Le Voyage du Bel Aire On May 22, 1951, the good submarine Bel Aire No. I set out on a journey to the Antarctic regions. It was the first journey of this kind attempted since the Arctic expedition of the Nautilus in 1931. The Commandant of the craft was called Capp'l Cisj. Capp was considered the outstanding adventurous explorer of the country at that time, having sailed the -seven seas in air craft and sea craft. In planning this expedition, he arranged to take only sixty-five passengers. Thousands and thousands of letters were received by his private secretary, Elsie Stevens, from applicants desirous of taking the trip. Capp rejected all but those from the most famous of applicants. VVhen the submarine set out on that bright spring day it carried a crew of notorious, famous, ingenious and remarkable people selected by the brave Capp. Friends and relatives sniffed and waved handkerchiefs from the dock, and the Bel Aire No. I was off. Days passed, weeks, months and several years passed but nothing was heard from the Bel Aire. One stormy day in March. three years later, the good ship O Fice commanded by Lieutenant Floyd Everett Flack spied the periscope of a submarine on high seas. At the same moment a radio mes- sage was received from the submarine Bel Aire No. I, asking if the pas- sengers might come on board the ship. Lieutenant Flack, recognizing it as the craft that had set out three years ago, and realizing how anxious the people would be to see persons of a civilized race, consented. The chief steward, a little middle-aged black Irishman by the name of O'Kelly was summoned and as he appeared everyone on board laughed at his queerness. It seems that Lieutenant Flack and O'Kelly started a close friendship back in 1931 in Blair High School. O'Kelly was asked to announce each of the remarkable personages as they came on board from the Bel Aire No. I. The passengers stepped forth one by one and O'Kelly announced: Coach M. W. Stricklette of Notre Dame. O'Kelly SIHYCS a moment, slaps him on the back and yells, Sticky . He was captain of the Blair High School 1950 football team and is considered the modern Knute Rockne. Sticky informs the Lieutenant and steward that they will recognize many more of the pas- sengers. Coach I. P. Gillispie and Assistant Coach Abraham L. Warrick of the University of Nebraska. Abe and Iohn are heartily greeted. Ruth E. Tilden, M. D., and Florence Wolff. Ruthie is famed for her service to the world in medicine. Florence is her head assistant and has given her life to the advancement of the science of nursels training. O'Kelly beams as he announces his old pal, Karl Adolf Peterson, President of the United States. T C 0
