FOREST PRIDE ALREADY
 IS FAMED AS BARKENTINE

A recent Seattle Post-Intelligen- cer has the following to say re- garding the Forest Pride which is being lowed north to assist in raising the Islander wreck:
 Landlocked in a fresh water lake for five long years, the Forest Pride, five -masted barkentine, once the queen of the North Pacific Australian fleet of white winged carriers, is again to lift her prov to the urge of briny combers while her shrouds and rigging thrill to the drive of ocean gales.
 This was revealed yesterday when negotiations were completed for the sale of the windjammer by the Lake Union Dry Dock and Marine Works to Curtis Brothers, we'll known maritime salvage firm.
 The vessel while returning to active service, will be shorn of her stately masts and snowy sails and will be operated as a barge. But romance win still sling to her in her new pursuits for she is to be used to aid in floating the famous gold ship Islander that sank in Stephens Passage with all hands and millions in gold during the gold rush days. She is to be lowed north in about two weeks
 "A Sweet Safer
 Drydocked for inspection yester- day at the Lake Union plant mar inc men who saw her lines in all their molded beauty could under stand why mariners called her a sweet sailer."
 Born during war time at the plant of the Grays Harbor Motor ship Corporation at Aberdeen, the Forest Pride was one of three wooden sister barkentines complet- ed and given to the sea. Of the others, one, the Forest Dream may be still under sail, having been sold to Swedish owners and reputedly still in active service.
 The other, the Forest Friend was sold to a Vancouver firm and has been operated as a fishing barge.
 A fourth, the Forest Lymph was set up and about half com pleted and later wrecked in the stocks.
