Small Craft Makes Fine Trip From
Golden Gate— Killed Two
Whales Last Week.
The smallest independent unit wha
ler. the Gunnar, with Capt. Louis L.
Lane at the helm, arrived in port this
morning from San Francisco, 33 days
out.| The little craft is 40 feet in
length, powered with a 1G h. p. Hicks
marine engine. F. H. Ilansen is en
gineer and Richard Holbrook every- ■
thing else from mate down. The three :
men are the owners of the boat and
are entering into a new business ven
ture in Alaska, that of supplying whale
meat for fox farmers. The Gunnar
will be beached on today’s tide, have j
its bottom scraped, and leave tomor
row for Kodiak, the base port for the '
season’s activities.
Kill Two Whales
Two whales were killed a f. w days
ago in Prince William SCund and di :
posed of to Frank Cunningham and
Green Island Fox Farm. One of the
winks was a ilnbu k. measuring 41
feet long and the other a humpback.
39 feet long. The humpback whale, |
though smaller in size, is a much larg-1
er bodied cetacean, consequently pro- j
duces more flesh and blubber for feed j
than many of the longer whales.
Whale me at is considered the natu
ral food for foxes and ihe^owners of
the new enterprise propose at a later
date to cure whale meat, pack it in j
barrels without salting, in order that j
the small fox farmer, who cannot use j
an entire whale in the raw state, may
purchase whatever quantity he may!
need. The packing of whale meat will
in all probability, be started next sea-;
son, it is stated. The price per bar-1
rel has not been figured out yet but1
it will be lower than any fox feed on ;
the market. Entire whales will be l
sold this season for about §300. This
of course, depends upon the size of
the whale and the distance it must oe
towed.
If only a short distance from the
island where a whale has been sold,
the owners will tow the carcass to the
island, but if it is necessary for sev
eral hours of towing to deliver the
whale, a towing charge will be added.
It is the purpose of the whalers to
have as many as possible of the own
ers to come to the killing grounds and
do their own towing, particularly in
order to keep the price down for the
lu\ larmer.
Meets With Accident.
Capt. Lane met with what might1
have been a serious accident during
the shooting of one of the whales the
other day. A heavier primer than is
ordinarily used proved to be too much
for the breechblock, the discharge
flaring back into his face. First aid
treatment was rendered his wound,
which bled considerably, but is now
healing rapidly.
The harpoon gun on the bow of the
boat is the most modern procurable,
as w'ell as is the other gear necessary
for the industry. The gun is primed
with 32 blank primers. A winch on
the forward deck carries 300 fathoms
or 1800 feet of 3-inch line. This is a
special soft laid Manila rope, said to
be twice as strong as ordinary cable.
The winch is used to “play” the whale,
like a fisherman’s reel hauling in a
trout. The whale is hauled alongside
of the boat where it is inflated thru
an air hose under 50 to 60 pounds
pressure until it resembles a balloon.
This is done as soon as possible to
prevent the carcass from sinking.
Followed Inside Passage.
The trip from ’Frisco to Alaska was
via the inside passage to southeastern
Alaska, head winds prevailing until
they arrived at Ketchikan where a fair
wind was encountered. The whaler
left the Golden Gate on.the morning
of June 7, and coming up the coast,
made equally as fast time as some of
the larger coastwise steamers.
From southeastern Alaska up to
Seward, numerous calls were made on
the trade, taking orders for delivery
this fall. Whaling will continue until
about the first of November from
Cook Inlet to Yakataga, with their
base at Kodiak.

CLARA KIMBALL YOUNG
MUST LIVE ON $100 WEEK
LOS ANGELES, July 9 (JP)—Clara *
Kimball Young must live on $100 per
week as long as she lives in California
or, the courts will appoint a guardian,
it was said today. The reports of her
being robbed of $100,000 worth of
jewels in New York last winter were
untrue, the jewels being paste, the
high value being given for publicity
purposes, according to Mrs. Young.
She stated in court here today that
her liabilities were $7,000 and her as
sets $8, and some clothing, mostly un- j
derwear and stockings. /
