LIVES OF HUMANS VS LIVES OF SEALS
Once more the threat against human lives and ship
mg by the angry winter waters of Southwestern Alaska
brings acutely to mind again the old, old question: Why
!<.oes the U. S. Coast Guard Service refuse a permanent
u!as" Sljai h cutter service for the most dangerous coast
or all Alaska? Why is it that the least mapped, lighted,
belled orbouyed portion of all Alaska’s ragged ' coast
waere shipping must feel its way and where storms are
c,ll^heii raging violence should get the least attention
. qm the Coast Guard? J here is little of it in the summer
time, a watchful Providence knows, but in the winter'
tmm, when even Providence forgets, there is none at all.
Within the oast week three ships drifted helplessly)
tpr many hours in the howling “southeaster’’ in that1
comparatively small area off the mouth of Cook Inlet:
entirely at the mercy of the towering seas while their
mor- fortunate sisters scurried to safety and disaster;
was only averted by kindly miracles. That so far as known
xe lost doe<5 not mitigate the fact that a staunch
government
germ.is area
vessel should have been oafrolling that dan
which has claimed its toll all too'often.
o nice for the Coast Guard boys to be up here in
me Peasant summer time cruising around following
seal herds and perhaps chasing alleged poachers. Its
still to be taking it easy along the sunlit coast of
California in the winter time but how about the poor,
hard-pressed mariner of these Northern waters chased
by a vengeful Neptune with an ice-pronged fork?
Cordova has been asking for years for Coast Guard
Putter service and so has Seward. Its about time for the
chambers of commerce of the two cities to take it up with
he department or the Seattle chamber, to see if some
:hing can be done. Westward traffic is increasing yearly
>ut the government is not keeping up with it either in
mast marking or in guarding precautions. The seal are
loing first straight thank you; so much so that they will
ioon increase the kill quota. But the mariners, God help
:he2n, are also subject’ to the Great Poacher Death, and
-or them the killing rate should be tightened.
f
Anyway, those gangsters who murder each other
are saving the public something in court expenses.
