EFFICIENT OFFICER
; A small wiry man with a gray
| ing mustache, almost concealed
; under a drooping felt hat and
! ‘gum” slicker, his feet chugg
| ing thru the water incased in
I glistening hip boots, cou’d be
| seen on main street yesterday.
It was Capt. W. C. Ansell, vet
I eran pilot serving as the guid
i ing eye of the U. S. S. Wasmuth.
Captain Ansell has been

| since 1896. As a younger man
jhe served from quartermaster to
! pilot on vessels well known in
! the pioneer days of the North.
The SS Bertha. Portland, Jean
ie, and Alki, familiar names to
I oldtimers, came under his guid
jance. In 1912 he was master of
; the tug Redondo, stationed at
! Kodiak when the Katmai volca
! no belched fire and destruction,
and was highly commended for
his heroic work during that great
eruption. From 1912 to 1916 his
; work was mainly in southeast
ern Alaska piloting vessels en
I gaged in that vicinity.
In 1916 Captain Ansell took
command of the Steamer Holly
wood loading with a cargo of
flour for the French govern
ment at La Pallise, France. On
his return to the United States
he was made Port Captain for
the W. C. Dawson Company in
; which capacity he remained un
til the signing of the Armistice
! when he took command of the
ISteamej. Effingham in the Eur
j opean-Pacific trade. Making
! these voyages an opportunity
| to visit his parents in the Brit
! ish Isles whom he had not seen
j since coming to the United
States as a young man, was af
forded him.
From 1925 to 1927 he was in
| command of the Steamer Perry
L. Smithers of the Booth Fish
! eries Company operating tc
their canneries in Bristol Ba>
and Southwestern Alaska. Ir
1928 he was master of the
Steamer International, a float
ing cannery, operating in Bris
tol Bay. The last two years he
has hfrm engaged as pilot foi
the U. S. Navy ships -s? siting
! Alaskan poTts.
Captain Ansell, who has £
! magnfiicent home on Hoods Ca
nal, near Seattle, but whose wife
| and daughter are now residing
at their Seattle residence, wa:
especially requestd by Nava
Officrs as pilot for the destroy
ers now "visiting here.
Interviewed yesterday, Captah
Ansell said; “I can see ,vno rea
| son why Seward, situated as r
| is, should not be the leading
and largest sea port in Alaska
Seward is the gateway to th<
! great wealth of Alaska.”

SYRACUSE, N. Y., Sept., 2, (/P)—
Col. Walter Bell, World War veter
an, is returning to Russia and will
supervise the central flying system
in Russia. Airplanes will be used
to transport food, he said.

the U. S. Perry, is not only a

l of early Navy days in the far

land iron men. He has difficulty
'adjusting himself to the scheme
of things in connection with the
I modern Navy.

Unga fame, prospected for gold
in the Bristol Bay region for
some years but with little suc
