Few of the chartered ships carried out their intentions, although their adventures were various. Hear the story of the _Unita_: Her skipper was Eno Olsen, a Canadian citizen born in Norway. Urhitzler, the German spy placed aboard, made the mistake of assuming that Olsen was friendly to Germany. He gave him his "orders," and the skipper balked. "'Nothing doing,' I told the supercargo," Captain Olsen testified later, with a Norwegian twist to his pronunciation. "She's booked to Cadiz, and to Cadiz she goes! So the supercargo offered me $500 to change my course. 'Nothing doing--nothing doing for a million dollars,' I told him. The third day out he offered me $10,000. Nothing doing. So," announced Captain Olsen with finality, "I sailed the _Unita_ to Cadiz and after we got there I sold the cargo and looked up the British consul." One picturesque incident of the provisioning enterprise was the piratical cruise of the good ship _Gladstone_, rechristened, with a German benediction, _Marina Quezada_. Under the name of _Gladstone_, the ship had flown the Norwegian flag on a route between Canada and Australia, but shortly after the outbreak of war she put into Newport News. Simultaneously a sea captain, Hans Suhren, a sturdy German formerly of the Pacific coast, appeared in New York, called upon Captain Boy-Ed, who took kindly interest in him, and then departed for Newport News. Here he assumed charge of the _Marina Quezada_. "I paid $280,000 in cash for her," he told First Officer Bentzen. After hiring a crew, he hurried back to New York, where he received messages in care of "Nordmann, Room 801, 11 Broadway, N. Y. C."--Captain Boy-Ed's office. Captain Boy-Ed had already told him to erect a wireless plant on his ship--the equipment having been shipped to the _Marina Quezada_--and to hire a wireless operator. He then handed Suhren a German naval code book, a chart with routes drawn, and sailing instructions for the South Seas, there to await German cruisers. Food supplies, ordered for the steamer _Unita_ (which at that time had been unable to sail) were wasting on the piers at Newport News and Captain Boy-Ed ordered them put in the _Marina Quezada_. Two cases of revolvers also were sent to the boat. Again Suhren went back to the ship and kept his wireless operators busy and speeded up the loading of the cargo, which was under the supervision of an employee of the North German Lloyd. Needing more money before sailing in December, 1914, he drew a draft for $1,000 on the Hamburg-American Line, wiring Adolf Hachmeister, the purchasing agent, to communicate with "Room 801, 11 Broadway."
