The Panic Party: "The 'Saint Louis' became a 'Flying Dutchman.' It sailed from harbor to harbor, and despite the wonderful work of the panic party, no one was willing to relieve it of its pitiable freight.
Soon there were more 'Flying Dutchmen.' They sailed the South Seas, circled Australia, took on fresh water in Shanghai, tried to land at Samoa and complained their way across half the world.
Old salts cross themselves when they meet such a ship. The shrill shouts of slender Jewesses resound across the ocean's surface. Children howl like foghorns and five men are still holding a sixth, who is trying to leap into the sea to end the shame that has been done to him."
