ALASKA’S WONDER SHIP
Ragged, greasy clouds with jagged edges came
trooping up out of the west. Behind them the sun hid.
Bursts of rain, snow and sleet swept across the dark
ening sea, the drops so hard they seemed to cut one’s
face like bits of steel.
* The wind no longer blew in squalls; it had settled
down to a steady gale, 60 miles an hour or more, and
the sea, which under the sun’s rays had been a flash
ing white, became a sinister, dirty gray with spindrift
flying from the crest of every wave.
A man had to turn away his face in order to
breathe.
Great hpmbs of spray like shell bursts sprang in
to the air from the SS Starr’s plunging bows. An in
stant the Starr would hang poised, then drop like a
swooping gull into the trough of the sea, smothered
with spray.
And always, the measured “chunk-chunk-chunk”
of the clock-like engines down below.
This was the introduction to passengers on a re
cent voyage to Chirnofski. The roar ©f the wind and
the thunder of the surf died away as she sped on un
der the lee of the land; but it was not entirely smooth
and sheltered as a pond for five times that night was
the hook pulled and away from that place she sped.
The SS Starr, of the San Juan Fishing & Packing
Company. Capt. C. E. Anderson, master. Alaska’s won
der ship.
Now if that Beesemyer person down in Southern
California, civic and social leader, and perhaps member
of Aimee’s Four-Square Church, who got away with
$8,000,000 from 20,000 depositors, only, saved enough
to employ an array of legal lights he will probably get
off with 80 days or eight months at the outside. If he
had only taken $800 he would probably draw7 8 years.
Senator Heflin declares his opponents stole 50,000
votes. Well, there’s nothing like doing things in a big
way.
To appreciate the sea-worthiness of a plain dory,
the hundreds of them bobbing upon the waters of the
Westward is ample evidence of their popularity. In
fact they are about the only type of small craft which
day after day successfully battles the elements and 99
times emerge on top.
One thing about our enemies. They don’t pester us
with advice.
Judging from the rattle, Mussolini’s saber must
have been made out of an old model T.

to his fast-departing machine to;
make himself a flying leap and j
attach himself to the .spare tire- j
For nearly a mile, while the man 1
at the wheel raced on, oblivious ofj
his passenger, Williams clung des- j
perately to his precarious perch.!
About this time, however, Wil- j
hams unusual position came under
the scrutiny of Patrolman C. E. I
Kounkel and J. Weathersby, who. |
believing the windblown figure on j
the spare tire to be ‘up to no good.”
, forced the automobile to the curb
with their prowler car and pounced
on the bewildered Williams
Williams who gave his address
as 124 Fourteenth Avenue, was able
to establish his identity, but the
driver, a Japanese who said he was

arrest. He was locked up on an
open charge.
