THE ETHICS OF SEAFARING MEN
They say all the world’s a stage and all men
and women merely players, and that one man in his time
plays many parts. This, undoubtedly is true, and the man
holding the center of the stage today in Seward is Captain
Vic Westerlund of the Steamer Alameda, of the A. S.
S. Co., due to his valiant and effective rescue of the pas
sengers, crew and the S. S. Starr itself, from might have
been a tragedy of the sea; his efficient officers and capa
ble crew likewise are to be applauded for their part of
the episode.
Capt. Heinie Berger, of the Motorship Discoverer,
and his crew, John Rasmussen, first mate; Nels Ander
sen,_ seaman; Emile Jacobson, cook, and Robert Stuart,
engineer, deserve the highest praise for their efforts in
connection with saving the Starr in the face of adverse
conditions. And too, the men on the Olive, Kodiak and
Oregon Wolf, are deserving of laudation for their hard
work during the period of stress.
It is beyond question of doubt that if the small boats
mentioned had delayed or were not available during this
particular period of time, the S. S. Starr may have suf
fered serious loss and it is due to their efforts that the
vessel was towed away from dangerous shoals to a point
of safety at sea for the Alameda to take in tow to the
Port of Seward.
Capt. Albert Barron, master of the S. S. Starr, is
worthy of the highest praise for landing all passengers
safely on shore while weather condtions briefly per
mitted. He took no chances and stood by with the crew
on the vessel until she was towed safely to port in Seward.
Deadwood Dick, frontier scout hero, celebrated his
82nd birthday by taking a 600-mile plane trip. Asked to
give his impressions of the flight, he was evasive, except
to admit that “it beats oxen for speed.’’
Profits in the use of air mail are shown by New
York banks, which saved $19,255.82 in interest charges
in four months by quicker collection of checks and drafts
from the West. Increased postage amounted to $1,965.07.
