SIX KNOTS
KODIAK, May 26. (/P)—The her
oic battle of a 85 foot blue whale
which lasted frcm 10 a. m. to 7
p. m., during which the leviathan
towed the whaling ship at a
speed of six nots is reported by
:he crew of the whaler Tanginak,
ef the American Pacific Whaling
Company operating out of Port
Hobron.
The ship is commanded by Capt.
Murry. Gunner Christ Olson shot
the harpoon into the whale but
did not hit a vital spot but suf
ficient to hold the whale with
the ship in tow. :
The whale towed the ship thru
the smothering spray which it
raised in its mad attempts to se
cure freedom. The ropes smokd
and th rigging of th ship threa
ened to break before the struggle
was over and the whale settled
down to a battle of endurance, j
The line was never slackened,
hut as the crew said, they hauled
in on the line and the whalers
pulled up on the prey and manag
ed to fire the second shot. The se
cond shot also failed to stop
'he whale but the third ended
le contest after many hours of
attle with the whale.
The crew won a bonus when an
ighteen-foot unborn baby whale
is found in the body.
The three whaling vessels of the
npany have captured 33 whales
ice the first of the month. The
nales are nearly all humpies.

MAY BE DELAY

NEW YORK, May 26, (^—The
American Merchant Maiine. in less
than 10 years, will grace the seven
seas as in days of yore when grace
ful American clipper ships, their
sails flying, were gently wafted in
and out of every harbor in the
world.
This glimpse into the future was
seen when the S. S. Santa Clara,
soon to make her maiden voyage,
made her delivery trip from the
shipyards at Camden, N. J., to her
pier in New York. On board the
brand new luxurious ship were
government, officials connected
with marine matters, South Amer
ican diplomats and business execu
tives prominent in the shipping
industry.
These men were firm in their
faith, intent in their belief that in
less than 10 years the American
Merchant Marine will equal, if not
surpass, other merchant marines
of the world.
Miss Willa Lindsey of Tacoma,
who arrived on the S. S- Yukon, is
a house guest of Mr. and Mrs. W.

of the Transportation Department
of the Chicago Milwaukee & St.

WAS CHAMPION FOR LEAGUE
NATONS AS INSTRUMENT
WORLD-WIDE PEACE
LONDON, May 26. (/P) —The
Most Rev. Dr. Randall Thomas
Davidson, Archbishop of Canter
bury and Primate of England
died here yesterday.
Davidson was born April 7,
1848 and guided the church of |
England through one of the most'
difficult periods in history.
As Primate of All England, the
venerable archbishop, affection-!
ately called the ‘-‘Grand Old Gen
tleman” of the Church of Eng- j
land, had been the balance be-!
tween the two forces of the!
church, one moving toward mod- j
ernism, the other clinging to the
wealth of ritual and ceremony of
the past.
One of the chief characteristics
of the Archbishop was his faculty
for charity and peace on a world
wide scale. Several years after the
war he was caustically criticized
in England for his letter in sup
port of a fund being raised for
impoverished university students
of Germany and Austria. He was
a supporter of the League of Na
tions as an instrument of world
peace, and delivered a sermon to
the Assembly of the League in
1922.
The Archbishop was an admirer
of America’s prohibition. In a
speech at Bromley he said: “It is
an experiment that must have an
effect on the whole world; it is
an object lesson in the truest
sense of a nation’s effort to meet
o. great evil, which all should take
care to note.”
