Capt. Warmer was in command OF
the old lighthouse tender Kukui for
three years and when this vessel was
transferred to the Pacific Northwest
coast OF the mainland, Capt. War

himself and his crew to the Columbinc

a year ago.
He gives much credit to the Navajo
for having so successfully towed the

the ship would have been lost. and

to save the British bark from four
