"Twas the night before Christmas in McMurdo Sound,
But we didn’t think Santa’d be coming around,
’Cause he’s awful busy this time of year
And that’s a mighty long trip for eight tiny reindeer.
He lives at the north pole, so I’ve heard people say,
And we live at the south pole—that’s a mighty long way.
Here the sun shines all day and all night
But we kept on hoping ... he may ... he might.
Then out on the ice there arose such a roar,
I tripped on the trash can and sprawled on the floor.
Busted my elbow, twisted my knee—
But I kept right on going; I just had to see.
And there on the strip was a monstrous jet—
Old Santa had made it with his reindeer, yet.
Producing a handkerchief from out of his clothes,
He blew long and loud on his little red nose.
He was three-quarters chubby with a little round gut
And long hairy whiskers—an odd looking “nut.”
He’d had a long journey; we knew he was beat.
He said, “Man, I’m sure hungry; what y’awl got to eat?”
We got skua gull livers and penguin pies,
Fried seal blubber and chocolate-coated fish eyes,
Corn bread, collards and navy beans,
Fried 'taters and ’lasses and turnip greens.
“That sounds delicious,” Old Santa Claus said.
“With that kind of groceries, I’m royally fed.
It’s like coming from a desert to a field of clover—
To heck with them young kids, I’ll just winter over.”

Patrick Ellam, a daring Eng

and Fork club members at their
meeting schedued at 7:30 p.m.
Wednesday, Feb. 5, at East Side
cafe in Ontario.
Ellam has spent more time on
the sea than many an old and ex
perienced British “salt,” and un
dertook to sail the rough Atlantic
in a sailboat only 19 feet long
against advice of England’s best
authorities, according to Associat
ed Clubs, Inc., of Topeka, Kan.
Earns Boat When 6 Years Old
He is a son of one of England’s
leading industrialists and started
his sea career at the age of two
lying in a coil of rope aboard his
father’s yacht. Promised a sail
boat of his own as soon as he
could swim the Thames fully
clothed, Ellam did this when only
six years old.
At 16 he was presented his first
yacht and, except for the four
years he served with the Royal
Artillery during World War II
and a short trip he took to the
Arctic for diversion, he has been
a devotee of the sea and small
sailing craft
Ellam’s trip across the Atlan

took just one year. Slipping out
of Falmouth Harbor at early
dawn, the young sailors went
