UNALGA COALING
 UP BEFORE START .
 OF RETURN TRIP

A radio message received by q wife of one of the officers on the Unalga, now at Cordova, stated the ship Is to coal up at that port be- fore returning to her headquarters here A great deal of speculation is going on by the members of the cutters crew who were left be- hind when the ship sailed on Christmas Eve, as to how long il will be before the vessel returns home.
 The gas boat Cascade, which left Gordova two weeks ago enroute to Seattle was to have called at Ju- neau on her way south, but to date has not reported. Some anxiety is being shown by authorities re- garding the safety of the small boat and the seven men aboard. and by some it is now held the Unalga will conduct a search for the vessel before returning to Ju- neau.
 The cutter Unalga left Juneau at l o'clock Christmas morning to rush to the aid of the tug Roose- velt, which had lost the steamer Starr from tow in the Gulf of Alaska. When the Unalga ar rived at the scene the Roosevelt had been lowed into Latouche by the halibut boat Attn. The Starr, which was anchored was taken in tow by the Unalga and lowed to Cordova where the cutter now is.

noyation that is playing a big part n making sea and air travel more safe. The summer just passed wit messed the beacon put to tests where failure meant possible dea'.aa when the Army ayiat9rs Schlee md Bronle utilized the rays of the peason 10 guide them b the Ha- waiian Islands. About week later several of the Dole fliors re lied upon the beacon from the time they left Oakland until they land ed safe on the Islands.
 There are now two Radio beacon stations on the Alaskan coa 1 which with the several compass stations have greatly reduced the hazards of vessels striking the numerous reefs and also losing valuable time by being unable to determine their position in the fog and during cloudy weather.
 Replacing the old style mag netic compass, the cutter Unalga has been using for some time, the Sperry Gyroscopie Compass that is not affected by variation nor deyla- ton and instead of relying on the ealth's magnetic forces, derives it's dlrectional powers from the TO- tation Of the earth. There is $ master compass located in the bridge house. This compass, through electrical impulses. trans- mits the true direction to the re- peater eompasses located on the bridge wings and to the large main compass in the wheel house. The instrument does not require the attention of anyone other than the turning on of the current before the ship sails.

NEW DEVICES AID NAVIGATION IN
 ALASKAN WATERS

A great many of the hazards Of navigation that were a few years ago incident to the outside and coastwise shipping in Al Ia k waters, are now nearly a thing oi the past. Many new devices have been placed in successful operation during the past few years, that range from costly, powerful radio direction apparatus to a new type of tiny lens for the small, un- watched buoys that mark the in side channels.
 The Department of Commerce and i h e Bureau of Lighthouses have at all times a corps of skilled mechanics at work trying and test ing new devises and aids b the present devices that will enlarge the score cf usefulness Of tle in strumcNts that navigators rely up- on. With the installation and ap- plication of these devices the coast of Alaska is becoming each year more safe along with the other waterways that are under the su- peryision of the United States gov ernment.
 In the years since the World War the science Of electricity has played a major part in contribut- ing many new aids to the seamen. It is new possible, by the use of C device called "Iron Mike to keeI 10,000-ton ocean liner on her course without the steersman once touching the wheel. The instru- ment is automatic in operation and cuts down to near zero the error of a ship getting off her coHfse The course of the vessel is laid out and set on the dials oi the "Mike" and the instrument re- mains fixed until the set course is altered. Many of the instruments have been installed on large ships and the old time shippers are slowly beginning to rely upon them
 The practical usefulness of the radio compas as a navigation aid was demonstrated December 26 when the Coast Guard Cutter Unal- ga was directed by the steamer Northwestern through a sno W storm to the disabled tug Roose- welt, that had lost the helpless Starr when the tow line parted the day before. The radio operator On the Unalga periodically sent out requests for the ships position These messages were checked and the direction from W h h they came noted by the operator on the Northwestern. This is accomplish ed by rotating the Radio Compas proper. and noting it's position when the signals are loudest. The sending process was then reversed with the Northwestern operator asking for the Unalga's position which is in turn checked and the direction noted when the loudest signals are received. The compass bearings were then exchanged be tween the two ships and by q simple formula of triangulation tho exact position of both vessels was obtained and the officers of tho ctf4er were enabled to steer di. rectly to the spot.
 The radio compass is but one ol the recent aids that are booI not only to the sea navigator bu to the airplane pilot as well. Tho radio beacon Is another recent in
