MPT. ITT PEASLEY
. AND SCIENTIFIC PARTY
TO STUDY WEES
Capt. Ralph (Matt) Peasley, one
of the most romantic sailormen
0K>i the ocean routes, is going to
sea again, reports the Seattle
Times. He is not heading for dis
tant climes in a prosiac lumber
schooner as he has done in for
mer days of his colorful career,
but will set out from Seattle July
l with a whaling expedition with
a modern flavor, bound for Alas
kan waters.
In past years Seattle witnessed
sturdy steam “killer boats” sail
'Hway for the northern whaling
grounds for a harvest of oil, bone
and fertilizer. However, the expe
dition Captain Peasley, hero of
Peter P. Kyne’s stories of the sea,
will join is of a different sort. Its
members are not the least bit
Interested in whale oil, whale bone
or fertilizer. They are going to
hunt whales with a camera and
not a harpoon gun.
The “cargo” they hope to bring
back will consist of reels of mo
tion picture and still photographs
of the playful finbacks enjoying
themselves in their native haunts.
A whaling ship of a different
sort is being outfitted on Lake
Washington for the curise. She is
the 45-foot auxiliary sloop Linda,
equpped with a 50-horsepower en
gine.
The expedition is being organiz
ed by F. W. Schmoe, naturalist of
the Puget Sound Acadamy of Sci
ence. Captain Peasley will be the
master of the sloop. Her crew will
consist of a group of young scien
tists, including Samuel Harby of
Columbia University, New York
City; Henry Lohse, a student of
the Lakeside School; Francis Hol
man. a student at Garfield High
School; Leonard Jones, who is:
attending the State Normal School •
at Bellingham, and H. L. Seeger. |
®on instructor at Lakeside School.
The expedition will collect spec- j
mens of life in Alaska for the j
State Museum, with which Mr. j
ichmoe is associated. The whale
pictures will be taken between ,
Glacier Bay and Mount Fairweath- |
er.
Captain Peasley, who formerly
commanded the schooner yacht
Sanwan owned by Frank Moran, j
leif the vessel in Santa Barbara, j
Ke has had an interesting career. ,
m addtion to being a navigator j
known in every harbor on the Pa- 1
cific Coast, he is a woodsman,j
hunter and fisherman. He is a tall,
robust figure, with the twinkle of
the oldtime sailownan in his eye.
Captain Peasley was born in East
port, Me., and first came to the
Pacific Coast in 1888. His early
boyhood was spent at sea, mostly
along the rugged coast of Maine.
