On December 6th we met the _Wolf_ again for a short time, exchanged signals, and received a further supply of canned crab, the _Wolf_ having an inexhaustible supply which she had got from the _Hitachi_. We had so much crab that the very sight of a can of it was nauseating. I feel sure that should a waiter in a restaurant ever suggest crab to any of the ex-prisoners on the _Wolf_, he would have a very unpleasant time of it. During the night of the 6th, the _Wolf_ left us, taking a more northerly route than we. At this time, Lieutenant Rose had told the Spanish ex-Captain that we were en route to Trinidad Island, Brazil, where _Wolf_ would get what additional coal she required, and then we, the _Igotz Mendi_, should, after waiting 10 days at the island, proceed to Spain. This, of course, made us feel very happy and I know that the Cameron family were overjoyed with the prospects of getting safely landed after such a long time. Many of us took up the study of the Spanish language, and some very queer conversations were carried on. When I tried to talk Spanish, I would usually get stuck for a Spanish word and put in a German one; then if I couldn't think of the German word, would use English, the result was that neither a Spaniard nor a German could understand me. Sometimes I couldn't figure it out myself. We enjoyed fine weather and managed to keep alive on the food, which was some task. When we got up from the table hungry, we would think of Spain and freedom in a few short weeks, and forget all about how empty we were. On December 18th the _Wolf_ again picked us up; it seemed that she could appear at will like some gigantic evil spirit. The _Wolf_ wig-wagged the information that on December 14th she met and sank the French bark _Marechal Davoust_, bound from Australia to France with a cargo of grain. This bark was equipped with wireless and had two guns mounted on her, but offered no resistance to the _Wolf_. _Wolf_ took the crew, provisions, ships stores, the wireless, and also his two cannon, off the Frenchman, later in the day sinking her by bombs.
