He knows Alaskan waters ...
And almost everybody in Alaska knows
Captain Joseph Ramsauer, master of the S.S.
Baranof. He is typical of the men to whom the
Alaska Steamship Company entrusts the opera
tion of its vessels.
Captain Ramsauer has been going to sea
« • * >
since he was fourteen. In 1914, he became a
third officer for the Alaska Steamship Com
pany. Within seven years he received his mas
tcr’s papers and in 1937 was appointed captain
of the Baranof.
During his 3 S years with The Alaska Line,
he has learned to know Alaskan waters as well
as you know your own living-room.
With experienced officers like Captain Ram
sauer in command of its ships, the Alaska
Steamship Company has built confidence in
its service to the territory.

The $15,000,000 estimate of
damage was made last night by
Charles W. Bryant, state director
of civil defense. He conducted a
telephonic survey of eight cities
which reported roughly $6,400,000
in damages to buildings, power
systems, water supplies, etc. Bry
ant said that by the time he re
ceived figures from seven other
quake-rocked cities he felt the
$15,000,00 figure would be reach

Railroad bridge engineers were
faced with one quirk of the quake.
The Northern Pacific span
across the Duwamish, River was
jarred six inches too short on one
side and six inches too long on the
other. Thus it can not be closed. A
nearby vehicular drawbridge was
jammed shut by the quake, and
