IT BLOWS IN SEWARD
The Times dislikes to believe it, but it must be true,
because it was printed in the Seward Gateway. Never
theless it goes against the grain to acknowledge that a
vessel anchored in the beautiful harbor of the Resurrec
tion bav citv could l>t‘ blown out to sen by the terrific gales
% %
which rage constantly in that section.
The only reason The Times hesitates to believe the
story is that a'l shipping men kno wwell that there is very
little and very poor anchorage in the Seward har
bor: they know also that the wind from the hills whistles
constantly through ihe city, the only variation being that
it sometimes blows harder than others; and for these rea
sons the careful mariner who contemplates having his
vessel lie in the Seward harbor usually gets a line ashore,
in order to withstand the perpetual gale.
The story was printed in The Times not to knock
Seward, but merely in the wav of information in order to
uard any other careless skippers who might in the future
contemplate a call at the windy port.—Anchorage Times.
Why, your poor little fatherless ptarmigan, come in
out of 3b degrees below zero weather and get warm by the
kitchen stove. The above isn’t a knock little fowl for,
your statements and attempts at being facetious are ridic
ulous and poor. When anything happens in Seward, of
real importance, the Gateway prints it. Y es, we will
print the story of the Esrracouta dragging her anchor in a
gale, for gales will sweep every port and do damage. (See,
your press dispatches for the past few weeks.) We try
to tell the truth but do not do like you do, little fowl, say
that the “Transport Crook made fast time unloading and
safely got awa\.” when, on her last trip, the Crook had a
frightful time, lost over $2000 of hawser and anchor
chains, two anchors and inridentally two large barges
were smashed in attempting to load the freight from the
transport.
No. little fowl, when your pm ieatPei's grow, you win
learn better than say. “that all shipping men know well
that there is a very little and very poor anchorage in th
Seward harbor." for down in your craw, little fowl—now
digest this too—if it hadn’t been for your so-called anchor
age-less harbor, you would never had a coup in which to
have been hatched, for the early freight for your hen yard
was unloaded in the “perpetual gale” harbor. We do not
know what the manners do in your “to be dredged har
bor" but every careful mariner should get a line ashore1
alwavs, but of course in Anchor-less Cook Inlet this
would be impossible unless thev tied to a tide washed mud
hill.
And just a parting word, little fowl, it is no w about
that time of the year when heads l>egin to drop for the
holiday dinners. Keep yours little fowl and you will per
haps grow in cranial development.
We will always consider we have had a narrow es- j
cape. The Seward Gateway stated that it would be rath
er expensive to hold a term of court at Anchorage at this
season of the year and the Anchorage Times forthwith
called the editor of the Seward paper a yellow cur, a mon
grel pup, and several other choice Anchorage epithets.
And to think that we nearly expressed the same opinion.

Corp. Edgar 0. Williams leaves Seward after three
months spent here with the Home Guards, carrying the
respect of every man, woman and child in this community
who were fortunate in knowing him. He is an efficient
officer, one of the men in the war service, like the others,
we are proud of and respect.
Friday, Saturday and Monday yet remain full days to j
o your Christmas shopping, Christmas day should he ush
ored in with generosity and gentleness and not with the
"bad taste of the morning after” a wild, tiring night of the
eleventh hour shopping.
