Everywhere he turned, even in

che inroads of hard, postwar commercialsm.
It seemed to him that most OF the articulate

virus which killed the old romanticiSm and

He determined to stage one-man rebellion
against all the mercsnary and adventure-warp-
ing forces.
Not that Andersen was soft to the touch of
struggle!
From boyhood he had taken his chances with
~dat old devil sea-" He had battled typhoonS.
Monsoons and Gains. He had set foot on many
strange lands. He had tossed in fishing boats
and shifted sail on trader. He had landed in
New York. Rio San Francisco, Seattle, the
Canaries, Africa - almost every land on the
globe. And at 25, Knud found himself with his
masters papers.
Then his eyes went back on him. He had to
20 ashore.
He took an inside job with a shipping firm,
and there he stayed for Is years. In odd mo-
rnents he began to write He wrote of the
primal, poetic struggle with the sea- struggle
which hardened, but mellowed; quite different
from the latter-day struggle which merely en-

And besides, he needed a personal escape
He had saved money and bought little home
outside Of Copenhagen. He had begun to make
reputation for himself as a writer in his
homeland. One of his books, Brand of the

another, "Surf," recently appeared in a Danish
edition. He wanted more time to contemplate.
