SPARKLING WAKE of the Velero III under way is suggestive of vigorous action 

 which is the creed of Captain Hancock. He displays little interest in passive 

 occupations or avocations and has been a moving force in projects of science, 

 industry and the arts which call for alertness and strenuous activity. On voy- 

 ages of the Velero III many leading scientists of the country have been privi- 

 leged to visit some of the most remote areas of the eastern Pacific Ocean and 

 the Caribbean Sea, each doing his bit to increase the knowledge of mankind.
