Observatory Director Ends Long Tour Following an extended tour which took him to Great Britain, the Netherlands, France, Italy and the United States, Father E. Gherzi, S.J., Director of Siccawei Observatory, arrived in Shanghai yesterday aboard Lloyd Triestino liner Conte Verde.
Leaving Shanghai on June 14, Father Gherzi attended scientific congresses at Utrecht in the Netherlands, at Cambridge University, Paris, Genoa and Venice in Italy, and Washington. Returning from America, Father Gherzi visited Italy again, where he embarked on the Conte Verde.
Prior to his arrival in New York the Italian liner Conte di Savoia on which he was a passenger was caught in the hurricane which struck the east coast of that country and caused much; loss of life and damage to property. The commander of the liner asked Father Gherzi with his great experience of the elements several questions pertaining to the storm with the result that the Conte Savoia suffered less than many other vessels approaching the coast.
