SEALS AND A MAN’S LIFE
A side from his many other duties Capt. 0. A. Johansen,
n master of the S. S. Starr and veteran navigator of
what is said to be the roughest stretch of water in the
world, bar none, takes over the duties of a government
cutter as witness Captain Johansen’s recent hunt and dis
covery of the gasboat Universe and its crew on Cherikoff
Island which small boat was blown ashore in a heavy gale.
Each winter it is the same old story of vessels being
wrecked and, occasionally, lives lost. It would seem that
one of these cutters which, during the summer months
patrol the North Pacific could be stationed throughout
the winter when they are needed.
Is the seal herd more valuable than even one man’s
life?
Perhaps the countries of Europe are striving for real
peace but it would appear, judging from the past, war in
the old country is more or less a business proposition.
Nations are similar to individuals, when there is nothing
;; to fight about there is no rest until someone starts some
thing.And by the same token it is what makes the wheels
go round over there.
v, They sure treat the commissioners in Russia rough.
Yesterday they chopped the head off of one. They haven’t
j got that bad in Alaska yet!!
