Fliers Are Returning Todify
Trip To Anchorage from Seward Was
Cold Flying, Says Frank Mur
phy, Seward Mechanic.
“There were but twm lights visible
at Anchorage when we hovered over
it at an elevation of 6000 feet, fol
lowing our flight from Seward, and
1 subsequent arrival at the Inlet me
tropolis, one hour and thirty minutes
out of Seward, but as soon as the
racket from the motor and exhaust
was heard, the street lights were
flashed on, which helped consider
able,” stated Frank Murphy, diminu
f tive automobile mechanic for H. E.
1 Ellsworth’s Buick and Cliev service,
who returned to Seward Monday nite
from Anchorage where he had been
carried to as a passenger on the
Curtis seaplane, last week.
Cold Flying Over Glaciers.
“The glaciers were no bluer than
we were by the time we had flown
over the Skilak and Harding gla
ciers, for the three of us aviators.
Davis, Merrill and myself were lit
erally blue in the face. It was in
the cool of the evening when we
took off from Resurrection bay and
in flying over the land we encoun
tered a strong wind which smote us
in the face,” Mr. Murphy continued.
Us three aviators, ahem! set a
course up Resurrection river to Rus
sian lake, thence across to Skilik
lake, then headed for Possession Pt.,
and lastly, towards Ship Creek, ad
jacent to Anchorage. Yes, yuh bet,
the trip was rather cold, but it was
certainly a beautiful one.”
Gus Gelles, the well known travel
ing salesman, who covers this dis
trict periodically, and who makes his
headquarters at Anchorage, is the
first salesman to call on his trade
via the air in Southwestern Alaska,
according to Murphy. Mr. Gelles
hopped off with the aviators Mon
day bound for Afognak, Kodiak,
and Seldovia, from which latter point
all will fly back to Seward. A stop
will be made at Nuka Bay, where
Pilot Davis will confer with Pete
Sather with respect to making Mr.
Sather’s fox island a gasoline re
fueling station. It is stated this
island is the half-way point to this
flying field, which may be kept up
from this period on, and being situ
ated as it is, is ideally located as a
refilling station. The above men
tioned trip from Seward is estimated
- at 225 miles, one way, or 500 miles
I for the round trip. By alighting at
Nuka Bay, one-half of the trip will
have been made, 125 miles. It is
right in the line of flight with no
necessity of swerving from the regu
lar air line to the Westward. It is
expected the fliers will drop out of
the heavens to the local anchorage
sometime today.
Overhauled Gasboat Is
Pronounced One of Best
Operating Out Local Port
The fastest and commodious gas
boat to make the port of Seward
her headquarters is the “Hazel H”
formerly known as the Orcturus, Cap
tain Hienie Berger. The newly re
named craft has had its old engine
torn out and a new 25-30 Fordson
tractor marine attachment engine in
stalled, capable of making a speed
of over ten miles an hour. Comfort
able accommodations for five people
are arranged in the boat which meas
ures 36 feet in length.
Captain Berger announces his ship
is open for charter, to any point, at
any time. Providing he is not in
port, tied up at the Seward wharf,
a message left at the Northern Bil-1
Hard Parlors will reach him.
