| Summary | "Five Months on a German Raider" by Frederic George Trayes is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative recounts the true experiences of the author, an Englishman, who is captured by the German raider "Wolf" during World War I while aboard the Japanese ship "Hitachi Maru." The story delves into themes of survival, the horror of warfare at sea, and the complexities of human behavior under duress. At the start of the book, the author details the initial journey aboard the "Hitachi Maru," sharing a sense of calm before disaster strikes. After noticing smoke on the horizon—a sign of an approaching ship—the passengers are swiftly engulfed in chaos as they discover they are being attacked by the German raider "Wolf." The scene escalates when the raider opens fire, leading to panic among the crew and passengers, who must scramble for lifeboats while dealing with the frightening reality of shellfire. The opening sets the stage for their harrowing ordeal, establishing the uncertainties of life at sea during wartime and the resilience of those caught in dire circumstances.
