Private Scouting Trip Reports Meeting
With Russian Fishing Fleet Off Alaska
By STANTON H. PATTY
(Editor’s note: This is the sec
ond of three articles describing
the voyage of a Seattle fishing ves
sel which made a private scouting
trip to report on Russian and Jap
anese fishing activities in Alaskan
waters. Stanton H. Patty, only
newspaperman aboard, tells today
| of the meeting with the Russians.)
SEATTLE, (ffi — The crew of
the Jeannette F. of Seattle headed
north in the Bering Sea the after
noon of Juy 5 to begin searching
for the elusive Russian fishing
fleet.
Only one clue was available: an
estimated positibn reported three
days before.
Fog clung like a spider’s web
around the boat. Squalls were
heavy as the Jeannette F. moved
toward the shallower, 20-fathom
water.
The Jeannette F. pushed on
through the fog. The radio picked
up an English-language broadcast
from Radio Moscow — attacking
America for “warmongering.”
“Well, the music is pretty any
how,” said Captain Arne Serwold
during an intermission of gypsy
violins.
All the next day, July 6, the
Jeannette closed the gap toward
the pinpoint of ocean where the
Russians might be.
The break came at 1:30 o’clock
last Tuesday.
Three “blips” appeared on the
edge of the radar screen. They
multiplied in rapid order—6, 10,
12 and then 20.
“This is it!” Serwold declared.
The skipper ordered the Amer
ican flag raised. The Jeanette F.
pulsed with excitement.
Then the crew saw the dim out
' lines of the two steel-hulled
trawlers. A tattered, faded ham
mer-and-sickle banner flew from
the stern of the nearest trawler.
The surprised Russian crew
lined the deck.
i The crew of the Jeannette F.
waved. The Russians waved back
vigorously. The Russian captain
] motioned the Jeannette F. along
1 side — and then thought better
of it and pointed toward the center
of the fleet.
Serwold stopped the Jeannette
F. inches from the headquarters
ship of the 28-vessel fleet that
spread over an area three miles
square.
Women in cotton dresses and
workmen in heavy-duty clothing
waved gaily from the ship. The
women giggled and smiled at the
Americans across the water.
Gifts of cigarettes were ex
changed. The Russians gathered in
the American cigarettes. Some
ripped them open right away and
; sniffed the tobacco. Others
j clutched the cartons as if to say:
“These are mine alone.”
Then the Russian captain barked
jmiiitinmmiimmiiimiiiimiiiifiifiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiifiiiiiiii
a curt order to clear the decks.
The workers turned away re
luctantly.
The Jeannette F. paid “courtesy
calls” on several other ships. There
was the same enthusiastic recep
tion each time.
One Russian on a freezer ship
signaled that he had something to
give the Americans. Serwold
guided the Jeannette closer and
the Russians dropped eight large
frozen halibut on the deck.
To the American offer to come
aboard for a bottle of whisky, the
Russian captain, plainly wanting
to, said in halting English:
“No, I cannot.”
The Americans passed it to him
in a piece of webbing.
Then suddenly the Russians
turned glacial. The decks emptied.
They had been given “the word.”
The Jeannette dragged the area.
The net brought up about 1,000
pounds of sole and one halibut.

Proper Use of Color
Clothing Workshop
Mrs. Jean Burand of the Uni
versity of Alaska Extension Ser
vice announces that those attend
ing the first session of the clo
thing workshop at the LWY Com
! munity Center yesterday after
| noon added another phase to the
I workshop. In deference to the un
animous request of those attend
| ing, a portion of the Thursday
| meeting will be devoted to mix
ing and matching colors to the
1 best advantage for the wearer. On
! Thursday the ladies are requested
to bring scarves, sweaters and
yardage of various colors.
f These fabrics, said Mrs. Burand,
should be figured, striped, or
! checked as well as plain.
“Did you know that design can
emphasize or minimize complex
ion features; can . make your
freckles or pimples seem to rise
up and shout, or seem to disap
! pear magically. Or that a color
too exactly like that of the skin
i can make you look like your own
j grandmother?” said Mrs. Burand.
In each of these cases a platter
| collars are as modern as tomorrow
j the same garment attractive and
i pretty . . . for pennies. The big
colars are as modern as tomorrow
according to the latest fashions.
Mrs. Burand pointed out that
the point in all this color business
is that the true tribute is “How
lovely you look,” rather than
“What a pretty dress.” Each part
of the picture must take its place
in the picture. In remodelling a
garment to fit and serve more
satisfactorily the color harmony
can bear a little extra thought.
At Tuesday’s meeting it was
found that lengthening clothing,
making children’s clothing from
adult garments and sleeve treat
ment were the biggest headaches
in home alterations.
Today details were to be given
for a fly front in little boys’ trou
,sers, restyling a skirt, and to find
| out why the sleeves of a problem
! dress “just aren’t right.”
The chapter on color will be ex
plored from 2 till 4 on Thursday
at the VWY Community Center.
