The Alaska fisherman., 1930-07-15

Ketchikan, Alaska,
 May 13, 1880 Hon. Robert P. Lament,
 Secretary of Commerce,
 Washington, C. C.,
 Dear Sir: In Re: O'Mallev's Excuse for not attending Ma tives' meeting to protest hook off rule, July 3, 1929.
 My contention is this: that Henry O'Malley, in line With his long established practice of treating the Natives of Alaska with contempt and refusing to give them a hearing although graciously granting the same to Fig operators, did not wish to attend the meeting of native seiners gathered for the express purpose of conferring With O'Mal]ey one and one-half hours after OMalley left town; that O'Malley deceived the Secretary by saying that he was compelled t. leave Ketchikan when he did because he had to go to Ara0 Creek to inspect the weir arl th.n catch t'.e tide at Wran:yCu NarrOws We charge that Il;;c re; son was a mer-' excuse cOn- cocted after O'Malley saw that his violation of our constitution al rights had aroused the inter- est of his superior.
 I have just received the so- called copy of the log book of the U. s. Bureau of Fisheries vessel "Brant" from June 29th 1929 to Il pm. July 7, 1929, and certified to by E. L. Hunter, Mas ter U. s. F. s. "Brant," this being the boat upon which MT. O'Mal- ley was travelling.
 I cannot believe that this is a COMPLETE copy of the Brant's

of the kind narrated above. What the Indians should have, and are entitled to- is chance to make their living in the regular lines of trade. Under the rule of King OMalley it may soon be
The Alaska fisherman., 1930-07-15

His first course entry after leaving Anan Creek (7 pm. of July 3rd) was 5:43 a.m., July 4th, MitkoH Point, the most norther- ly Point of MitkoH Island, at the upper end of Wrangell NarroWs, a period of 10 and 34 llours
 After this point, please note that the captain again makes his frequent entries of point after point, every few miles.
 OMalley says he had to leave Ketchikan in a hurry to catch the tide at Wrangell NarroWs via Anan Creek. Did Captain Hunt- CT know about this hurry? The captain apparently defending his chief because of the entry "11:00 pm. slow bell awaiting tide" says: "On leaving Ketchikan I estimated about two hours would be required at Anan Creek < x MT. O'Malley being in a hurry stayed about an hour at Anan Creek and as we had good luck with tide and wind it put us about two hours ahead of time I estimated it would be favorable to enter the Narrows."
 Did Captain Hunter learn for the first time at Anan Creek that O'Malley was in a hurry? Apparently so because he now excuses the stay of only 55 min utes by saying that MT. O'Malley was in a hurry whereas Hunter had figured two hours.

log although I am willing to be- lieve that it is CORRECT in what is given therein.
 I cannot believe that Hunter, or any other captain could be as careless in navigating a ship as this log indicates. My belief and conviction is that Capt. Hunter has concealed the facts that would prove that Henry O'M...- talsified when be told the Secre- tary he (O'Malley) could not at tend the meeting Of seiners in ketchikan because he had to go to Anan Creek and thence to catch the tide at Wrangell Nar- rows.
 Allow me to state my reasons for so believing.
 The log is complete, all points involving changes of course be- ing noted, up to Ship Island, 25 knots west of Ketchikan. From Ship Island no entries appear in this purported copy of the log book until the Brant reached An- an Creek at 7.05 p.m., four hours later. Why did the Captain omit lemesurier Pt., on entering Ern- est Sound?
 After the Brant left Anan Creek, what channel did he fol- low? Blake Channel, Zimovia Straits, or back to Clarence Straits?
 When did the Brant enter Wrangell NarroWs?
 Why didn't the captain note the time when he passed Pt. Alexander light to enter the NarrOWS?
 There are 22 lights in Wran- gell Narrows. Why did the cap- tain fail to note any one of them?
