August %. 1910

Mr.. F. F. Williamson, cadastral
engineer for the Dept. of the Inter
ior, is now surveying the town sites
of Kodiak and, with great diff
Guilty, laying out streets whose min
imum widths are 80 feet. 1t is GUS
tomary for towns to reserve so feet
for this purpose, but due to ir-
regularity of individual lots and
parcels of land staked here, this
standard width is an impossibility.
However, property owners on Ben
son Avenue have each donated an
additional 10 feet of land from
their holdings and 40-fo0t street
is the result. ed: note: The SUR
veys are STILL being made.)
The ineal distance of the Kodiak
townsite survey will be nearly two
miles, and enclose about 100 acres,
with an additional 470 acres to be
thrown open when the old expert
mental station has been sub-di-
vided.
An interesting fact made known
is, holders of property in town, will
not own their property until they
have paid the fees of the township
trustee for deeds covering same.
Prior occupancy will determine
nearly all property ownerships.

The Mail Must Go Through

into the bowsprit, the part quickly
filled, and sank with its load to
its ocean grave. The dory, righted
from its Tipping over, by the one
man thrown overheard, was again
the means of escape from the sea
for all but the unfortunate two,
some picked upright from the one
end, and the rest clinging, Bob
dry-shod, from the still floating
bow end, until they were helped
aboard the ship in greatest con-
fusion. Much telegraphing, as far
as Washington, D. c., finally per-
mitted landing of the survivors at
Port Bailey.
Again no mail was lost, some
sacks even having floated up out
of the forecastle during the night.
Sometime the next day, returning
to Kodiak ON a boat from Port
Bailey, the still floating part of
the Phyllis S. was picked up as it
came ON the return tide, as we'll as
some scattered sacks of mail re-
leased from their watery ride, emp
tied of its load of mail and freight
and beached just around the south
end of Whale Island as you come
into Whale Pass out of Kupreanof
StraightS. Here the wet mail was
laid out and dried also, and here
today you can still see what re-
mains of the Phyllis S.
A changed man after this ordeal,
Robert paced the floor his eve
nings at home; his hair soon turned
gray. He chartered some small boat
to finish out his contract that year.
1t was only with patience and un-
derstanding, and by pleading at
last, that his wife persuaded him
to again talk with Mr.. Grimes about
a loan for another boat.
Wearily he went through the mo-
tions of securing one. A sturdy
purse-seiner, the Shuyak, diesel
powered, was for sale at the Nellie
Juan cannery in Prince William
Sound, just the size he could use
All arrangements made, he brought
her up to Kodiak, and from June

most anything as necessity, or
means, allowed; of the always
CHEEKY shout of the children at
first glimpse, or sound if its motor,
"Mailboat!" The clambering aboard
for the exciting handouts, always
was a special joy to him. Among
the many passengers he carried for

Romance OF The Sea Set Course
Of Life Of Capt. Robert Won ScheeIe

it not the trusty, beautiful hull a
grand-uncle had built of fine sea-
soned fir, with keel and ribs of the
tough spruce of the islands, which
had withstood numberless forced
beachings both at the village in
sudden northeasters and at Back
Bay in northwesters in freezing
cold and laundering surf on the
easy sandbeaches there? Easter
lies, weSterlies, northeasters, SOU
westers- the Ruff Rider ran before
them all. And the years developed
fine weather-eye for Robert.
The time came when the other
villages and the canneries needed
regular mail service. The Ruff
Rider could do it, but it wasn't big
enough. Bob, as he came to be
called, or Angun-Old Manly his
many friends in the villages,
bought the Charlotte B. easily
twice the size of the good old Ruff
Rider. A very comfortable boat,
besides being entirely adequate as
a carrier, the Charlotte B. gave fine
service for the three or four years
he had it until it struck a reef in
Geese Channel in a fog by mis-
calculation on the part of the man
at the wheel when Bob had turned
in for a wink before bringing her
in among the lights and rocks near
Kodiak, strong wind and the tide
bearing it off course while steer
ing by the compass. Hitting at high
water, with a minus run-oEt follow
ing, bowling storm the next day
swung her over from side to side
in the swells so that the valiant
Charlotte was left a total wreck,
passengers, mail and freight all
safely off Immediately after strik-
ing.
Weathered in full week, owner,
crew and passengers, with mail and
freight, continued to their several
destinations before Robert went
about to charter the Phyllis S. from
o. L. Grimes at Uzinkie. A cannery
tender of moderate size, this boat
made the next trip in scheduled
time, but the very next trip, on a
calm December afternoon, the
Christmas mail and a deck-load of
Christmas trees newly cut at Chad
rick for the Island families, nine
passengers enjoying the most
pleasant of going, half
hours run to Port Bailey from
Harry Howe's mill on Raspberry
Island, U. S. destroyer, by some
unbelievable freak coincidence,
plowed right Through the little
boat, cutting her clean in half.
The first anyone on board the
Phyllis S. knew of the large vessel
was upon impact, when it went into
full reverse, No one had happened
to look backward, Tom at the wheel
disdainfully pronouncing with sea-
manly establishment that at sea
the man behind slows down for
anything passing ahead. The stern
end was afloat, as was also the bow
end, with a little girl and her grand
mother who had been sleeping in a
forecastle bunk. Bob had been eat
ing his supper below and in flash
was up on deck with child in
each arm while the mother reached
another up out of the skylight from
which she herself was then hauled
out with some difficulty.
AT this point the ships COM
mander gave the orders for the two
or three mine -sweepers in the vi
cinity, steaming alongside to give
a hand, Ito hold off when, as was
their intention, they could have
towed both parts ashore, the bow
end now nose upward out of the
water. Hooking onto this and do

of local friends along on a special
duck hunt not long since, had Pau
Bond make a large painting of the
Shuyak and gave it to him as thanks
for their good time together.
AS he had battled with the ele-
ments on the sea, SO he had to bat
tie in leaving this earthly scene,
greeting at last, with serene smiles,
what his spirit saw, far removed
from any consciousness of the dear
est ties of love with which he was
surrounded. When he knew his end
was very near he told his wife to
bury him there where he was in
Seattle, hoping for help from cures
he'd too long postponed seeking.
But this seemed cold and cruel in
the knowledge of his hearts pref
erence for his home, and he was
lovingly laid to rest under the deep,
green moss i'm Kodiak's new GENE
terry in a beautiful wood. Now this
that another Robert, familiar to
so many of us from the time we
could first enjoy listening to a
poem-Robert Louis Stevenson
wrote for his own epitaph, seems
to be very appropriate also for
our own Bob:
Here he lies where he longed to be;
Home is the sailor, home from
sea,
And the hunter home from the hill.
