NOVEL NEWSPAPER
PUBLISHED AT SEA DURBAN, November 1. The Dutch freighter Nijkerk, when it reached Durban recently, revealed the fact that in addition to possessing its own Association football club, which is run by members of the crew and plays matches in nearly all ports of call, it runs a bi-weekly newspaper containing sporting news, articles, jokes, cartoons, caricatures and other features. It was first issued last May, and the last edition was an eight-page issue which contained several contributions in English by passengers in addition to the Dutch articles. The vessel’s commander, Captain G. H. Klomp, writes under the nom de plume of “Dr. Puzzler,” and another regular co .tributor is the wireless operator. The circulation is not constant, but is generally about 20 copies duplicated from the typescript and drawings.
