(Continued from Page One)
At 5:30 o’clock conditions in the
harbor became more acute, the 'wind
being acompanied by hail, which stung
like a lash and flayed the faces of the
men working on deck of the boats,
As night drew on, the Starr, Attu
and Cape Beal found a spot near the
west shoreline of the bay where the
force of the gale was less pronounced
and where they finally secured anchor
age.
The Admiral Watson, which cleared ■
for Kodiak as 9 o’clock in the fore
noon, turned back at Harding En
trance and was forced to cruise about
in the bay until the storm abated suf
ficiently to allow her to continue her
voyage.
The most serious damage resulting
from the storm was the battering of
the floating dock for small boats.
Skiffs beached on the float were wash
ed off and battered on the beach,
while considerable damage was done
to the floats where they chafed and
battered together.
The storm which was so spectacular
in Seward yesterday was nothing com
pared to that experienced on the
banks, say the boatmen. It has been
raging since February 16, with the
peak of fury breaking two days ago.
By noon today halibut boats began
i to creep into Seward from the banks,
bringng stories of the fury of Neptune,
\ v
| Proteus and the other ancient mythi
cal storm gods of land and sea.
Of the five boats making ports the Re
public, Captain William Hegge, bore
the greatest number of scars of battle.
Her starboard rail just abaft the fore- 1
mast, was carried away by an im- '
menense sea, which also smashed in
the hatch covering and earned awray
i the port tackle tables, along with
many fathoms of tackle.
Captain Ole Bjorke of the Aku
tan, lost two dories in a battle with
the elements since leaving Ketchikan
February 16. Two days ago the
storm struck the banks with its great
est fury. He was carried to Middle
ton Island, where his staunch little
craft fought like a thing alive to es
cape destruction.
“A great roller would sweep in on
us and we would speculate whether
it was a comber or the breakers, and
wait breathlessly for the bump that
would tell us we were on the beach,”
said Captain Bjorke. “There was no
light to indicate the shore or from
which to take bearings, so we navi
gated by instinct. Luckily we got our
bearings off the mouth of Harding
Entrance and under the shelter of
of Seal rocks, otherwise there is no
saying what might have happened.
“Picking our -way into the En
trance, through the darkness and
hail,” said Captain Bjorke, “was all
gueswork. The flash buoy could not
be seen, only when we were on the
crest of a roller.”
All of the remaining skippers re
lated similar battles with the storm,
and were a unit in their pleading for
a light on Middleton Island and one
at the northwest end of uRgged Island
and a breakwater in the bay.
Speculation is rife among the skip
pers now in port as to the fate of the
remainder of the halibut fleet, number
'
ing somq 150 boats, now on the banks
or in sheltering bays. It would be no _
surprise if loss of boats and life were
reported.
The boats now in port include: The
Leviathan, Captain Ed. Strand; Cape
Beale of Vancouver, B. C.; Margaret
No. 1 (Canadian), Captain Fritz; Nor
dic, Captain Ole Peterson; Constitu
tion, Captain Marius Malvar; Repub
lic, Captain Martin Hegge; Akutan,
Captain Ole Bjorke; Arctic.
The Attu discharged 3,000 pounds
of fish, the Democrat, 7,000 pounds,]
and the Nordick 9,000 pounds.

LOOKING AHEAD
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and Justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
faith in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. “Looking Ahead” to still great
er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and that the fhture is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”
