Manila, Jan. 6.
"Despite somewhat severe buffeting by rough seas, the 49-foot Shanghai yacht, Nidaros, with Helmut Aust at the helm, arrived in port today nine days after leaving Shanghai.
The German skipper of the Shanghai yacht was aided by jan inter-S? el ovnnnnono national crew consisting of G. Bruderer, a Swiss; K. Moeller, a Latvian; and V. S. Tnikoff, a Russian. Aust is well-known among local yachtsman, for he has sailed here on several occasions and this is his third trip in a yacht from Shanghai to Manila.
In 1097 he made port in the handsome motor-yacht Francesco, which formerly belonged to "Buster" Brown of Shanghai, Aust sold this yacht and it is at present being sailed in local waters. Last year he sailed the yacht Chelidon to Manila and this vessel was also sold to local yachtsmen.
Although Aust said he is not cer-lain at present when he will leave Manila and just where he will proceed, local yachting circles believe he will sell the yacht, which belongs to Captain E. M. Allison, chief pilot of the China National Aviation Corporation. Capt. Allison is at Chungking at present.
Commenting on the trip to Manila, Aust said he and his men experienced rough weather but despite the high seas they made excellent time. They enjoyed stiff breezes through-cut the trigsand this was one of the reasons why only nine days were taken from Shanghai to Manila.—United Press.
