GENTLEMEN UNAFRAID
Alaskans may justly be proud of Barrett Willoughby,
author of “Gentlemen Unafraid’’, recently published
by G. W. Putnam’s Sons, and which is now on sale thru
out the Territory. She possesses every quality essential
to the writing of a great book on Alaska. What could be
more ideal than the child of a rollicking Irish adventurer,
reared in romantic Alaska, to become the interpreter of
its people and . customs? She has a vivid imagination,
sparkling in wit and not in reckless profusion, but rare
as diamonds. Her discriptions have the clearness of math
ematical precision as well as the ease of fiction. Her
style is smooth and her diction appropriate.
The first chapter, chasing the “Will-o’-the-Wisp of
Fortune,” is an account of the varied experiences of the
family from the time that her father pushed out from
Seattle for Alaska in the small craft Tyee. She tells of
wild stormy nights ,as a little child lying in her bunk,
she listened to the pounding of the waves and the groan
ing of the vessel. She tells how her father stood alone
against a mutinous crew and conquered, and closes with
an account of the perfidy of the White Chief who bought
the Tyee and persuaded her father to take his family to
lone, uninhabitable Middleton Island to hunt for gold'and
then deserted them. The account of those nine months of
struggle against starvation is pathetic and yet thrilling.
The second chapter: A Trail Blazer at the Top of the
World, gives a very interesting sketch of the life and ad
ventures of Malcomn (Sandy) Smith. It tells of Black Bet
sy, the first and only boat, ever taken over the Endicott
Range and floated North into the Arctic Ocean. It tells
of his discovery of the lakes of oil.
lhe third chapter, the King of the Arctic Trails,
gives a fine sketch of the life of Scotty Allen and a thrill
ing account of the Derby races, and of the exploits of
Baldy of Nome the greatest leader in the North.
Chapter four: A Pioneer who works in the Dark,
relates of the adventures, exploits and great contribution
to Alaska’s prosperity of George Mathew Evans, now
consulting mining engineer for the United States Bureau
of Mines.
Chapter five: The Champion swift-water Pilot of the
North is the climax of thrills. None but one who had
spent her early life on board a small boat in Alaskan wat
ers could understand and so vividly discribe the thrilling
exploits of this daring pilot of the Yukon, Captain Syd
ney Barrington, then the youngest navigator in the
North.
The last chapter, the Plant Wizard, very appropri
ately takes up the work of Dr. C. C. Georgenson. In this
chapter she tells, in her fascinating way, how his tireless,
patient experiments in agriculture and animal husban
dry, paves the way for the development of one of Alas
ka’s most potential resources—resources for the subste
nance of three millions of people.

City On Brief Visit
E. Pettelin, leading business man
j of Afognak, is paying his first j
visit to Seward in about five years,
and is intensely pleased with the
progress noted for “Progress here
: means advancement for us in the
Westward area, ”he said. Mr. Pett
elin’s charming family did not ac
company him on this trip which is
one of business.
Mr. Pettelin is one of the early
day settlers in the Hope district
j and, as the saying goes, arrived on
I Cook Inlet long before that famous
ditch was dug. While in the city he
is taking the opportunity to re
new acquaintances with his many
friends.
