SEWARD DAIRY
PORTUGUESE MAN-OF-WAR
Portuguese man'of'war, a pelagic siphonophore, which means that they are a marine organism
that inhabits midocean in great colonies, and according to the encyclopedia are the Portuguese Are
thusa of the genus Physalia, of the Middle Atlantic. But some form of ocean current or strong
wind has washed them to the Pacific Coast and they are coming ashore in countless millions along
the Grays Harbor beaches. "
Photographs show Portuguese iben-of-war in battle line, close up in the shallow surf, and a
grouping with sea pictures.
The beach from Point Grenville to the Grays Harbor entrance is the scene of the arrival of
great fleets of the pelagic siphonophores with every tide.
... A.*hor* exposure to the wind and sun on the shore dries the physalia, and instead of a jelly
like animal he becomes as dried sea-weed and is blown about and covered by the dry beach sands.
The strange marine visitor is a beautiful deep blue on his under body, which is a large flaring
baseband a top sail that is at an angle to the rest of the body which acts as a sail and maintains
a gliding motion on the surface of the water. The said is transparent and of graceful design.
The largest found are over three inches long and about two inches in width, and in depth
about two and a half inches. *
They appear like jelly-fish, with fine thread-like appendages on their inner structure.

POPULAR MEMBER SIGNAL
CORPS IS TRANSFERRED

duty in Alaska since 1923, departs this
evening for Seattle on the cableship
Dellwood. Mr. Stahl has been assigned
to the Seattle office and will report
for active duty immediately following
his arrival. Orders for his transfer
came rather unexpectedly and for that
reasoii, he has been unable to visit his
many friends in the city and! bid them
goodbye. It is with regret his friends
will hear of his departure for he would
have made a splendid addition to local
social and athletic circles.

which issued hot steam and sulphur
fumes. The “Westward" which lay at
anchor in Crater Harbor on the North
west side of the island, had all her
brass tarnished by these fumes. But of
all the interesting fauna on Bogoslof
the flora is nil. There is neither a
blade of grass, moss nor lichen on the
whole island.
From Bogoslof which the party were
loathe to leave, the yacht sailed for
✓
the Pribilofs visiting in both St.
George and St. Paul Islands. Here the
sealing was in full swing. The party
took moving pictures of the fur seals,
Pribilof foxes, and many kinds of bird
life. While at St. Paul Island, the na
tives made a new ivory find on North
east Point and in the course of a week
dug out over a hundred walrus heads.
Thence to Akutan and Port Holler,
hunting "with cameras in the vicinity
of Herendeen Bay and Bear River.
Then returning by slow stages with
stops at False Pass, Belkofski, and
Long John Lagoon, the yacht arrived
at Korluk on August first.
The first half of August was spent
in cruising and hunting Kodiak and
Afognak Islands, the home of the
“big brownies.” Among the many
bays visited were Larsens Bay, Zachar
Bay, Spiridan Bay, Uganik and Per
enosa Bay. During the latter part of
August the party visited Kachamak
Bay, and obtained both movies and
still pictures of moose, bear, and
mountain sheep. Then as if to give a
thrilling voyage a final thrill, Camp
bell Church Jr., was charged by a bull
moose while taking movies at close
range, but by a combination of quick
action and luck, avoided injury. From
Kachimak Bay the Westward proceed
ed to Seward via Nuka Bay and Mc
Carty Glacier.
