VI. S. SIERRA MOTHER
 SHIP TO TUNA FISHING

The NJ sierra of .he Arctic Transport Company will probably leave San Pedro. California. today, bound on a cruise to the Galapagos Islands. in connection with the tuna fishing industry, according to information received in an Ass )- ciated Press dispatch today, dated Los Angeles. Dee. 31st 10 the Nome Nugget.
 Messrs Ralph and Carl Lomen. president and vice-president re- spectively of the Arctic Transport Company. today announced the birth fo new industrial enter prise for their company on the Pacific Coast. The Sierra which has been undergoing preparations. was scheduled n sail from San Pedro today hound fer the tuna fishing grounds in the neighborhood of the Galapagos islands, d group of isle' lying uu the equator opposite the country of Ecuador in south Am erica The vessel Will serve as the mother ship to Il fleet of small schouners which will carry on the business of catching tuna fish. The Sierra, which has 2S,ooh cubic feet af refrigera'ion will act as the cold storage plant for the smaller vessels which will bring their catches To her and place them in i. cold storage for shi pment back to the United States This is the hrst { venture of this kind to be made in the tuna industry. Heretofore. he , smaller vessels have carried a ship | ment of ice south with them and by the time they reached port with their cargo, about one-ha!t of it was spoiled due To the heat and having ot the fish. Addi- tional equipment has been placed in the Sierra to handle this type of work. The Arctic Transport Co. has been engaged in negotiations for some time arranaing the de tails of such an experiment. and at present they have already con tracted for their first cargo.
 The M s Sierra operated several years ago as q refrigerator vessel for the Lomen Reindeer Corpora- tion in transporting reindeer meat from Alaska to Seattle. where it was distributed throughout the | United States. This vessel will be { the ideal type of boat for the venture in mind.
 With the advent of the Sierra to the south Seas. will be the ad- dition of another enterprise by the Lomens. They have carried on drive to northern waters for food to supply the nation and now they are engaged In like purpose but in far removed section, carrying the house nag thousands of miles to the south to transport fish for the canneries of the United Stat es.
 The Sierra will operate out of San Pedro and will. when her capacity is reached sail from the fishing grounds to her home port and then return again to take on another cargo, Incidently, the Sier- ra. and the S S Baldwin also of the Arctic Transport Co.,. are the two largest refrigerated vessels op- erating coastwise out of Pacific | coast ports. The Sierra is the only 1 one equipped for freezing the fsa at the time they are caught, and transporting in refrigeration.
