...beckoning September day four years ago, sandy-haired, 21-year-old Dwight Long, restless son of a Seattle builder, chucked his junior studies at the University of Washington and pointed his snug, white, 32-foot ketch Idle Hour out of Puget Sound. Before him lay the glamorous uncertainty of the western horizon; behind, Foulweather Bluff and the fouler prospects of graduating into a depression. One afternoon last week, with 35,000 miles in her wake and her bows scoured with the spray of more than seven seas. Idle Hour breezed in from the blue Atlantic and hove to off Manhattan...

She was the 18,673-ton Oslofjord, new $3,000,000 flagship of the Norwegian America Line, on her maiden voyage to the land Norse Leif Ericson previewed some 938 years earlier. Leif the Lucky's 75-foot ship was a Viking man-o'-war with a single candy-striped sail and places for 35 men. The 588-foot Oslofjord is a businesslike luxury liner...
