CALIFORNIA. —A twenty-year-old dream came true for Dr E. Allen Petersen when he brought his frail Chinese junk, the HummelHummel, into Los,Angeles Harbour after crossing the Pacific from Yokohama. A honeymoon trip, ho and his Californian-born. Japanese bride managed the 36ft camphorwood craft taking 85 days for the voyage which the Asama Maru, in the background, completed in 10 days. The Hummel-Hummel draws only thirty inches of water, and the sides and bottom were, on arrival, encrusted with barnacles as large as a man’s head.
