Moses, the "Dresden Devil"

Portrait of Moses, one of the youngest boys aboard the 'Parma'. "Moses, the loud-voiced, the cheeky little boy, the attractive, brown-haired, soft-eyed, devilish, prank-playing, work avoiding youngster: Moses, the Dresden Devil (as the mate called him)... Moses at the age of fourteen, or whatever he was (we did not know exactly), had been an apprentice in a Hamburg delicatessen (where he was fired in the process of unduly enlarging his small stomach with the proprietor's foods), a rumrunner in a Hungarian trawler in the Gulf of Bothnia, and an inmate of Stockholm gaol. There he caused so much disturbance that they threw him out, whereupon he became apprenticed to the 'Parma' with the proceeds of his nefarious exploits" Alan Villiers, Last of the Windships, 1933 voyage.
