ALGONQUIN GOBS
PLEASED WITH
CORDOVA
I
*
Dressed in black, except for white
socks and “dickey,” a very large
green-eyed cat stood on the gang
plank of the U. S. S. Algonquin Sat
urday morning, agressively demand
ing in cat language, the pass-word of
an advancing Times reporter. “Rats’!
said the reporter, whereupon Kitty gra
ciously stepped aside. “You needn't
be afraid of him,” spoke one of the
gobs, reassuringly, “he won’t fight
anything but dogs—dogs from the
places we tie up to. We’ve got two
on board here and Tommy just loves
’em, rolls around and plays with ’em,
but he’ll never let any land-lubber
dog across that plank. And my!
don’t he go for the rats! Why, when
we were down in Astoria he nabbed
one nearly as big as himself—one of
these big wharf rats—and just jerked
it up, like that, and broke it’s neck.
He came on board at Plymouth, Eng
land. He’s an English cat, Tom
my is.’’
“I noticed he didn’t sound his h’s,”
I remarked, “but when did this ship
run to England?”
“Oh, that was during the war. She
did convov dutv for the tran snort s’
“Did she ever get into any scraps
with submarines?” I asked scenting a
“story.”
“Well, no,” admitted the gob, re
luctantly,” she didn’t. But she was
right among ’em, all the way. She
carried four four-inch gun's. Now
we-re convoying four six-pounders.”
“What for?”
“To blow up wrecks. I remember
we ran across an old derelict off the
coast of Spain of a Danish schooner
there; she’d been drifting around for
months. We sent her to the bottom.
Gee! Here’s a picture of the freighter
Nishmaha, that S. O. S’d to us one
day last November while we were at
Astoria. We searched 72 hours be
fore we located her off Cape Mears.
Her engines had broken down, so she
was helpless, and you can see how
the water was nearly up to the decks.
There was a heavy sea and she was
headed for the rocks. Here are some
pictures showing us breaking ice in
the Columbia river from Astoria to
Portland, during that cold spell last
November. It was below zero there,
and these ships all froze up and would
have been helpless for two or three
weeks if we had not bucked the ice
and let ’em out.”
“You should have been here last
week,” I said, “to open up Port Val
dez.”
“Well, we’re not ice breaking now,”
he answered. “We were ordered to
I •
Alaska to help fishermen and any
others where the flu was bad. We’ve
been stationed at Yakutat but went
back to Juneau for supplies. That’s a
funny place-Yakutat.”
“It’s a great summer resort,” I said.
“Thousands of visitors congregate
there and set all day long lined up
on the ridge of the cannery roof, like
buttons down a coat. They’re after
the refuse from the cannery, but since
Josephus Daniels didn’t issue gas
t
masks to you, you’d better stay awaj
during the canning season.”
“I’ll bet,” said the gob. “We had a
dance while were there in the main
store. There’s only one white woman
in town.”
“Where’d you get your music?”
“We have our own ship’s band of
six pieces. We have three Hawaiians
who play the guitar. Say, did you
ever see the graveyard at Yakutat?
They put little sheds over the graves,
and some of the funniest things under
em rocking chairs and phonographs
and records, and skillets and Lord
knows what.”
“How long do you stay in Cordova?”
“We leave Tuesday for the Yakutat
fishing beaches. We came here for
fuel oil and water.”
“Have you seen our town?”
Just a little, but I like it better
than Astoria. Nearly all of us gobs
are from the Atlantic coast—never
been to Alaska before. Some theater
you’ve got here! And they say there’s
to be a dance tonight! We’ll all be
on hand, you bet!”
CAPE ST. ELIAS BUOY
IS PICKED UP BY CEDAR
The lighthouse tender Cedar re
covered the bouy which broke away
from Cape St. Elias about six months
ago. The buoy is valued at several
thousand dollars. It was hoped that
it would be in codition to be re
placed, but the Cedar reported that
it would be necessary to take it to
some port where it could be repaired.
Another bouy which broke away
recently from the same moorings has
been reported to be ashore on Mon
tague Island at the entrance to
Prince William sound.
Both bouys drifted in a westerly
direction from Cape S. Elias, but
the latter one apparently took a
more northerly course, only traveling
about half as far as the first one did.
