PIANO THE EVEN. SEAFARING FOLK HELP ADVENTURER New York’s Mariners Offer Comfort and Suggestions to Lone Sailor and Craft. By Consalidated Press. : NEW YORK, October 15.—It is a strange spectacle being shown down at Wood's ship yards, on City Island —all the seafaring folk, young and old, ships’. captains and cabin boys, forgetting their work to help young Alain Gerbault with his last prepa- rations for a round-the-world trip in a sail boat about five length. Tales of buccancers and pirates bold; of ocean rovers, caring not at all for land, seeking eternally ad- venture: yarns of treasure hunters and stories of spooks that infest land and sea—these may have been the lure that have led a Frenchman, only 32 yvears old, to dedicate his life to solitary water travel. ¢ He had read them all. In fact, row on row, they stand in the little cabin of his ‘boat—the Firecrest. Joseph Conrad. Jack London, Edgar Alfen Poe and all the other writers of such strange life and adventure tales a represented in the small library: Al Gerbault carries always with him. He has read them s child—and loved the d r again. Perhaps they fired' b ination and constitute a reason [the lone sea wanderings he templates. for con- Athes to Start. cares still less. He only knows he aches to pull up anchor and start out on a five-year tour of the world, alone, with no companion sailors to help him pull his ship through storms He hasno thought of the pirate gold his books tell him about. He has no idea of settling on a wild, unculti- vated island, where he m = NG _STAR, WASHINGTO times his | Alain Gerbault does not know, and | terial for writing of his own. He only wants to wander—and, in a day or two, he will unfurl his sail and start out for a cruise of the Pacifie and South Seas. Algin is only waiting for a “perfect day” with the right sort of breeze to give him a propitious start. And in the meanwhile the residents of City Island are helping him put.the finish- ing touches on-his ship. White-whisk- ered men pull longer at their pipes and proudly nod their heads as they inspect improvements on the Fire- crest. Sea roving is nqthing new for Alair. A vedr ago, he arrived off Fort Totten pier in his little 30-foot sailboat. 7Hello, there! I'm just in ' from France,” he said. “Got a pldce to put this sloop?” ° , Wild Trip Across. ” One hundred and forty-five days it had taken him to make New York from Nice. He'd been out from Gibraltar, knocked about by the waves of the Atlantic Ocean for 101 days “and nights. His, sails were in tatters; his bowsprit was broken off and his mast was cracked from the wild sea storms he had encountered. More than a third of a year be- fote, he had disappeared from his haunts along the Riviera—no one ‘knew just why or. where. He was { one of France's tennis stars and they | missed him at the matches which were then in progress. With the passage of time his safety was de- spaired of—until he was found oft Fort Totten. explained it. “I wanted ‘to come, so I came. Why should I have bothered | telling peopje?” But France demanded that he re- { turh and recelve his reward from the | sovernment. He went—but not for | the reward. He went to settle up | some business affairs with his brother, s0 he could continue hi: ea travels. And as soon as the government had given him a medal in recognition of his solitary trip across the ocean and a number of societies had done him honor, he returned to prepare for the |rest of his journeys. Will Go South Now. With no engine in his boat, at the mercy of the winds, he will go down the coast to Bermuda, through the Panama Canal and off_across the Pa- cific to the Marquesa Islands. They are 5,000 miles from Panama and he'll have no chance to take on provisions between' the two.
