FIRST VISIT
All Lauritzen Line vessels fly the United Nations flag in addition to their own ensign and house flag. The red-hulled “Reefer” ships are well-known traders in these ■waters. Another member of this fleet, the 10-year-old, 3728-ton, Brazilian Reefer, arrived at Lyttelton from Wellington last week with 9000 cases of Cyprus oranges. A motor vessel, the Brazilian Reefer is similar in appearance to the newer, Chilean Reefer which visited Lyttelton last year. A wellappointed and modernly equipped express-freighter, the Brazilian Reefer is fully refrigerated and fitted with shelter and ’tween decks Before she came on the New Zealand run, the Brazilian Reefer operated mainly on the South American-Western Europe service. She carries an all-Danish crew of 42, and is commanded by Captain Einaar Nygaard of Svendborg. Mrs Nygaard travels frequently with her husband and is aboard the Brazilian Reefer at present. Two other women are also travelling with their husbands aboard the vessel at present. They are Mesdames Lauritsen
and Petersen, wives of the first and second engineers. Like many shipmasters. Captain Nygaard has a hobby. He has taught his wife to do intricate and skilled embroidery.
