RESPONSIBILITIES OF A SKIPPER
I
!
Time was when to make a tiip to Kodiak Island or
other Y\ estward point was an adventure if not a sorely
tedious undertaking.
In the days of the old Dora and other craft about
whom sagas of the sea have been wi Aten, even under the
Pest of seamanship it was a case of get there when you
can, if at all
These things are recalled lest we forget that Seward,
"s connected bv mgular schedule to that vast Westward j
empire by a service which few dreamed of in those stir-'
ling Dora days, and which may be said to be in advance I
of what could have been developed solely under the stim- j
ilus of demand. One does not have to speculate on when
the SS Stan- will arrive or depart. Neither is the man j
who must maintain business communication with the i
Outside world any longer compelled to trust to fortuitous!
circumstances of communication to carry on his business.
nut these are but minor items when one considers
hoe responsibility reposed upon the skipper of the Starr.
No commander of a British tramp steamer, wandering
me length and breadth of the seven seas, is called upon
:o pc'■form the service imposed upon men like Captain
Arthur Ryning.
A case in point :au:e to notice recently. As the Starr
was casting oh her lines and preparing to point her nose
for the open sea. a man called across to Captain Ryning:
“If you see
codfish/’ It required
the identity . nd loco
tell him to send me a half barrel of
several questions and answers to fix

request. Evidently the latter did not

J hit by k came the answer: “All right, I’ll look after
• w w.\ ii tnai hall-barrel of codfish failed to show up,
'• something does not click, one may have his own guess
as to whose head received the shower of blame.
This represents just one of the hundred and one
I mmmssiens imposed upon the captain of the Starr. And
:t accounts often for the unjust criticism directed toward
me entire Westward transportation system.
All of which again emphasizes the value to Seward
and the region served by the Starr and the good fortune
owners and public in having a man of Captain Ryn
ing’s training and diplomatic personality to keep this
service up to its present excellent state.
Like many other aids to progress, the Starr has be
come an institution ana too much stress cannot be laid
upon its value to Seward and the Westward.
Now that the heat of political battle has cooled it is
safe to sav that there was real fear on the part of the ad
ministration th.il the mob would take over the goxern
ment. rJ hey actually did at the ballot box.
