Australia

IN his 37ft. ketch, the Bissy Girl, Cap tain Victor Brisson returned to Australia on May 20, after cruising to New Zealand via Norfolk Island, New Caledonia and New Hebrides. He will leave Sydney again shortly to navigate a yacht for the Consul-General for Spain (Mr.

Mariano Amoedo), who intends to sail almost immediately for Europe.

Captain Brisson, who is always accompanied on his voyages by a young Tahitian named Nicky, has travelled extensively throughout the South Seas. For several years he was master of the yacht Wanderlust. The captain is an expert linguist and an authority on Pacific Islands natives and their customs.
