Honolulu, June 15.
r'OSE good residents of the Marquesas Islands and Tahiti, who came to know the 30-foot American ketch “Njord”, will be interested to learn that she arrived here this week, her crew well, after 25 days’ sailing from the Marquesas.
The ketch is manned by three men, owners John Edlund and Clyde John son, of Coos Bay, Oregon, and Clarence Neads, of Pittsburgh.
The Njord left San Diego January 5 and later spent three months cruising through the Marquesas group. The party now intends to sail back to Coos Bay.
The “Njord” proves what you can do in your spare time. Mr. Edlund, a gro cer, and Mr. Johnson, who works at a lumber mill, took three years to build it. They wanted to see the South Seas.
The next dream; build a bigger boat, see more of the world. They feel foot loose.
