FIRST OFFICER
IS AN EXCELLENT LINGUIST
AND SPEAKS THREE TONG
UES FLUENTLY
After being repulsed in many at
tempts to interview Mr. Mori, the
busy First Officer of the Japanese
freighter Taiyu Mam now in port,
the Gateway broke thru the first
line of defense, eluding customs of
ficers. watchman and ships quar
termasters long enough to gain the
presence of the smiling capable
person who is silently supervising
the stowing of the 4700 tons of
scrap iron within the vessel’s lower
holds.
“After leaving your beautiful
city”, said Mr. Mori, who speaks
English, ‘‘we will proceed to Van
couver, B. C., to take on a cargo of
logs, about 1,000.000 feet, and then
sail again for Japan.”
Asked about his vessel he said
the Taiyu is the former “Banca”
purchased from the P. & O. Line of
London about five years ago at
which time it was being used to
carry general cargo between Lon
don and Yokohoma. Since coming
under the flag of its Japanese own
ers the ship has been in tramp ser
vice and going constantly. Prior
to coming to Alaska, the Taiyu took
I a full cargo of soya beans to Ham
jburg, Germany, sailing from there
jto the next port of call, where iron
ore was loaded with coal for Singa
jpore.
Batu Pahat, near Singapore, was
'the next port of call, where iron ore
was taken aboard and delivered to
Yawata, Mr. Mori explained, the
lore being manufactured into iron
(ornaments. Sailing orders at Yawa
ta then sent the Taiyu to Sew
ard, Alaska, a mission which, since
'its announcement, has held the in
terest of the entire crew. It was at
’this point that the company as
signed Captain Sato, a most ex
perienced navigator, to conduct the
ship on its voyage to Alaska. Six
i ten days were required to make
the trip from Yawata to Seward, a
i distance of 4039 miles.
| Though reluctant to speak about
! himself, information was drawn
| from Mr. Mori that he graduated
:six years ago from Tokyo Nautical
'College, the highest institute of
learning in Japan. Besides his na
Itive tongue, he speaks English,
| German, and Spanish, which lan
guages he also reads and writes
above the average. He holds Mas
ters papers, good on all seas.
Regarding the specifications of
the Taiyu Maru, Mr. Mori stated'
that the vessel is of 6212 gross tons,
and a net registry of 4585 tons. The
ship’s length is 460 feet, beam 52
and depth 32 feet. It draws 25 feet
of water under full load.

FACTS ABOUT ALASKA
BELATED BT SAWYER
A barrage of newspaper clip
pings landed flush on the Gate
way’s desk yesterday in which j
is related the recent trip to the
Territory of Ernest Sawyer Wal- |
ker, executive assistant to the
Secretary of the Interior. The
estimable gentleman, whom Alas
kans hope to see again soon, re- ;
turned to Washington, D. C., |
via the wide-open spaces, name- !
ly, the State of California. He j
was the guest of numerous or
ganizations and as his subject,
apparently, chose to talk on i
Alaska; which he did in his !
very able and interesting manner, i
In the famous words of Cap- j
tain O. A. Johansen “More pow
er to him!”
In addition to relating facts
about the Territory Mr. Sawyer
must have supervised the draw
ing of £ wonderful relief map
which bears the caption “Land
of Yukon held logical junction- j
point for vast skyline network j
of future.” |
The articles are too long to
be reproduced in this issue but
the first will appear tomorrow.
