DERELICT ADRIFT
IS IDENTIFIED
AS THAT OF THE OLD VOLANTE
WELL KNOWN IN THE
ALASKA WATERS
(From P.-I.)
The derlict sighted adrift 230
miles off triangle island on January
28, by Capt. K. Chiba, master of the
Japanese steamer Kumi Maru, now
in Seattle from ports in the Far
East, is the storm-battered wreck
of the two masted schooner Vol
ante, famous in years gone by as
an Arctic trader.
It was first believed that the ves
sel was the codfishing schooner
Maid of Orleans, of Seattle, but
Robert C. Hill, manager of the Mer
chants’ Exchange, and shipping men
along the water front yesterday af
ternoon from casuality reports at
hand, proved beyond a doubt that
the derelict is the Volante.
The Volante, laden with a cargo
of salt and empty barrels, left Pet
ersburg for Sitka in tow of the gas
tug Penguin and Gjoa on January
6. A great northerly gale was
blowing and the Volante broke a
drift at the entrance to Chatham
Strait.
After considerable difficult the
lugs succeeded in taking off the
schooner's master, Capt. John A.
Einmo, formerly a Seattle fish deal
er, and her crew of five men. Car
ried faster and faster before the
gale the Volante drifted southward
past Cape Ommaney and then out
to sea. Capt. Einmo and his men
were taken to Petersburg, where
the loss of the Volante was reported.
The Volante was owned by M. B.
Dahl, who purchased her about two
years ago from Capt. Backland, who
operated her for several years be
tween Seattle and Point Barrow,
Icy cape and the trading stations
of the Arctic. She was under
charter of the Pacific Mild Cure
Company, of which F. Erichson, of
Seattle is secretary.
J. E. Shields, secretary of the
Pacific Coast Codfish Company, fear
ing that the derelicet might be the
codfishing schooner Maid of Orleans
owned by his company, obtained a
complete description of the desert
ed vessel from Capt. Chiba, of the
Kumi Maru, and was convinced that
she was the Volante, which he knew
very well.
The derelict had a long main
j boom and gaff and no house foi
j ward She was painted black. The
Maid of Orleans has a green lull
and is rigged entirely different fnm
the ill-fated Volante.

WE SHOULD BITE THE BUBBLE
When laws ware passed in Now
York and other Sates prohibiting
the use of thf> common drinking
cup there was great satisfaction
among the people who have the
good sense to appreciate the impor
tance of guarding aganst the
spread of infectious diseases
But although the abolition of the
common drinking cup was a long
step in the right direction, # there
still remains a serious menace to
health to the improper construction
and the improper use of the bubble
drinking fountain. Inspectors of
the United States Public health
League, who have been investigat
ing the matter finds much to criti
cize in the way the public uses these
fountains. An Inspector sat beside
one in a railway station for an hour
the other day, and here is what
he saw:
Forty-seven different persons, of
whom eleven were men, Twenty-two
were women and fourteen were
children, used the bubbling foun
tain. In almost very case the lips
were placed almost completely
around the metal ball from which
the water spurted, and one small
boj seemed as if he were trying
to swallow it. Several of the men
obviously were cheweig tobacco. Of
the forty-seven pec a t four were
colored, three looked as though they
might have tuberculosis an 1 three
had an eruption upon the face.
Quite plainly when used in this
way, a bubble fountain is little less
dangerous than a common drinking
cup would be.
Every person using a bub
bling drinking fountain should bear
This house, after it has been remodeled,
will be forsale by S, Smith
in mind that the object of this san
itary device is to prevent the inter
change of mouth secretions. When
mucous and other matter becomes
attached, to metal it sometimes re
quires considerable force to remove
it, and this is not always accomp
lished by a slowly moving current
of water.
“Bite the bubble” is the only safe
rule to follow. The lips should
never be allowed to touch any part
of the fountain, and under no con
ditions should the fountain be used
for expectorating or for rinsing the
mouth.

ALASKA FLEET BUSY
For the first time in years the
steamship Victoria is in the Alaska
winter service of the' Alaska Steam
ship Co., instead of being tied up
at the East Waterway. With the
exception of two of the smaller ves
sels of the company, the entire fleet
is now engaged, the Seward being
chartered for tw0 trips to Vladi
vostok. Vice-President Baxter and
Superintendent R. R. Pierson left
for the east during the month to
accept the Valdez and Juneau,
which have been undergoing exten
sive repairs and are being loaded
with cargo for the West Coast.
Repairs to the hull of the Mari
iosa -have about been completed at
the plant of the Seattle Construc
tion & .Dry Dock Co. and that steam
ship will leave soon for Esquimalt,
where alterations and work on her
interior and house will be completed
at the Yard of Yarrows, Ltd.
Under direction of the company’s
force at Pier 2, the S. S. Alaska
is being greatly altered. The pilot
house, chart room and officer’s
quarters have been lifted to a posi
tion similar to the arrangement on
the other vessels of the fleet, thus
gaining a dozen aditional rooms for
passengers on the forward promen
ade deck. A spacious observation
room has been built aft and the en
tire interior is being repainted, re
fitted and refurnished. This ves
sel will be ready to go into regu
lar service February 29.—Railway
