Jt was beautiful sight entirely. 1) climbed aboard up rope at the top of which a large brindle bull terrier barked at me: only man in sight never spoke to me, but when I asked for the Captain, he went and brought that officer. The man was forelgner who spoke no English. The Captain himself was a foreigner, but spoke English perfectly. Baslors don't care. that popular atch phrase, struck me when 1 began to talk to Captain Svenson, He was courteous and obliging, but: surprised and amused to find so much interest taken in his ship's adventures, Nothing of Interest? To voyage 138 days without touch- ing port; to have two-thirds of the crow at death's door with disease; to struggle through continuous storms for 57 days from leaving New Zealand un- til around Cape Horn: to have man killed while aloft; to save another man overboard ins storm. on a winter, night; to be becalmed tn the tropics: for a fortnight; to, run short of food; and to have to send signals of distress to passing steamers: all these inci- dents and many. more were but part of the day's work to this descendant of the Viking: He sees in them. nothing to write home about, still teas to. publish. in newspapers. The whole stirring story of the voyage would have been lost to the world jf one of the crew had not been young author and journalist whose eve for ti dramatic Thad not been dulled by too much familia with Jife at, sea. However I will give the captain's riarrative as prosaically he gave it to me. He said: We have been on this voyage two. years. We have not been home since we Jeft Swansea in August, 1927, with m coal cargo for the dia mond mines in South-West Africa Then we went. to Guanapl, Peru. Tt was then we had a terrible. sickness Fifteen out of our twenty men had aysentry, and we had to get Peruvians to unload ont cargo. One man was rent to hospital and died there. The others that we nursed ourselves om board all recovered. Sailors don't think much of doctors from Peru, We passed throush the Panama Canal to North Carolina and then we. got orders to Ro to: Australia in ballast. When we were in the South Atlantic below Cape Good Hoe snd Tristan Da Cun- has we saw secbergs, which are un- usual there. Fortunately st was day- light and we eould avoid them. When it ts dark you go blindly. Tt was here that the biggest sailing ship afloat had heen owt. the year before with 79 hands, not leaving a trace. T think the must have struck fee. Our next call was Wallaroo, in South Australia, there we loaded wheat, We Irft on April 17 and did not touch another port until we came here, Bad: Weather? Maybe The captain seemed to think he had compinted the tory. and T had:to ex- details by. questions. take no long? adm foul bottom. . We have had no ry dock and we should he in dry dock every twelve months The bottom was full-of weeds and parpactes...which reduced our kpeed by one-third. We can do ten. knots: when the-Boitom ts clear, but only 6 knots now. T prompted the captain by saying I had heard they had had bed wea- tiers Pei We had plenty of bad weather, but We are used to that on the roitte, he replicd. It, was not bad for any Jenath of unfavorable weather below Cape Horn and Marneilles. We spent 8 days shen we should have taken only from 30:t0 36. gathered that the captain used the hrase whtavorable weather becauise it was just an ordinary Cape Horn storm, tho. that is had enough; When a ship passes Cape Horn for the first time there: Inn celebration, but the Grace Harwar has been round Many tmes. She 4 older than. we. I knew the whip-wes 40 years old, and T glanced at the captain, thinking nrivately that he did not look much younger, T learned afterwards he was: only 23, and he has gone much grey- er since he started on that last voyage We had a week of very bad weather and two weeks of miserable weather. heed winds and f Horn and New Zealand, eareful precision, The whole way from ustralie to Cane Horn was bad of the day. Evans met me nad took me into a tiny cabin and without verbel introduction motioned me to. the Joosely built young fellow in shirt, and trousers, both garments spattered With paint and otherwise needing the attention of the laundries, Ho was Wearing kind of tam ohanter, and was 80 Jong speaking tha Thought, he was like the other mem- bers of the crew, unable to speak Eng. Yish, but T immediately noticed a note book on the table and typewriter on the floor. Two other seamen came along, and I said I have heard the captain's story, and now 1 want yours. For one thing the captain does not think you ever hed to go hungry or that you were ex- hhausted. He wouldn't said Rvans ith grim emphasis, The other. seamen shrugged his shoulders, and pointed to a weekly menu card fastened on the wall of the cabin, The menus suggest d abundance and variety, but on top somebody had written in large letters, We want food. The literary seaman then broke his silence: That is the food we were au; to have . Then I was introducad to Alan J. Villiers, and I recalled him as the author of book Falmouth for Orders book about a sailing ship, which was greatly praised by Mterary critics. What are you doing here? I de- manded, Are you 0 much in love with the sailor's life or are you only tn it for copy? Was Newspaper Reporter 1 went to see af fourteeh and was there until I was twenty. Then I got newspaper job in Hobart which I Kept for four years. 1 then saw tha all the good stories there are in sail- Ing ships were being missed, so I sign- ed on with this ship but have had enough of 1t now. I was full of incl- dents, At Swansen before the ship sailed s man fell down the hold and was killed, At Goodwick Bay the eap- tain, in perfectly weather, slip- ped and broke his leg. At Wilmington, North Carolina three Swedes on the ship ran away. We took on Amer gans and they cleared off at Wall- ar00. es would be filled if T recounted, all the incidents told me by vitiets, who is man who.can see the human significance in everything. I must confine myself to the high. spots. Fitst there ts the man who was killed, I feel that, said Villters, for T brought him on the ship, He was a journelist, nd 1 persuaded him to come and take Photographs: of rounding Cape Horn. It is something. that has never been done. He was,Greory Walker, of the Hobart Mercury, 22 years of age, and an only son, God knows, what his people, will nay to me, I don't, want to go to them for a long time. When Death Stalked In a few powerful words Villiors told the story of his death. Walker was qualified seaman. It was in the mid- die of the night and Walker was aloft loosening A boy was aloft with him when he was jammed, The boy ered for, help, We went, sald Villiers, We did not know he was dead, Our own hands were top cold to feel properly. . We felt his head and it seemed all right. He made no sqund ind wa thought he: wax only uncon eclous. Tt was a difficult job with the ship rolling us it wax to get him down We took every care, but then we found him dead. 1 tell you thgt when a man 4s killed On board, thescrew does. not fet, over it enslly. We have to work in the same place and we are always thinking of death. Working afott- on the-mast. is bad enough ina rough sea without having an attack of nerves. Death does get on your nerves. There was that other Englishman, He told me that he had dreamed of all hands being called on deck. and saw Walker first to answer the call. That fn.the state of mind that follows death, You are always looking at the place where the man was killed, and you see the blood, though we cut out, the blood-marked' canvas. Villiers also told me the story of the Fesclie of the man overboard. It was dune at Cape Horn, but June Is the Winter month there. Waves were sweeping the decks. Fortunately tha man was seh to go overboard and a cpuoy was thrown, By marvellous luck. the man caught tt but the crew dial not know this, We did not shout. There wa: hardly an earthly chance for him, but we had to do our best, so we lowered beat. The waves: wore 6a high that We could not seo efther lifebuoy or man, We made for some albatross that we thought might be circling Tound an object in the sea, but the albatross then circled round us. When We hind given up hope anid were about to turn back, we saw the lifebuoy and the man holding on to it. He. was conscious but we got him back to the ship and brought, him round. Short Rations Necessary Ali sorts of other food. had gone short when the salt meat rotted, Many steamers failed to answer Morte calls for help Villers mentioned the hationallties of the ships guilty of sn humanity, but I will not quote them It was 9 British steamer, Orange Leaf, that. helped the Grace Piao, 2 Am satitiod Villers was xaggerating when he said the crow was. serious from After that we had fine weather most tal of the time till we: got red: He was up aloft and got jammed between two. yards ext day wes Sunday and he was buried trom. tie poop: catty gittere were walling for the I forbade tm further 9p his patience, T pointed to the bull terrier as T was loaving and asked if he had done the voyage.
