ml? TH E-ZEPHYR US NINETEEN-TWENTY-SIX About this time the women of the crew began to grow more and more use¬ less. They spent all of their time “rigging up wardrobes. The prospect of soon being independent fortune hunters served to put an excess of spirit into the adventurers for the occasion of the send-off, and the launching of the ship, which followed immediately after the “shipping board ' s” examination of the vessel. Then came the final moment of departure on January 22, 1926. The ship s papers were presented and the crew boarded the vessel still laying in the yards but completely provisioned. The ceremony of christening the ship Janus No. 1 was finished simultaneously with the cutting of the lines which bound the ship in its place. The bark slid down the ways, struck the water with a splash and was taken charge of by tugs which conducted the perfect ship to sea. Sails were hoisted amidst the shouting of commands by Capt. Spongberg. Then with banners flying and in all its glory, the wonderful ship sailed out of sight in the approaching night. Entries in the log give us a fairly complete and “accurate’ record of the voyagers’ fortunes. Einard Maenpaa left the ship at Hong Kong and planned to become a cartoonist for a Chinese socialistic journal. Eino Isaacson and Hattie Nyman had ambitions which caused them to form a partnership and establish a dancing academy at Vladivostok. Olga Stenvaag quelled the revolutionary spirit in Mexico forever. Winifred Wing was responsible for the acceptance of modern physical culture by the Figii Islanders. Love for dramatics was not lost; Hilma Tark. Bertel Matson, Irja Jarvin and John Clay formed a company to tour Thibet and present Hamlet. Arthur Green established a “lute-fisk foundary at Stavanger, Norway. Harold Whng returned to his old home at Skamokawa and saved the forests for the humming birds. When Virginia Jones hung out her shingle it read “Prof. Jones, Instructor in the Arts of Self Defense.” Tom found a means for France to pay her war debt without money. Sven Eliassen and Charles Barr got rich charging salmon five cents each for admission to the Columbia River. Lauri Pernu realized his ambition when he became editor of the Toveri. Gudrun Olsen was elected president of the Maidive Islands and Eugene Spongberg became her private secretary. Esther Wicks became famous for her Buttermilk Cure for indiqestion. Arvi Lopakka found a pirate treasure and became a “private” on Wall Street. Static was outlawed in a measure passed by Congress throuqh the influence of Lula Elliott. Fannie Hauru and Frances Josephson scaled Mr. Everest and reported the climate to be “almost tropical. Hilda Uotila was the only one who married and she caught a multi- million- aire and spends his money helping grasshoppers gain a college education. Aino Pellervo opened a soft drink parlor on the highway between Mars and the Earth. Harold Snow spent his time making hydrogen sulphide for use in the manufacture of “Egyption Perfume.” Page Ten
