"Nordkaperen" In Cairns

Mr. William Schell, Ex Usa

Army Captain, recently stepped off the Danish yacht, “Nordkaperen”, at Cairns (Qld.). He joined the yacht as a crew member in the Virgin Islands, travelling by way of Panama, Galapagos, Tuamotu and Tahiti to Samoa.

He left the yacht at Pago Pago, but rejoined her again in Suva and continued on to Australia.

Mr. Schell intends leaving the “Nord keperen” in Cairns and will return to Suva where he hopes to buy a small boat of his own to take back to the States.

“Nordkaperen” is 13 months out from Copenhagen. The owner-skipper, Captain Carl Nielsen and his crew, Paul and Knud Larson, speak highly of the hos pitality of Fiji residents and the Suva Yacht Club. They would like to thank

them, through the “PIM” for a pleasant 21 months’ visit.

Dr. Neville Anderson of Sydney, has volunteered as a medical missionary with the LMS.
