John Buchan, 1st Baron Tweedsmuir PC GCMG GCVO CH (1875 – 1940) was a Scottish novelist, historian, biographer and editor. Outside the field of literature he was, at various times, a barrister, a publisher, a lieutenant colonel in the Intelligence Corps, the Director of Information-reporting directly to prime minister David Lloyd George-during the First World War. Quote from book; "The newspapers announced in large type that the ‘Kronprinzessin Emilie’, the crack flyer of the Bremen-American line, was to carry from the United States to Germany the vast sum of $6, 000, 000 in bullion. On her sailing day the dock, from which she was to start on what destined to prove the most eventful voyage ever made since men first went down to the sea in ships, was jammed with gaping crowds. They interfered with the passengers, and employees of the company had to jostle their way among them as best they could." (Excerpt from Wikipedia/Amazon)
