PLETES LAST TRIP OF SEA
SON TO BRISTOL BAY
Bucking a head wind from Tonki
Point to Barren Island last night
that gave them only 35 miles in
seven hours ,t.he S. S. Starr of hte
San Juan Fishing & Packing Co.,
made the Port of Seward last night
at 1. o’clock after she hal been re
ported for 6 o’clock yesterday even
ing. She brought in 52 passengers
on this, her last trip of the season
to Bristol Ray, although she sails
again Monday for Unalaska, ex
pecting to be back here on the
23rd., after which she will proceed
io Seattle.
“It sure was some blow,” said
Capt. Barron “and the passengers
had a rough time of it. They were
nearly all good sailors however,
and took the buffeting in good part
even though we were crowded for
space.
“We struck several hard blows
because these fall winds get mighty
boisterous, and we will doubtless
nave a merry time on our next
trip.”
Capt. Barron toid of taking seven
horses, six cows and 38 tons of
freight out to Chinofski on Uualas
ka Island for the Aleutian Live
stock Co., from Unalaska. “The
cows were blooded Holsteins from
*he fine stock section of Washing
ton where they make Carnation
milk, and were all with calf. One
of the horses was a beautiful white
— stud and the six mares were picked
animals, all of them with colt.
Those people are certainly doing
things right out there. On this
t^p out I will have another 100
tons of freight for them, now wait
ing at Unalaska and will bring back
at least 75 tons of that fine wool
they are raising at Nikolski and
also on Umnak Island, if it could ali
be brought together there would be
some 200 Lons of wool.”
There will be about 150 tons of
freight leaving Seward on this trip
out, 67 tons of which will be trans
ferred from the Yukon upon her
arrival tonight. The Starr will sail
about 8 p. m. Monday evening, the
8th according to present indica
tions^ It is not known how heavy a
passenger list she will have but
some are expected on the S. S. Yu
kon. The Starr will bring back
about 100 tons of salt fish in addi
•— tion to the wool, Capt. Barron said.
