Today Albert Thomas, minister of munitions and representative Of the Socialists in the cabinet went to Harfleur and delivered an appeal to the strikers to return to work.

The Captain is accompanied by his wife, the daughter of Dr. J. P.

 The Bleekum left Seattle in tow Cf the fishing boat Progress en route for Seward.

Finally the tow line parted and the two vessels were d,iv- en apart. This was the last seer of
