CAPTAIN NAHO SAYS
ALEUTIAN ISLANDS ARE
STILL UNEXPLORED
“I dare say that the Aleutian
Islands, taken as a whole, are the
most desolate and unexplored part
of the earth today,” said Captain
H. Naro, of the motorship Einar
Beyer.
“What little information there is
on the maps is mostly wrong,” he
continued. “The present maps were
taken from Russian data mostly
and what the Russians didn’t know
they guessed at. On Adak Island
for instance, I was told about a
harbor by the Indians. I found
there a fine land-locked harbor in
which the largest steamer can rest.
Very few know of this harbor.
“Within one mile of where the
States Steamship Co., freighter Ne
vada was wrecked, was a cabin well
stocked with provisions, which
surviving members of the crew
could have reached. I built it- my
self three years ago when working
for Mr. Bowman, the canneryman.
If any of the men had stirred
around a bit they could not have
failed to discover it. They imagined
they were on a barren island and
did not look around any.”
The Einar Beyer, a motorship o!
104 gross tons, is loaded with coal
and genera] supplies for the Aleu
tian Islands. She is operated by
the recently organized Aleutian
Navigation Co. The incorporators
are Captain Naro, the two engin
eers on the boat, D. Golley and R.
Clark, and L. Meaham, of Seattle.
“We believe in the possibilities
of the Aleeutian Islands,” said the
captain. “This trip we shall go to
Unalaska and as far as Unimak.
On the next trip we shall go as far
as Kiski Island, one of the out
flung islands in the Pacific on the
Aleutian chain.
“We are old-timers in the coun
try and know that trading can be
developed with the islands. There
are natives up there who get their
own paint from the ground, and
who make ornaments of precious
mineral. White man’s foot has
never touched on some of the is
lands. They are natural breeding
grounds for fur-bearing animals
and can be used for many trade
purposes.”

Larry Chilberg limped home Fri
day after a seige at the Seward
Hospital, but left his appendix be
hind. Larry Huff, his team-mate
in misery, is remaining to kid the
medico? and charming nurses a
couple of days more. He probab
ly will be able to crawl home Sun
day. If such is the case the in
mates and staff wiil probab'y sigh
with relief and get some needed
rest.
It is reported the twins plan to
put the editor in the hospital next.
Tsk, tsk, tsk!
The first thing Larry Huff asked
for when he awoke and found his
! bunkie had left, was to see his ap
! pendix.
j “Let’s see,” said the nurse, “it
! was right here last night; but it’s
! gone/’
“I knew it! That accounts for
his making a sneak on me while
I was asleep. He’s got my appen
dix and and will tell everybody he
is the champion two-appendix bo
zo of the world and get a Hollywood
engagement. But he won’t get
away with it. You’ll know one of
them is mine by the long dewlaps
and the missing upper tooth.
“Can you tie to that!”
THE YEAR 1932
There have been times, I must
confess
When things have been in a mell
of a hess—
But just the same, I’ll say with
a grin,
“It’s a darn good year for the
shape it’s in!”
—The Alfalfa Philosopher.
