FlOuts Sea Law to
Cross Atlantic With
Captain Husband
Mrs. Solveg Bull, Wife of
Skipper of BergensfjOrd,
Arrives, Triumphant, to
Pass Christmas With Him

Violating one Of the unwritten laws
Of the sea, Mrs. solveR Bull. eOmsly
young Norwegian concert pianist, wife
Of Captain Ole Bull, commander OF the
Norwegian.A liner Bergens-
ford, arrived yesterday on the vessel
with her husband Almost every
Christmas, Mrs. Bull explained, the At
lantie separated her from her husband,
so this year she decided 70 overcome
all obstacles and be with him during
the Yuletide season.
When the liner docked in South
Brooklyn Mrs. Bull related her expert
enees in overcoming the age-old tradi-
tion that the captains wife shall not
travel on a vessel which he commands.
While studying In Europe she learned
that the Bergcnsfjord was 20 be IN
New York on Christmas Day and would
be tied up here for six weeks. When
she applied for passage the company
refused 10 grant II, so Mrs. Bull, with
out revealing her identity, purchased
a ticket from an agent.
Passengers said yesterday that Cap
tain Bull assumed a very formal at
titude toward his wife and that she
was never seen on the bridge. Oeea-
sionally they dined together. This was
Mrs. Bulls fourth trip across the At
lantic, she said, but the only one she
has made with her husband. They for
meriy resided at 214 New York Avenue,
Brooklyn.
DR.. Harold Salvesen, Norwegian spe-
eialist In kidney diseases, was among
the passengers. He will spend a year
at the Rockefeller Institute In this
city In research work.
The Bergensfjord had 4 rough trip
to this port, bearing 272 passengers,
and was obliged 70 heaye 70 for six
hours Friday during a snowstorm.

Eats 9 Boiled LObsters

Harry wohl, champion beefsteak
eater Of the East Side. won fresh
gustatory honors yesterday. One Of
his admirers passed the word OF his
feat to The Tribune.
He ate, Il seems. nine boiled Holsters
at a sitting to win a s25 wager. The
terms Of the bet called for his dispos.
ing Of only eight, but when he had
put the eighth down he was still a
bit hungry, so he cleaned the platter.
After which, his Boswell reports, he
pushed back his chair, pocketed hit
trimmings and went home TO supper. He
won the beefsteak championship
against a large field recently by de-
youring ten pounds Of meat, cooked.
Harry is twenty-four years old, lives
at SO Bayard Street and Is enrolled In
the Student Army Training Corps Of
the College Of the City Of New York.
