A CAREER OF ACHIEVEMENT
Unexpectedly, Seward was greeted with a pleasant
surprise Thursday when one of the nattiest looking
yachts ever to have dropped hook in the Port of Seward,
hove to off the ocean dock at noon yesterday and it was
with considerable pleasure Sewardites learned that one
of America’s—if not the world’s—most distinguished rail
road officials, William W. Atterbury, and his family,
Mrs. Atterbury and two sons, had honored the city with
a visit, if only for two days.
Aside from his achievements as an executive of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, one of the outstanding works in
General Atterbury’s career was his services as trans
portation expert to the United States in war times.
His career is an inspiration to the youth of Amer
ica. Beginning as an apprentice in the Altoona shops,
General Atterbury has attained the highest pinnacle of
success.
NEW EDITION OF ALASKA COAST PILOT
Captain R. S. Patton, Director, U. S. Coast and Geo
detic Survey, announces that a new edition of the Al
aska Coast Pilot, Part II, is now ready for distribution.
The volume covers the coast of Alaska westward from
Yakatat Bay and includes the Aleutian Islands, Bering
Sea and the Arctic Ocean. It contains a great deal of
new information based on surveys of the ships Surveyor
and Discoverer from 1927 to 1930, in the region between
Cape St. Elias and the southern end of Kodiak Island.
For the convenience of navigators, sailing directions
from Cape Spencer westward are arranged in tabular
form and a table showing distances between all the prin
cipal ports in Alaska is included.
While the Coast Pilot is intended primarily as a
guide to mariners, it also contains a great mass of val
uable information and is of considerable value as a refer
ence book. The index, for example, contains nearly 2,000
geographic names and affords a ready means of iden
tifying and locating unknown features.
The volume may be purchased from the United
States Coast and Geodetic Survey or its sales agents,
price seventy-five cents.
Out of the great depression of 1930-31 comes no
greater discovery than that the calibre of the American
people has not disintegrated since the days of the Revo
lution and other periods in the history of this great
country which so indelibly imprinted stern qualities of
character and perseverance in our forefathers.
If the Pennsylvania Railroad was not on a paying
basis would General Atterbury have endeavored to solve
the economic problem by raising his rates, as did our
esteemed Senatorial Committee with the Alaska Rail
road? Not by a jugfull! The General is a practical
man; a builder, not a destroyer.
v ************
More aids for Westward navigation would be the
signal for more splendid yachts, such the the Arminian
of Philadelphia, to cruise the waters of Southwestern
Alaska, a practically unknowfn coastline but one of the
most interesting in the world.
************
Again the Port of Seward is buzzing with maritime
activities, a forerunner of the days to come. Cheerio!
************
Nothing discourages the optimist more than to dis
cover that the pessimist has most of the money.
************
For big men, Alaska has many big opportunities.
