A Visit On The
M.V. Sailors Splice
We were invited ns guest of Mr.
Willard Baker to look over the
Sailor's Splice,which is one of the
Northland Transportation Com
pany’s ships operating out of
Seattle. We were introduced to
the officers, a list of whom fol
lows:
Captain John J. Varga, Com
mander; Edward J. Burke, 1st
Mate; Lawrence McHugh, 2nd
Mate; Donald A. Thornton. 3rd
Mate; Willard K. Baker. Purser
and Medical Officer; Kjeld Hove.
1 Radio Operator: Frank P. Olden
j burg. Chief Engineer: Frederick
F. Collins. 1st Asst. Engineer:
Otis A. Cunningham, 2nd Asst.
Engineer: A Clark McCullev. 3rd
Asst. Engineer: Jack M. Roper,
steward.
The number of the crew is 30
and the* Master.
We were taken to the lowest
deck where all machines looked
like new. they were kept in such
perfect condition. The floor was
kept in such a condition that one
could eat his meal from it. Clean
lines^ throughout the entire ship
was something that struck us as
beyond comparison with anything
we had seen before, or any other
ship.
The ship was equipped with j
three large generators, each having
| a capacity of 2.70 Kilowatts. There
was a.lso a small generator, fur
nishing l."> Kilowatts. These gen
erators furnish lights and power
i for the operation of the winches.
The main engine is a Nordherg
Disel developing 1700 horsepower.
The crew is supplied with fresh
water through a machine which
converts the salt water into fresh
\
water.
The crew's quarters were neat
and clean and everything was in
order. Gouig to the upper deck
vc were shown the Radar equip
ment and the entire system for
tire operation of the vessel in
foggy and clear weather. All the
equipment was of the latest de
sign.
The Second Mate, Mr. McHugh
gave us a thorough explanation of
the Radar and the other equip
ment. We then adjourned to the
officer's Mess and below is a menu
for the day:
Breakfast: Orange juice, assort
ed dry cereals, grilled ham or ha
eon. jelly omelette, buckwheat
cakes, grapefruit, oatmeal mush,
eggs to order, fried potatoes, dry
toast, coffee, cocoa and milk.
Dinner: Garden radishes, vege
table soup, pork hocks and cab
bage. veal fricassee, tomato ome
lette. buttered parsnips, boiled
potatoes, bread and raisin pud
ding. coffee, tea and buttermilk.
Supper: Sliced tomatoes, grilled
calves liver with onions, creamed
salmon on toast, beef pot pie.
stewed corn, csealloped potatoes,
preserved cherries, coffee tea. and
buttermilk.
Two cooks. who were well
versed in their trade, set before
us a very satisfying meal, through
the good offices of the Mess Boy.
This boy was on his Iocs at till
t imes.
We enjoyed very much our visit
on board this fine ship and carried
away with us a rememberanee of
an afternoon well spent among
those exceptionally efficent offi
cers who were in charge of the
Northland Transportation Company
slvp. the Sailor's Splice.

ships operated by tin* Northern

Barbara LaMarr signed with First

her raise to fame in the past two

In Your Interest |
l R. J. KOCH, President,
I Felt & Tarrant Mfg. Co.,
I Chicago, Illinois, says:
t “Only through regular.
systematic savings can
workers acquire the things they
have always longed for and dream
ed about. Equally important, it
seems to me, is the feeling of sat
isfaction—the peace of mind that
U. S. Savings Bonds provide. A
backlog of Bonds can do wonders
toward dispelling gloom, sleepless
nights and worry about what would
happen to the family should the
breadwinner be thrown temporarily
out of work.”
