IMPROVING FLEET
OF ALASKA S. S. CO.
The freighter Seward, belonging to
the Alaska Steamship Company, has
recently come off the dry docks.
There was a big demand for this and
other large freighters for charter in
the trans-Paciflc trade, but owing to
increased activity in Alaska, it may be
that all of the vessels of the company
will be needed to handle that busi
ness.
The new steamship iledondo has just
completed her first round trip to Al
aska, going into Bering Sea for the
purpose of taking supplies to the
new cannery being established there
in Nelson Lagoon, by the Pacific Am
erican Fisheries Company. The trip
was very successful, and she was un
der the command of Capt. Jerry Flynn.
The Redondo by this trip established
a new record in being the first steam
ship to enter Bering Sea at such an
early date, the month of May here
tofore being the earliest in which a
vessel has entered these waters. The
Redondo has proved a great success
and will fit in very nicely for the sum
mer campaign. Just as soon as the
rush is over the Cordova and the Re
dondo will be built up with flush deck
similar to the work completed last
year on the Seward and Latouche.
This work will greatly increase the,
under deck cargo space. The work
will be completed next fall.
The steamship Victoria will be on
her regular run to Nome during the ^
summer. The Cordova will be dls I
patched to Kotzebue Sound and the
Latouche to St. Michael.
ROMANTIC WEDDING
ENDS IN DIVORCE
A romantic marriage on the high
seas, following an equally romantic
wooing of eight days duration, was
dissolved at Seattle In the superior
oourfr, when Judge Katston granted
Mrs. Dorothy Esmond, or Nome, a de
cree of divorce from l)r. Henry Es
mond, of Seattle.
Mrs. Esmond met the doctor on
board the steamer Senator while she
was on her way to Nome. The doc
tor told her he was the son of a Hin
du princess and the Earl of Powes,
of England, says Mrs. Esmond in her
complaint. On November 2, 1913.
eight days after the couple had first
met, the captain of the Senator made
them man and wife, just as the ves
sel was dropping anchor off Nome.
Dr, Esmond was on his way ta the
Pribilof islands to take a position un
der the United States government.
Among other things, said Mrs. Es
modn, he told tier he had been deco
rated with the Victoria cross for gal
lantry in service with the British ar
my.
After they had been married n
short time Mrs. Esmond says she dis
covered thut tier husband had only
j been a gardener in the employ of
» the Earl of Powes.

J. A. Moore, special agent of the
United States land office, who was re
cently in Cordova for about a week,
is now at Anchorage, representing the
department there. Lleuteant Mears,
Mears, of the Alaska Engineering
Commissaion, is quoted as saying some
time ago that he would have to await
the action of the land department be
fore deciding on action with respect
to tlie location of the squatters over
there, and it is now to he assumed that
Mr. Moore himself declares that all!
he knows is that he has been sent
to look into conditions and will be
guided by directions from the depart
ment. At present he knows of no
business that he will be asked to trans
act around that immediate neighbor
hood and his attention will probably
r
be devoted entirely to the country at
the head of Cook Inlet. Mr. Moore
Is attached to the land office at June

IS ALMOST NEGLIGIBLE
<
The list of arrivals and sailings of
overseas steamers (over 300 tons net)
of all nationalities at United Kingdom
ports from December 31, 1914, to Mar.
17, 1915, shows that the risks from
the submarine and mine are very
small, amounting to about one-sixth
of one per cent of the total.
There were 8,220 arrivals and 7.
629 sailings, with a total of 30 British
merchant vessels torpedoed, includ
ing three uot sunk. The loss of lives
was 76.
