THE HE-MEN OF THE NORTH PACIFIC
In the waters that would challenge the courage of the
* boldest of skippers the rescue of the tugboat Roosevelt
from Wessel’s Reef by the schooner Attu, Captain Peter
Wold, and his crew of three, Ben Aspin, engineer; Rolph
Hornberg and Rolph Flam, bravely faced the elements
and came out victors. And their valor is acclaimed today
by every citizen in Seward.
It is heroic rescues of this sort—the Roosevelt carried
16 men in her crew—that the interrogation point has been
eliminated from Alaska water transportation. The trav
eler seldom speculates upon his chances of reaching his
destination for he knows the stuff Alaskan mariners
are made of.
Congratulations are being showered upon Captain
Wold and his able crew and rightly so for they have per
formed one of the most remarkable rescues ever recorded
in the sea history of the North Pacific. To hear them
talk about it, however, one gains the impression it was
just a part of the day’s work; their modesty is commend
able.
From the San Juan Fishing & Packing Co., in Seat
tle, owners of the steamer Starr, which the Roosevelt
was towing, Mr. Calvert, head of the company, wires his
congratulations to Captain Wold, further stating he will
see that “your interests are protected regarding your sal
vage service of the tug Roosevelt.” From Latouche the
Captain of the Roosevelt radiod a long message singing
the praise of Captain Wold and his crew for “The most
wonderful work I ever saw.”
Seward has always been proud of the men who “go
down to the sea” but never more than today.
The great need of Alaska is more promoters of
ability.
