ADMIRAL SCHLEY’S OLD
CUTTER TO BE AUCTIONED
OFF AS A “WAR BRIDE”
(Special to Gateway by United Press}
SAN FRANCISCO, April 27.—
After bucking the ice in most of the
j seven seas for thirty-five years, the
Coast Guard Cutter Thetis is cruising
into this port to go into the govern
mental discard today by public auc
| tion.
The European war saved the Thetis
from the scrap heap. Steamship men
I all over the United States await her
arrival here. They are to bid for her
when the government auctioneer an
! nounces:
“One steamship, gentlemen.”
During her sendee the Thetis has
j not been a liner and a |ady. She
j started out Vs a Dundee whaler, a
work that requires mainly what
sailors call “guts.” |
The Thetis entered the navy in
1883, when, commanded by then Capt.
W. S. Schley, she went with two other
ships, to rescue Lieut. A. W. Greeley,
afterwards Major General Greeley,
from the Arctic ice. She served as a
navy survey ship on one trip carrying
a load of reindeer from Siberia to Al
aska. The fact that she was con
demned by the Navy a dozen years
ago did not interfere with her effi
ciency.
Coast Guard men say they would
have been lucky two years ago to get
$3,000 for her. Now, they say, they
expect her to bring $30,000. She is
expected to pay for herself on her
first trip.
