THE GRAVEYARD OF THE PACIFIC
Oh! Ye powers that be! How long, oh how long, must
we entreat thee? How long must we ask, pray and suppli
cate before the throne of authority? How much more :
damage and destruction of property and how many more
lives of our citizens must be imperiled and sacrificed, be- j
fore the coast guard service will be extended to the West
ward from the Alaska Gulf to Bristol Bay whose waters
are known to all navigators as “The Graveyard of the
North Pacific”; instead of keeping their vessels resting
serenely upon the calm and placid waters of some land
locked harbor as close to intense civilization, social activ
ity, comfort and amusement as is possible to find in the
Terri to ry?
But perhaps we are all wrong. Perhaps the rea
son for placing these revenue cutters in Alaskan waters
is only to protect our shores from foreign invasion. How
ever, we have been lead to believe it was also to give aid
to vessels in distress and to save human lives when in im
minent danger. If the latter be true, why is not at least
one cutter stationed in this vicinity. Cordova, Seward
and Kodiak all have wireless stations, the latter, however,!
beng in the closest proximity to all the wrecks that have |
occurred during the last two and one-half years in these j
most dangerous waters of the Pacific Ocean.
Vessels that have been lost are as follows:—
The “Venus”, a halibut boat, wrecked and towed to
Ketchikan. The ‘Scandia” under charter to the Interna
tional Fisheries Commission, a total loss, the crew bare-1
ly being rescued, through the valiant efforts of the cap
tain and erew of the cannery tender Duncan. The “Uni
verse” a total loss. The ‘Olivia” cast upon the beach. The
halibut boat ‘Alaska” a total wreck and her crew of ten
cast ashore on the desolate wastes of the southeastern
coast of Kodiak Island, and of late, three halibut schoon
ers which had been fishing on the banks near Kodiak,
all total wrecks and their crews of about 27 men whose
lifeless bodies are now resting beneath the waves of the
mighty deep, or cast ashore upon the rocks of some des
olate island.
Perhaps, there is a reason for this condition of gov
ernmental apathy and inattention to the oft repeated
prayers for relief, but if so, we have been unable to dis
cern it.
About all that is needed to finish up the oil scandals
is to give the boys certificates of merit.
