vessel was in Seward last week of
currency totaling between $1,000
and $500. and a roll of dimes. The
robbery was discovered at $50 in
the morning when one of the off
GERS discovered the safe door ajar.
The junior officer of marines was
called and investigation revealed
that the safe had been entered by
someone knowing the combination.
Deputy [. S. Marshal Smith was
notified and he had fingerprints ia
ken and sent to Washington, D. c.,
for Identification. Location of the
safe in a small hallway, surround
er by sleeping quarters, leads to the
belief that more than one man was
implicated as the situation points to
the need of a lookout to carry on
the job.
