For Remains of Nooh's Ark

Why anybody would build a house

The model maker said the only
member to be allowed to report on
the expedition will be Ben F. Allen
of Los Angeles, managing director
Of the periodical, "Deluge Geog-
raphy."
II the ark is still in Turkey, Mr..
Ayery's presence will assure a true
reproduction of 1t. He has been
carving little boats ever since he was
a boy in his native Sunderland on
England's northeast coast.
He worked 20 years for a New
York ship manufacturer after COM

man. Then he was associated with

ANNAPOLIS, July 2i.-Frederick
Avery, model ship maker for the
Naval Academy Museum, hopes to
carve the first accurate reproduction
of history's most famous vessel
Noah's Ark.
Mr.. Avery is going this summer on
an expedition which thinks 1t might
find remains Of the ark preserved In
the ice atop Mount Ararat In Tur-
key.
Details OF the expedition are Sc
cret. 1t was first announced in
Greensboro, NJ c.. where Bethel
Smith said her father, DR.. A. J.
Smith, was among those going on
the trip.
She said DIR. Smith, dean of the
Peoples Bible School near Green's
bJro, and Gail Fletcher, a mission
airy in India, had published in l945
a book entitled The An azing Dis
covery of Noah's Ark" She said the
book was based on periodicals and
airplane pilots reports OF remains
sighted on the l6,619-foot peak Of
Mount Ararat.
Departure Set in August.
Then Mr.. Avery disclosed he
would be member of the expedi-
tion as vice president in charge of
marine research" Maintaining the
whole thing lis supposed to be a
secret" the Navy model maker would
say only that his passport calls for
departure in August.
mt. Ararat is frozen 10 months
OF the year. August and September
are the only months of thaw.J
Mr.. Avery's job will be to check
any remains found with the descrip-
tion of the ark in the Bible. 1t Is
explicit to this extent:
The length of it (the Ark shall
be 300 cubits, the breadth OF it SO
cubits and the height of it 80 cubits
A window thou shalt make to the
Ark, and in cubit shalt thou fin
ish it above; and the door of the
Ark shalt thou set in the side there
of; with lower, second and third
stories shalt thou make it," Genesis
6:15-16)
Using the Hebrew measure of 1888
inches to the cubit, that would make
a three-deck ship 439h feet long,
1914 feet wide and 439 feet high.
Needs Idea of Shape.
Isn't that enough for Mr.. Avery
to carve his conception of the ship?
Mr.. Avery says no, because Il
have no idea of the shape. 1t might
have been just raft, box. I'd
impair my status as professional
model maker If I tried to make a
model of it beforehand"
The 59-year-old craftsman said
he would stick to a strict compari-
son of measurements for proof of
any find. He said it is known from
