CONTENTION OF
YOUNG IRISH
TENOR FUTILE
- I
NEW YORK, June 24 (by Associ-'
atecl Press).—Francis O’Brien, a youngj
stripling famous on Ellis Island as a'
stowaway and as a tenor of promise,
who is now on the high seas on his
his return voyage to Ireland, is a
living proof that a birth certificate
may sometimes prove an essential doc
ument in the pursuit of a career as a
singer.
Were it not for his lack of such a
document as proof of his contention
that he was born in Philadelphia and
that his parents took him to Ireland
when he was four years old, young
O’Brien might now be winning the
hearts of American music lovers, as
did John McCormack, the emulation of
whose career led the lad to secrete
himself on an American-bound vessel
some weeks ago.
Instead, immigration officials, who
have only cold legal instructions to
guide them in making decisions, saw
fit to place him on an outgoing ship
and let him try to establish the essen
tial facts concerning his birth after
his return. O’Brien, however, dis
paired of being able to prove much
about his origin, because his father
and mother are both dead and he has
no relatives in Ireland.
The young tenor’s fame as a singer
probably would never have started to
spread had it not been for a slight
illness contracted on Ellis Island, caus
ing him to be placed in the hospital
for treatment. The nurses there be
came enchanted with his singing, and
before he was deported he was giving
•concerts for the other inmates of the
hospital as wrell as for the inhabitants
of the island generally. As a result
O’Brien’s name today is on the lips
of all Ellis Island. The hospital at
tendants were calling his name with
tender eulogy and expressing extreme
sorrow that he had to go back.
O’Brien is only one of hundreds of
such cases that are sent back to their
original place of embarkation every
month. There are fifty stowaways on
the island now awaiting orders to go
back, never having seen more of New
York than its enchanting skyline.
Every incoming ship from no matter
what port, according to immigration
officials, brings from two to ten stow
aways, and almost all of them have
a fruitless voyage to this country.
WHALING CONTINUES AS
VALUABLE INDUSTRY IN
WATERS OF ALASKA
Despite the tremendous decadence
of whaling in Alaska waters during
recent years, the industry is still a
highly productive one under the mod
ernized method known as short whal
ing. The picturesque whaling argosies
no longer scour the seas; the old ro
mance has departed along with the
rakish, dingy craft and their motley
crews, but that the whaling business
is still a highly valuable industry, is
indicated by the recent announce
ment that the three shore whaling sta
tions operated at various points on
the Alaska coast during 1917 and 1918
yielded collectively products valued
at $834,127 in the latter year.
As one of the stations took only the
white or beluga whale and utilized
only the hides, its returns were com
paratively slight as compared to the
others, which not only utilized the oil
and hides, but also shipped the meat
in a frozen state. One of the latter
stations was located at Port Arm
strong in Southeastern Alaska, and
another at Akutan, on the Aleutian
islands. The white whale station was
situated on the Beluga river in Cen
tral Alaska.
Frozen whale meat was shipped to
the States by the stations amounting
to $148,000 pounds and valued at
$7,400 during 1918, while the hides,
bone and other products brought the
total returns to $834,127. This was
an increase of $179,255 over the pre
ceding year. The number of whales
taken was 448, or 25 more than in 1917.
There were 325 persons employed in
the industry, 63 more than in 1917.
