BOXER ENDS «,430-MILE TRIP
TO NORTHLAND
-o
After years of Arctic silence, the
iangle of street cars, the purr of
motors, and the rat-a-tat of riveting
machines sounded like music yester
day to a small band of teachers who
arrived from Alaska on the auxiliary
schooner Boxer of the United State}
Bureau of Education.
When, last July, the Boxer tied
uu at the Bell Street Dock, it term
inated a 6,430-mile cruise, which
had taken it to sixteen ports of call
where the U. S. Bureau of Educa
tion operates schools.. Although
the vessel went as far north as St.
Lawrence Island, 140 miles south o?
Nome, it encountered very little Ice
during the voyage, Capt. S. T. L.
Whitlam said. The schooner left
here early in May with government
teaching supplies, and teachers on
board.
Vessel Keturnls Soon
“Alaska has had a very backward
spring and while ice conditions waie
good, the mountains are covere 1
with more snow than usual at thi3
time of the year,” Captain Whitlam
reported.
The vessel reloaded with supplies
immediately and sailed Nort'i ..gain
in a few days.
On the return trip, the 3chooner
wilt carry complete equipment foT
a two-room school and a teaching
skiff The school is to replace one
destroyed at Barrow Point, January
12, by fire
Passenggers Include
Mrs. Grace M. Hall, a teacher at
Nelson Island, and baby, Mrs.
Shrammek will return after putting
her son in school here and Mrs. Hall
will return in a month or six weeks
to Pilot Station, Alaska.
LONDON Punch tells this one:
“Hadn't you better go and tell
your master?” said the motorist to
the farmer’s boy who stood looking
at the load of hay upset in the lane
by a collision.
* 'E knows,” replied the boy.
“Knows? How can he know?”
“ 'Cos 'e's under the ’ay.”
