MARINE COWBOYS ARRIVE IN NORTH
 WITH P0VY HERD
CAPTAIN MADSEN AND MOLD TO TAKE PINTO HORSES TO RENAL
 PENINSULA FOR SPORTSMEN

Bound for the Kenai Peninsula of Alaska, big game hunters para disc, Capt. Charles Madsen and Capt. Pete Wold seafaring cowboys, taking with them nine pinto ponies, were due to arrive in Seward to- day from Seattle.
 They came north on the sturdy motorship purchased in Seattle re- gently by Captain Madsen for the Kodiak Guides Association from Alex Hannah and O. E. Nelson. The vessel is now known as the Marg- nita but was given the name of Polar Bear at an interesting cere- mony on the Seattle waterfront.
 The rechristening took place at Pier with Betty Anderson, Seattle singer, as the sponsor. When the schooner Sea Wolf was launched from the shipyards of Ward & Sons in Seattle for Capt. Madsen dur ing the winter of 1908 Betty An derson christened the vessel.
 MADE FINE RECORD
 The Sea Wolf made a fine record as Walrus and polar bear hunter and a trading schooner. Captain Madsen wanted the same good for tune to follow his new craft so Betty Anderson was invited to be the sponsor of. the ceremony. The Sea Wolf was sold by Captain Mad
 "n to the United States Mercan- tile Company of Nome and is still operating in the Far North as a trading and mail vessel.
 Captain Madsen first went to Alaska in 1900. He spent 15 years in the Arctic. He was fur trader for many years before becoming an AL aska guide. He has piloted big game and moving picture expeditions into the wilds of Alaska, has been a game warden, member of the ter ritorial police, is an expert horse man as we'll as one of the best shots with a high-powered rifle in all the northland, and last but not least, is a master mariner. He rides a horse like veteran of the plains and can nurse vessel through the biggest storm that ever swept the Arctic. Captain Madsen was the official guide for the expedition of Baron von Guttman, Austrian nobleman and steel king, when he visited Alaska in 1909.
 WALRUS AND POLAR BEAR
 T used the Sea Wolf in hunting walrus and polar bear in the Arc tic and in trading expeditions to and may put the new ves- sel into the same service some day." said Captain Madsen. But must tell you about the pintos. The little fellows will be used as pack and trail ponies on moose and mountain sheep expeditions on the Kenai Peninsula. They will be put ashore at the mouth of the Kusilof River and sent over the trail to the base of the Kodiak Guides Association on Tustumena Lake in the heart of Peninsula. On our way to the mouth of the Kusilof we will go to Kodiak, where we will take aboard l2 men; including guides, packers, and cooks. Our supplies will be oaded in flat-bottom river boats eq- uipped with 32-horsepower motors
