SEATTLE, Oct. 4. (/P) — The
Sophie Christenson, a picturesque
four-masted schooner which still
holds the codfish-catch record of
-155,000 fish set in 1933, is retiring
from the sealanes.
The vessel has been placed on
sale for $3,500 by its owner Capt. i
J. E. Shields, who expressed hope
it would be purchased for hous-!
ing. “She’s 190 feet long, with I
enonugh deck space for a back
yard and plenty of room for living !
quarters.”
Requisitioned by the govern
ment during the war for use as a
troop ship in the Aleutian islands,
the Sophie now is tied up, her
masts gone and her decks littered
with abandoned gear.

FREQUENT SERVICE
Greyhound and connecting carriers have led the way in establishing
the now taken-for-granted convenience of frequent daily bus
schedules. For instance, daily bus schedules from Seattle include:
* 22 trips to Portland * 18 trips to California
+ 8 trips to all the East
You can go when you want to, where you want to, by Greyhound.
That gives you frequency of service with dependability.

The Sophie attracted nation
wide attention in 1938 during the
‘‘one-mar war” in the far north.
Captain Shields radioed for rifles
and ammunition to protect Amer-!
ica fishing interests in Alaskan
waters from Japanese poachers.
The Jap fishermen intercepted
the captain’s message, upped an
chor and fled back to Japan. The
captain then messaged:
"Hurrah! Hurrah! All Japanese
boats out of Bering Sea. Rifles no
longer needed.”

of Paris.
