Paul Bates Says Business Is
Here for New Schooner.
EXPERTS APPROVE PLANS
COiiverlcd Shipping; Board Hull Is
Declared to Be Ideal Type of
Vessel for Lumber Trade.
The big steam lumber schooner
which the Coast Shipbuilding com
pany is about to make out of a Fer
ris hull Just purchased from the ship
ping board cannot possibly avoid
earning: money for the owners. This
is the emphatic word of Paul Bates,
who says he knows and points to a
lorig1 list of profit-earning: ships in
hlch he is interested.
Regarding: the discussion In marine
circles, Mr. Bates challenges anybody
to show him one single good, sound,
tenable reason why this schooner can
not make money from the start.
The Sudden & Christian and Hanify
people have seen plans of the new
carrier and pronounced them good.
Now come two calls from San Fran
cisco for the plans on which the new
Portland converted craft are to be
modeled.
Fault of Others Shown.
The McCargar, Bates & Livley
partner cares naught for the fact that
other craft of different types failed
to earn fortunes carrying' ties.
' "None of the wood ships built by
the emergency fleet corporation are
KUitable in their present design for
profitably carrying lumber under gen
eral competitive conditions, '' Mr. Bates
declared yesterday. "But the remod
eled freehold ship that the Coast
Shipbuilding company proposes to
make out of the Ferris hull will be
JC!"- "M' "
for this business, and will carry .
larger cargoes than some larger
schooners which now are earning
money, and will do it at less expense.
"That's why I'm putting my money
Into this enterprise.
BufljnrSM In nt Hand.
"Furthermore, with lumbal- and
shipping conditions as they are today
and will be for a long time to come,
J defy any business man or anyone
else to show any good reason why
tiiis schooner cannot make money as
long as any lumber carrier afloat.
'And one more thing. A vessel of
this size can and will make frequent
and profitable calls at ports where
larger steamers rannot and will not
call. I'm interested in enough of them
to know.
"Tho ship is here. The business is
begging.
"All that is needed for good returns
are honest and competent and con
servative management. The company
which is, to operate the vessel has
that kind of a record and reputation."
Mr. Bates fairly snorted at mention
of some prominent business men who
were unwilling to put money in
Ooden ships. "This type of schooner
will pay for itself before they could
get together enough money to buy
lubricating oil for a fleet of big steel
ships," was his parting shot.
Mr. Bates challenges Portland to
show him that lie has made anything
but a good buy.

'CREW
Passengers of British Steam
' er Fazilka All Saved.
GRAPHIC STORY RELATED
Life Jioats Launched and Enfeebled
Men, Women, Children Taken
From Wrecked Vessel.
A graphic account of the rescue by
the Portland-built steamer West Mo-J
dus of 600 Hindu passengers of the
British steamer Fazilka, when the
Fazilka ran aground on Nicobar Isl
and October 31, is contained In an edi
tion of the "West Modus Messenger,
a paper published aboard the Port
land ship and reproduced In the Pe
nang Oazette and Straits Chronicle,
an English newspaper published at
Penang, where the survivors were
landed, recently received by Mrs, H.
E. Currey Jr., of 123 East Fifteenth
street, from her husband, Herschel E.
Currey Jr., second; officer on the West
Modus.
Extracts from the ship's newspaper
follow:
"The West Modus hove to and an
chored a mile and a half to the lee
ward of the stranded vessel, and the
transfer of passengers commenced
without delay. The anchor went down
shortly after noon and within five
minutes the first boat load of pas
sengers was alongside. Two of the
West Modus lifeboats were lowered
and volunteers manned rhe oars for
the long, hard pull. In every boat
that left the side was an odd combi
nation ' of seamen, oilers, a'nd mess
boys, each one bending his back like
a veteran life saver and all working
together in a' form surprising- for a
hastily picked crew.
Rncne One of Difficulty.
"The heat and the burning sun
added to the trials of the oarsmen.
Alongside the wrecked vessel the
handling of the boats was particu
larly difficult because of the surf
surging in along the beach. Here the
boats had to be held in position by
main strength and- determination,
while the terror-stricken Hindus tum
bled In and took places in the bottom
of the boat well clear of the oars.
"Twenty at a time the Hindus were
ferried to the West Modus. Many of
them were so weak that the sailors
had literally to carry them aboard.
Natives of all ages and shades of
brown, from babies a few weeks old
to tottering patriarchs who will never
see the century mark In years again,
were passed or handed over the side
by rough-looking sailors, who found
that they were -admirable nurse
maids when the occasion- arose.
"Many of the rescued on gaining
the Modus' deck knelt in their tracks
to thank the men who had saved
them, but who were too busy saving
others to take notice of them. In the
transfer of the 600 in small boats, not
a person was lost or hurt, and not
one suffered even so much as a dip.
The story is one of mind, muscle and
dispatch."
West Modus Portland Built.
The West Modus was built by the
Northwest Steel company and de
livered to the emergency fleet cor
poration here February 28, 1919. She
left Portland last March with a cargo
of flour for Trieste. Austria, and re
turned to New York. She left the
latter port in August with a general
cargo from Singapore. She was last
reported as sailing from Batavia De
cember 19 for Singapore aid return
to New York.
Second Officer Currey joined the
vessel here in March and is still with
her. He had command of the last
boat load off the wreck, he has in
formed Mrs. Currey by letter, and was
given the boat as a souvenir.
MAYO TO CHANGE FLAG HERE

tralia. She is under charter to Hind,
Rolph & Co. of San Francisco
The motor ship Admiral Mayo is be
ing towed to Portland from San
Francisco by the steamship Admiral
Goodrich, which has taken the place
of the steamer Curacao on the Portland-San
Francisco iun.. The Curacao

first trip in her new service between
that poet and Mexico and Central
America. Part of the caggo of the
Curacao on her southward voyage
consists of 250 tons of flour loaded
here for Mazatlan.
WOODEN STEAMER PRAISED
Chief Engineer of Asivenhill Re
turns Home From Voyage.
Charles K. Wirostck, who sailed
from here as chief engineer of the
wooden steamer Aspenhill, built by
the Coast Shipbuilding company and
made a voyage In her from Portland
to Grimsby, England, and back to the
Atlantic coast, has returned to his
home at Vancouver. Wash. Yesterday
he visited old friends in maritime
circles and was enthusiastic in his
praise of the wooden steamer's be
havior. x
"I opened her throttle at Astoria,"
he said, "and closed It at Balboa.
Then 1 opened it again at Colon and
closed it at Grimsby. The vessel
behaved perfectly and averaged nine
knots for the entire voyage."
The Aspenhill carried a crew com
posed largely of Portlanders. most of
whom have already returned to their
homes.
PORTLAND FLOUR IX DEMAND
Far East Calls-for Large Orders
of Foodstuffs From Here.

CARGO-HANDLING RECORD SET
Rubber Is Rapidly Transshipped
From West Harlland.
An enviable record In the rapid and
efficient transhipment of cargo has
been established by operators at the
St. Johns terminals with the handling
of the first cargo, of crude rubber ever
received here., that of the steamer
West Hartland. which arrived from
the orieot"December 29 and yesterday
started loading for her return voyage.
The last of the 3500 tons of crude rub
ber brought by the West Hartland

nounced of vessels to load here In the
near future.'all give indication that
1920 will be one of the largest years
in the exportation of lumber the rtver
has ever known. The present list of
miscellaneous tonnage en route to
Portland is the largest that has been
posted at any one time for several
years, and those of Portland's water
front fraternity who are familiar with
conditions declare that the overseas
commerce of the port has returned at
last to the volume that was customary
before the war.
In the 11 days since January 1 six
vessels have been dispatched from
the Columbia river to offshore ports
with full or part cargoes of lumber.
These are in chronological order the
steamer Diablo with lumber for Bal

for Alexandria, Egypt.

ports, and another, the West Kader,
is on her way here from San Fran

Kader will carry lumber to the ori
ent, and the Circinus to Australia.
Incidentally, the Circinus is the first
steel steamer, according to all avail
able records, to be loaded with a full
lumber cargo from Portland to the
Antipodes.
On their way to Portland to load
lumber are, besides the West Kader,
one motor schooner, two sailine
scnooners ana two barkentines.
Th
