.CABLEsH|P DELWOOD
 ARRIVES FROM SEATTLE

On mission of inspection of the cable terminal at Seward and making certain changes in landings off Mon tague Island the cableship Delwood docked yesterday evening and spent the day at her moorings.
 The Delwod is under command of Robert w. Shears, master, and sailed direct from Seattle to Seward. Among her personnel are Captain An drews, who relieved Lieutenant Hub bel last year, in charge of the Signal Service, and Henry Winters, cable en- gineer.
 Among the changes announced by MT. Shears is the closing out of the cable office at Valdez, all activities in connection with the cable service now being confined to Seward.
 Aside from an interruption earlier in the year when a whale became en- trapped by the cable off Cape Flat tery, the service has been practically perfect, according to the master of the Delwood.
 Accounting the episode of the whale becoming entrapped by the cable the master of the Delwood confirmed what was at first believed to be a nautical yarn at the time the dispatch was sent out
 Receiving word that the cable was acting queerly we set out to make tests" said MT. Shears. Of Cape Flattery we located the trouble and, following custom, cast out graphing hook and picked up the cable. AS we drew it up to the bows We noticed something entangled in it. On inves- tigation we discovered that the whale, evidently with it's mouth open, had fouled the cable, then taken several twists that wound the cable around it's jaws. It then managed to make hitch around it's tail with the cable, and was as we'll trussed up as if 1t had been done by someone with an idea of capturing the animal. It re- quired some time to cut the leviathan from the coils of the cable and during this time you could cut the atmos- phere with an axe. I have great sym pathy for men working about a whal- ing station after that experience"

INSURANCE MAN FINDS
 INTERIOR LOOk|NC UP

Major Ransom, representing the Occidental Insurance Company, who is in Seward until Sunday when he departs for the South, reports that while in the Interior during the last two weeks he gained very favora- ble impression of business conditions. The enormous work which the Fair banks Exploration Company has und- CT way amazed him and he sees many years of prosperity for Fairbanks and in other Interior communities. Major Ransom set new mark in writing insurance, it is said, writing policies within three weeks time, the amount which ordinarily covers a years effort on the part of sales man. He broke his record set two or three years ago, a record which at that time was given wide prominence in insurance circles throughout the United States. ''It is easy to sell in- surance," Major Ransom said. when you have good company back of you"

AS Time passed WlIIlout WOIu,
even the editor of The Times be-
came worried. What, he thought,
could have happened to the brave
Captain Kleinschmidt and his
party?
Then, with Christmas only a few
weeks away, came the radio from
Holly Berry. Further details
later" Berry added to his announce
ment of the finding of Santa Claus.
And they are expected surely to-
morrow, for Holly Berry is a great
correspondent and his message only
can mean. that he has great deal
to tell indianapolis children through
The Times.
Now, children, here is another
great secret; that is, it was a secret
for we're going to tell you all
about it.
Santa Claus Filmed
Captain Kleinschmidt took with
him motion picture camera and
thousands and thousands of feet of
film.
He was assigned by The Times to
seek Santa Claus right in his home
and workshop and take pictures OF
him in his native haunts.
These pictures were to be sent
right here to Indianapolis and
shown to all the children and
grownups in the city, just as soon
as it possibly could be done.
OF course there is chance that
Santa Claus refused to be photo
Maybe he just shut the ice
block gates to his spacious grounds
in the Northland and put up a sign,
mo visitors allowed" Who can tell?
He'll See Kris
However, Holly Berry, The Times
correspondent, is a mighty good
man and if anyone can
get in to see Santa Claus, he can
So possibly-even by tomorrow-he
may send news Of great interview
with Santa Claus and may let you
know whether the pictures have
been taken.
Captain Kleinschmidt is noted
explorer, well known throughout the
world. He and Mrs. Kleinschmidt
have made many trips to Alaska
and points North and have learned
many things about the Eskimo peo-
pie living up in the land where one
sees only ice and snow the year
around.
1t was while on one of these trips
that the captain heard that Santa
Claus home might be reached if one
took enough food and warm cloth
ing to last many months. He thought
over the possibilities Of the trip and
communicated with the editor Of
The Times early this year.
Watch for the News
eff you will send me on this trip
I will take a motion picture camera
and get as many pictures Of Santa
Claus and his reindeer and the Es-
kimo as can take" said the cap
tain. "Also, will take one of your
men right along, soSthat he can
write of the trip and talk to Santa
Claus right in his own home"
The editor of The Times thought
that was pretty good idea, so the
trip was started.
Now, children, watch for Holly
Berry's next radio message. We hope
to hear from him tomorrow and
everything he sends will appear in
The indianapolis Times.
