Pasma’s Work, Praising | Qualities Revealed. Sailor, farmhand, painter and min- | ister, Rev. Henry K. Pasma, pastor of the ~Presbyterian Church South of Rockville, Md., has been disclosed as the author of “Close Hauled,” a thrill- | ing story of his own experiences as a | tic and as a struggling immigrant | m the New World. As a youth in Frisia Mr. Pasma one day watched, fascinated, a ves- sel crowd on sail and head out of the harbor for the open sea. Watching the ship race away toward a misty horizon, close-hauled and hugging the wind, the youth felt an urge to follow the sea ' and later, having overcome the objec- tions of his parents, he shipped on the Baltic Packet as cabin boy. Put Thrill Into Story. During several years on the Baltic Packet and other sailing vessels, and later on steam ships, he traveled the Baltic Sea and the oceans, visiting many lands and mixing with many peoples. His story is crowded with l.Ilna experiences in storms and de- lightful incidents in life at sea. | The late Edward Bok wrote an in- troduction to Mr. Pasma’s book and to read the story is to understand how Mr. Bok found himself, in the midst of a busy life, as he writes in his intro- duction, re.dinl and finishing it at a single sitt; Mr. P-.lma came to America with his crenu and brothers and sisters when was in his ’teens.

He shipped on sail- ing vessels to Jutland, to Kiel and to | the Mediterranean. He traveled from | the White Sea and the Arctic to the Enllatlgnd{es, welthedrlng terrific storms aring many dangers wif men in the fo'c’sle. % ke Attracted to Pulpit. Away from the sea now, Mr. writes that the old craving for the nd. vmturous lite is almost stilled, but he breathes life into the incidents of his youth, in America as well as at sea, | In the fo'c’sle he experienced soul | promptings that in later years turned | his thoughts to the ministry. The customs of the Dutch that hts family practiced assiduously, marked by sim- plicity and a rugged devoutness, were not worn from him by buffetings on any sea, and he recalls that he re- mained aloof to the roughness asso- | ciated with life before the mast. On first entering the ministry, Mr. Pasma was affiliated with the Dutch Reformed Church and lived in the creeds of his native Netherlands for eight years as pastor.
