The fine schooner Daily. Capt.
C. Role, which last week brought
In about 37.00Q pounds of halibut
and seeing same to the San Juan
Fishing & Packing Cmpany, will
depart shortly for Dutch Harbor
near which port the vessel has
been fishing.
The finest kind of halubit are
said to be in those waters though
the recent fogs have been a great
detriment in navigating as well
as sailing by the charts made
years ago by the Russians.
The Daily was the first boat up
this year and the present West
ward fishing is her first time out
that way.

CHAS. LECHNER
Amidst a lovely bower of floral !
offerings, last tender marks of |
love and respect from her many |
friends, a large number of whom
were in attendance, a solemn but
very beautiful funeral service was j
held Saturday morning in the
chapel of the Seward Funeral
Parlor, for Mrs. E. J. Griffin, of
Kodiak, who passed away last
week following a sudden illness.
Mrs. Griffin had been a resi
dent of Alaska for many years
having made her home in Chena,
near Fairbanks, where the Griffin
mercantile business was one of
the leading establishments. In
recent years, Mr. and Mrs. Griffin
had made their home at Kodiak
where Mr. Griffin is manager of
the W. J. Erskine Company.
Reverend E. E. Reisner, of the
Community Church, officiated at
the service which opened with,
“I am the resurrection and the life,
saith the Lord: He that believeth
in Me, though he were dead, yet
shall he live, and whosoever liveth
and beleiveth in Me, shall never
die.”
Read Psalms 90. Esaiah 43: 1-3
: Isaiah 26: 3. Revelation 14: 13.
Psalms 23: 4.
| Ritualistic Prayer: ‘‘Our Father
;in Heaven, whosie pity is infinite
■and whose will is sovereign; be
I pleased to look down upon our sor
row, and for the sake of Thy dear
Son, enable us to hear Thy Holy
^Vord, that through patience and
'comfort of the scriptures we may
I have hope, and grant us the conso
lation of Thy Holy Spirit, that we,
humbly acknowledging our many
'sins, may neverthe less hold fast
;the assurance of Thy mercy and the
blessed hope of everlasting life,
'through Him who died and rose
again and ever liveth with Thee,
ever Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen”.
Two of the poems quoted by
Reverend Reisner were:
i “We know not where they tarry
who have died;
The gate wherein they entered is
made fast,
No living mortal hath seen one
who passed
Hither, from out the darkness
deep and wide.
We lean on Faith; and some less
wise have cried;
‘Behold the butterfly, the seed
that’s cast!’
Vain hops that fall like flowers
before the blast!
What man can look on Death un
terrified?
Who love can never die! They
are part
! Of all that lives beneath the
summer sky;
j With the world’s living soul their
souls are one;
j Nor shall they in vast nature be
undone
! And lost in the general life. Each
seperate heart
'■ Shall live, and find its own, and
never die”
(By Richard Watson Gilder)
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me.
j And may there be no moaning of
the bar
i When I put out to sea.
j “But such a tide as moving seems
asleep,
Too full for sound or foam,
j When that which draw from out
the boundless deep.
Turns again home.
“Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark,
And may there be no sadness of
farewell,
When I embark. #
“For though from out our bourne
of time and place
The flood may bear me far;
I hope to see my Pilot face to
face,
, When I have crossed the bar.”
i By Alfred Tennyson)
!
! Closing remarks: “May we have
so lived that we will not need to
fear death, but welcome it, as at
evening our bed and lie down to
k~ '7“T 7 f " *■ f
pleasant dreams. And may we j
awake to hear Him say, “Well done, .1
enter into the joy of Thy Lord”. i
Th impressive service closed with ;
expemoranious prayer for the com- 1
fort of the bereaved friends and i
loved ones. !
Interment was made in a care-;i
fully selected plot in the Seward'
Cemetery.
