PERSONALITY OF CAPTAIN ANDERSEN

This man was Captain Andersen, master of the Norwegian steamship Storstad. Two days later he landed the men he had saved.

Captain Andersen is a typical captain of a tramp steamer. Modest and unassuming, he tells quietly of what he is asked to, his simple story of bravery being entirely without varnishing by him.

The insurance of the Storstad, carried wholly by Norwegian underwriters, was as follows:

Storstad$325,000
Storstad (cargo)60,000
Grand total$385,000
