THE NORTHWEST PASSAGE
For several centuries it was the object and heart’s
desire of those ancient mariners who made the map of
the New World to find that famed “Northwest Pas
sage’’ through the North American continent for a
shorter route to the fabled lands of India. Long after
Henry Hudson and his brave crew had perished in the
icey waters of Hudson Bay or on the bleak shores there
of, such a passage was finally forced thru but it was
not such a route as modern mariners care to traverse.
Today there is a cry for another Northwest Passage
for a safer route to the Orient but this time it is a pas
sage of the air and Seward, Kodiak and Dutch Harbor
lie directly in its path.
The advance of air travel is so rapid that great
changes are apparant overnight. Regular service to
Southeastern Alaska is already established and a like
service between Seattle and this part of the Territory
is doubtless a matter of months, if not weeks.
This too, is but another step to be followed by a still
greater stride when great ships of the air and sea will
pause here to refuel while on their way in regular ser
vice between Japan and the United States.
These are no longer dreams of the Jules Verne or
figments of the imagination. They are sure develop
ments of the immediate future and Seward must not be
found wanting.

CIJTTKR OFFER MADE
“At 2:30 p. m. we were underwaj
for Seward. To a message froir
Capt. C. S. Cochran, commandanl
of the Bering Sea patrol U. S. Coast
Guard, Unalaska, saying that he
could send the cutter Unalga to the
(assistance of the Aleutian’s surviv
ors by Tuesday, or the Chelan, his
| own ship, by Thursday, I replied
that all of the 114 survivors were
aboard the Surveyor and bound for
Seward.
“The officers of the Surveyor
pursuaded the women to use theii
staterooms, and I endeavored to in
duce Captain Nord to take posses
sion of my quarters but he stoutly
refused to put any of us to the least
inconvenience for his own com
fort.”
CHARTED LAST IN 1907
Captain Lukens, who has been In
charge of charting the waters oi
(Southwestern Alaska for the last
three years, said that apparantty
the Aleutian struck a pinnacle rock
which couid only be located oy
means of a drag line. Uyak Bay he
said, was charted in 1907.
MISSED SCHOONER
The aleiuian had discharged a
crew of cannery workers at Larsons
Bay, and endeavors were being
.made to locate the fishing schooner
Esther for whom several tons of
(freight were also being carried,
i Upon being informed that the Es
ither was well up into Uyak Bay,
Captain Nord protestingly gave or
11ers tc proceed to find the craft
I Nine men in the lower hold of the
ship who had been sent down tc
handle the Esther’s freight, nar
rowly escaped being trapped in the
nold, when the last man came up a
minute before the ship struck.
Almost perfect calmness prevail
ed among the passengers and crew,
who didn’t seem to realize that the
vessel was going to disappear in less
(than 10 minutes. There was no ex
plosion nor did the ship roll over,
but every man found his post with
out confusion just before the bow
started to plung.
RECEIVED SLIGHT INJURIES
Mrs J. H. Flickinger was assisted
hr to a life boat by her husband,
.ocal agent for the Alaska Steam
ship Cc., here and Mrs. Charles C.
jWeybrecht, widow of Col. Wey
brecht, world war veteran, sustain
ed minor injuries as she scrambled
jwver the rail into a life boat. The
| women scarcely had time to throw
i overcoats over their night gowns
(before taking to the boats.
So rapidly was the Aleutian sink

said to have been at the wheel
