U.S.S. SNOHOMISH GOES
WITH R JEF FOR PULITZER
The U. S. S. Snohomish tied up at i
.he dock last night shortly after the
Alameda had sailed for the south. The ;
Snohomish was ordered north about
nine days ago to search for the Pulit
ter, the Westward mail boat which
.vas reported at Chignik yesterday.
She will continue on to Chignik where
she will pick up the crew bf tile Pul
.tzer and return with them to Seward.
On her way back she will stop in at
lodiak with mail she has aboard for
.hat place.
* The Pulitzer is on the beach at
Chignik and may possibly be wrecked
oeyond salvage. Lt. Cm dr. F. L. Aust
n said that he did not think an at
.empt would be made to tow the Pul
tzer to Seward at this time. The U. S.
S. Snohomish was built in 1908 as a re
sult of the famous Valencia disaster,
and is ordinarily stationed x at Cape
Flattery, Wash. Her cruising territory
extends from the Columbia River to
the north end of Vancouver Island.
She carries a crew of about seventy
men. Her officers are, l£ Cmdr. F. L.
Austin, commanding.
Lt Cmdr. F. A. Zeusler, Executive. |
Lt Cmdr. F. H. Young, Chief En-1
gineer.

Captain Austin was in comand of
Jie Eagle boat Columbia during Che
»\rar, and was later in command of the
Northern Pacific. He has been in com
mand o fthe Snohomish for a year. In
I
the war the Snohomish was engaged
in convoy and patrol duty between At
lantic ports and the Azores Island, ofi
the coast of Portugal. The Snohomisl
derives its odd name from the Snoho
mish tribe of Indians in western
Washington. She has made many try
ing an<f dangerous trips, the last im
portant one prior to her present trip
being the search for the ship Pierre
which wnt asore near Cape Johnson.
_ i
Washington. The vessel is staunchly
Btailt and is exceptionally seaworthy
and strong. Her crew consists of i
bunch of young men who are seconc
to none in the navy. All of them full oi
/
pep and ready for any emergency
Their duties cover a wide scope fron.
rescueing marooned people to fighting
fire. Practically the entire personell o.
the ship saw Seward last night anc
this morning and all of them are unit
ed in thinking that Seward is one ol
the best towns they have visited in
Alaska. Gunner Frank M. Meals is s
Valdez boy and a Pioneer of Alaska
being a member oi the Valdes Igloo.
Mdny Seward and Seldovia people who
'formerly lived in Valdez will rememb
er him. “Coming events cast theix
shadows before/* is an old saying and
the presence of the sailors and officers
on the streets of Seward last night an
this morning, will beyond a question of
doubt be a familiar sight to the people
of Seward within the next year. The
Navy is planning for several things
• i
for Seward and Alaska, one of them
will be the stationing of just tfuch a
boat as the Snohomish here at all
times. A dance will be given for the
officers and men when they return
from the westward.
