Volunteers, Expert Seamen to Make Up
Crew of Mayflower II in Atlantic Trip
By DANIEL F. GILMORk.
United Press Correspondent
London :u.R; "The "May
flower' will set sail for America
on April 15."
This is not a yellowed news
paper clipping from 16UU. It u
a 1957 announcement by the
flamboyant skipper of the May
flower II, a stout 130-ton oak
replica of the cralt which
brought the Pilgrim Fathers to
Plymouth Rock three centuries
ago.
But because it is 1957 and the
aim is not to colonize but to
show Anglo American friend
ship, some changes have been
made.
A peril unknown to the pil
grims, i shipyard strike, could
yet delay the sailing date.
Skipper Alan Viiliers, 52-year-old
Australian adventurer, au
thor and master mariner has
put his foot down, no women
aboard.
A 17-year-old Massachusetts
youth who wants to join the U.S.
Navy's jet air arm will serve as
cabin boy.

tiie tiny sailing vessel but Brit
ish authorities ordered a radio
installed.
The crew will make no at
tempt to duplicate the primitive
living conditions of the 17th
century.
At a champagne party where
the crewmen received up to S28,
000 apiece in Insurance, Captain
Viiliers said. "There will be as
little of that 17th century stuff
as possible. We're going to live
as good as we can."
Thousands of persons applied
for the passage which, "with
God's will and a fair wind,"
should take five weeks from
Plymouth, Eng., to Plymouth,
Mass., compared to 93 days for
the original journey, which
began Sept. 6, 1620.
No Women
The final crew is composed of
volunteers, expert seamen or
descendants of those who "come
over on the Mayflower." Women
asked but Viiliers rebuffed
them.
Among them were Caroline
Standish Parmenticr, of Rut
land,, Vt., a trained nurse who
said she was an eighth direct
descendant of Captain Miles
Standish, and Miss M. Billah
Bradford, of New Milton, Eng., a
descendant of William Bradford,
second governor of New Eng
land. "We will sail on April 15
with a crew of 29, all men,
thank God," said Viiliers. "No
women. They are nuisances at
the best of times and more so
especially aboard ship."
No Cook
The crew still lacks a cook.
One dropped out when his wife
discovered the ship had no en
gine and, said Viiliers, "I'm not
fitting one engine just to get
that cook."
American Cabin Boy Joseph
M. Meany Jr., son of a Waltham,
Mass., optician, earned his posi
tion as national winner of the
boys clubs of America 11th an
nual Junior Citizenship award.
Former President Herbert Hoov
er announced Meany's victory
for his contributions to home,
school, church, community and
the boys clubs. A six-foot brown
haired high school senior honor
student, Meany holds an alter
nate appointment to Annapolis.
The Mayflower II, which will
cost $280,000 was built in Brix
ham. Eng., with funds raised
among Britons friendly to Amer
ica. The keel was laid July 28,
1955, by a British Royal Navy
commander who had five ances
tors aboard the original May
flower. It was launched in a
violent thunderstorm Sept. 22,
1956, by Reis Leming, of Top
penish. Wash., who as a former
U.S. airman was a hero during
floods in Britain.
No Plan.
"At first it was a nightmare,"
said builder Stuart Upham. "No
plans, no details of rigging, noth
ing. Then we found a model,
completely rigged, at Bucklands
Abbey, home of Sir Francis
Drake."
With this model and the help
Woodpecker Not
Benton Damage
Chicago (U.R) House own
ers needn't rush out and get in
surance if a woodpecker starts
drilling a hole in a wall, a zoolo
gist says.
The fine feathered friend isn't
going to wreck the house. He
simply wants a nice, fat worm
for dinner or a cozy place
to take a snooze.
Austin L. Rand, chief curator
of zoology at the Chicago Natur
al History Museum, wrote in
the museum's bulletin that esti
mating insurance risks were out
of his line but woodpecker hab
its were not. So when an insur
ance edjuster wanted informa
tion recently on the feathered
jackhammers. Rand obliged.
Properly speaking. Rand said,
woodpeckers don't eat wood.
They chisel into wood in
search of wood-boring insects.
And they excavate nest sites
and sleeping places in wood
usually in a tree.
The insurance adjuster want
ed to know whether the offend
ing woodpecker and all it young
would come back and keep drill
ing holes until the house col
lapsed.
That's contrary to woodpeck
er custom. Rand told the wor
ried adjuster. The birda usually
scatter out when they become
full-grown and independent, and
the claim they stake out next
spring may be far from the first
nest.
The zoologist also assured his
caller that it was improbable
any house in the Chicago area
would be sufficiently infested
with insects to attract a wood
pecker year after year. Chisel
ing into houses usually would
be for a nest or sleeping place.
he said.
of William A. Baker, of Hina
ham, Mass., a naval architect,
the ship was fitted together us
ing the ancient tools, "nippers,"
used for hauling hot steamed
planks from the kiln, clamps
and forelock clamps, chock
bevels, ausers, gimbletts and
adzes, caulking irons and mawls.
The ship, which will come
from New England to tie up at
pier 81 in New York for six
months starting June 1. will sail
with a chest of gold bracelets,
necklaces, silver cutlery, and
cashmere sweaters.
