ARNOUT CASTEL ANI) GAS SCHOONER
"NANUK" ARRIVED NOME SUNDAY
FROM SEATTLE—2nd BOAT SEASON
The gas schooner "Nanuk"
captained and owned by Arnout
Castel. arrived at Nome Sunday
from Seattle. The fifty-foot boat
-made the voyage through the in
side passage, stopping at the var
ious towns and cities and thence
out along the Aleutian islands,
through False Pass and up the
northwestern coast of Alaska to
Nome.
Arthur Brooker. “Oosuk" Olson,
Geo.Condell were members of the
expedition which made the voy
age to Nome. The Nanuk. which
incidently. is the second vessel in
these waters to be known by that
name, the other belonging to
Captain Olaf Swenson, left Seat
tle May 17, and arrived at Nome
in 21 days elapsed time. Consid
erable time was lost, said Cap
tain Castel. due to unfavorable
weather and stormy conditions
enroute.
His wife and family are incom
ing passengers aboard the S. S.
Victoria of the Alaska Line, due
to arrive here the latter part of
the week Captain Castel is one
of the foremost Arctic Ocean tra
ders and explorers, having em
barked on various expeditions
since the time of V. StefTansen.
the noted Arctic explorer. Mr.
Castel also was associated in sev
eral expeditions headed by the
late Rauld Amundsen. His know
ledge of the Arctic regions and
the coastline of Alaska from
Nome to Demarkation Point, is
considered to be one of the best
in the land.
Enroute north, the Nanuk pass
ed opposite Nushagak, and there,
said Captain Castel and members
of his crew, was witnessed one
of the most surprising sights of
the entire voyage.
Off Nushagak. beyond the 12
mile limit, could be seen at least
ten or a dozen crab trawlers of
Japan, large. diesel-powered
boats industriously combing the
sea bottoms for Alaska’s famous
crabs, which they can and sell
from Japan as the Geisha Crab.
A short distance from the traw
lers could be seen a large four
masted vessel evidently the big
floating cannery which accom
panies the Japanese crab fisher
men where ever they go,—and
this only a few short miles from
the mainland of Alaska, in the
Bristol Bay section.
No contact was made with
these vessels, they stated. A
quantity of fresh vegetables was
brought as cargo aboard the
Nanuk and a considerable supply
of it was purchased by the A.
Polet Store, where it is now on
sale to the general public.
