THE CODE OF THE SEA FORGOTTEN
We have said little but pondered much over what
seems to be a flagrant violation of ethics upon the sea;
namely, the cutter Unalga which, as far as we know, is
still holed up at Juneau while the S. S. Alameda, a pas
senger liner, acted the part of a good Samaritan in as
sisting the disabled Steamer Starr to port.
A good illustration may be put this way: If the local
fire department was called upon to rush to a house burn
ing down, would it be proper for the fire chief to say he
could not go until he filled the truck up with gasoline? We
think not. Yet when the Unalga was wirelessed to assist
a. passengd*r steamer in difficulty- the Starr- the answer
is received that it will speed out just as soon as coal has
been taken aboard!
We grant the Alameda would have been first to ar
rie at Dark Island where the Starr lay at anchor yet ex
posed to the whims of the elements, but is would certain
ly seem the only cutter within a radius of thousands of
miles would have at least been prepared for any emergen
cy which are forever arising in these waters. The idea of
another passenger boat on which hundreds of lives were
on, having to carry on alone in effecting a rescue, is pre
posterous. It is the unwritten law of the sea that one ves
sel will go to the other; generally, a swarm of craft head
direct to the spot where it is known a sister-ship is in dis
tress. Evidently this code is not adhered strictly to by the
cutter service in Alaska of whom we brave their wrath
in order to relieve the pent-up'feeling we have within our
breast.
The very name, coast guard service, would infer the
duty of the cutters would be just that, coast guard. We
certainly would like to have an explanation of the Unal
ga’s hesitancy in answering the Starr’s SOS.
DESERVED RECOGNITION
The legion of Alaskan friends of Lieut. Ben Eielson,
pioneer airman of the North, rejoice that Congress has
bestowed upon him the Congressional Medal of Honor.
His ability has long been known to Alaskans but Wash
ington only recently discovered it. Eielson was pilot of
the first plane in the Interior, flew across the Polar re
gions with Capt. Sir George H. Wilkins and is nowr in
the Antarctic with the latter.
Brokers with big stocks of Alaska canned salmomon
Land are fortunate. The new regulations announced yes
terday gives these lucky chaps a ‘Corner on Salmon.”
