Westward Mailboat Is
Ordered Back to Port
The Pomare, boat making the ]
westward run to carry mail to ;
remote outposts along the Aleu- ]
tian chain, was stopped near
False Pass on her outbound trip <
last week, on orders from the '
Merchant Marine inspector at '
Juneau. The Coast Guard cutter
Northwind delivered the message
to the Pomare.
Mail picked up for westward
delivery at Seward and Kodiak
was returned to the consigning
postoffices. Freight to be deliv
ered along the chain was stored in
a Kodiak warehouse.
Meanwhile the Pomare was re
turning to Seattle by way of Ju
neau, to discuss her difficutlies
with the Merchant Marine in
spector. The ship allegedly was !
stopped because “work needed to
be done” before she could carry
passengers and freight.
The Pomare is owned by the
Alaska Steamship Company. The
vessel made its first run on the
westward mail route last month.
At that time, the ship ran aground
on Marmot Island, but was re
floated without aid from other
ships.
