Some thief was stealing jewelry from the passengers' cabins; $25,000 worth was missing without a clue. With 600 stewards aboard, most of whom were as yet unknown to the officers, it looked like a hopeless case. Capt. Ziegenbein assembled 50 stewards whom the officers did know by sight, formed a ''vigilance committee." Before the Bremen docked, all the jewelry was recovered from the clutches of one Hans Barklage, a shrewd thief...
