversialist. One station (WIRE of Indianapolis) has already barred Father Coughlin, but the showdown on all 51 may not come for some months. And before then there may be a new choosing...
From the Petrolea pumping station at the Barco field the pipe line snaked up 5,400 feet over the Eastern Andes, then down through miles of rotting jungle to the sea, thrice crossed the Magdalena River or its branches. It cost Cap Rieber and Socony-Vacuum a cold $40,000,000 ($18,000,000 for the pipe line; $22,000,000 for development work). "Hell!" says Cap Rieber, "if they wanted to move the Chrysler Building to Colombia, we'd do it -if they...
