NORFOLK, Va, March T.
Echoes of bygone times were re-
vived here today when the Nor.
wegian tank steamer Velloy sailed
away on a whaling voyage that
will take her to the rim of the
Antarctic Ocean and the wastes
of the south Atlantic.
Under command Of Capt. August
Andersen, a hardy Norseman, and
a chew made up Of picked Nor
wegian and Swedish seamen, the
Velloy expects to remain on the
whaling grounds until she has a
full cargo. The center Of her &C.
tivities will be at South Georgia
Island, a bleak and wind-swept
isle in the south Atlantic
Despite her modern equipment
and steam engines, an air OF ro-
nance and adventure surrounds
the Velloy and her crew Of big
blonde Mortimer. These men are
better fitted for the work ahead
Of them than American 0eanen,
Captain Anderson said, because
during the long periods between
killings, the latter become rest
less at the dull monotony in the
barrens Of the sea.
Extra men are carried in the
Velloy's crew because on whal-
ing voyage, the skipper said, men
are frequently killed or manned
in their encounters with whales.
The southern whale is not as
dangerous, however, the captain
stated, as his northern brother,
which Is larger and more power
full.
The Velloy has huge tanks in
her hold in which to store tho
whale oil after reducing the
blubber. Every pound of the
whales carcass is utilized on a
modern whaler, the whalebone
