Madsen Reveals More
Of Forthcoming Book
A verbal picture of a four
masted bark under sail in the
stormy Atlantic was vividly
described for Kodiak Rotary
Club Tuesday by Charles j
Madsen.
Madsen served for many of
his younger years in various
“tynes” of sailing vessels be
fore becoming a resident of
Alaska.
Madsen left his nativ'e
country of Denmark when he
was 14 years old as an ap- j
prentice seaman. He sailed in1
the Baltic for two years and
then shipped aboard a Danish
ship for his crossing of the
Atlantic. His first visit to
North America was to St.
Johns, Newfoundland.

ventures was presented to the
club on a voice recorder. He is
writing a book on his adven
tures as a seaman, fur trader,
walrus hunter and big game
guide. It is scheduled to be
published next year by the
Dodd Mead Publishing Com
oany.
Following his arriving in
Newfoundland he returned to
Europe and later sailed aboard
a four masted bark for the
Hawaiian Islands by way of
Cape Horn.
The hardships suffered by
apprentice seaman before the
turn of the century were in
credible to Madsen’s listeners.
He told of finding weevils
in the pilot bread, living on
one cup of fresh water per day
and of furnishing his own bed
ding and eating utensils on his
voyages.
On arriving in Honolulu
Madsen and a shipmate de
cided they had had enough of
sailing and jumped ship. His
description of Honolulu as it
was 60 years ago was enjoyed
by his listeners.
He later sailed aboard an
American vessel for San Fran
cisco. He was greatly impres
sed with the American “Bag
dad-by-the Bay.” For three
years he sailed in coastal ves
sels and following the dis
covery of gold on the beaches
at Nome he set sail for the
| north.
Madsen ended the record of
his adventures at this point
for his Tuesday audience. The
club has earlier heard record
ings of his experiences as a
walrus hunter, his impressions
of the Deer-Men of Siberia and
of a shipwreck he suffered in
the Bering Sea. All of the re
cordings will be incorporated
in his book.
