Cutter Bear Promises To End

SUATTLIi, Aug. 12. (A. P.) Tho
steamer Oduna of the Alaska Steam
ship company, early toduy was- hasten
ing to the cutter Boar, voteran of tho
United States coast guard, ashoro In
Boring strait.
Tho Odunu, in a niesage received by
tho Seattle hurbor radio, said that she
expected to reach the lieur ut 4
o'clock this morning.
The Odunu left Nome, Alaska,
around on tho south side of Seward
peninsula, from Cupe Prince of
Wales, whero the eBar was caught at
noon yestorduy. Capo Prince of Wales
is from 30 Oto 500 miles steaming dis
tance through tho Boring seu from
Xomo.
Tho Odunu reported that she learn
ed of the Boar's plight through a sig
nal from tho cutter.
SKATTLU. Augi 12. (A. P.) A
cablegram received here last night
fi.mi, 1 ;iutl!,uku nn nmiliiNltii Inland in
the Aleutian archipelago, stated that
.the United states coast guard cutter
I Bear, was ashore at Cape Prince of
ivnics. at ine western enu i ovivaiu
peninsula. In Bering strait.
The message read:
"Bear ashore on Cape Prince of
Wales village. Frensh southeast
wind."
Tho Bear was on hor annual cruise
to the Arctic ocean. She carried
ifood to puints along the extreme
northern coust of Alaska and Cunadu.
The Bear steamed from hero on
May 13 on the 37th annual cruise Into
i the Arctic ocean. The summer had
' 1 ,.nnn..i,.l .Itn wntdan
steamer, which Is to be replaced after
(this trip by u new steel cutter costing
' $1,000,000. ' . ; r 1
I Like Adeline Puttl
I For several years tho Bear, like
Adcllna Patti on hor last tour, has
gono Into tho Arctic "for the lust
time." But now the money to repluco
her has been appropriated, and the
Mast guard has received from offi
cers In Its service and from experts
outside, a volume of suggestions from
which to build a super-cutter.
So tho men of tho coast guard have
como at last to believe that the vet
eran of nearly half a century of cruis
ing tho loneliest and most dangerous
of tho seven sous. Is going to make
her exit Is going to inako her faro
well ufter being law, medicine and
theology to tho Arctle coast of Alaska
for two generations.
Last year tho Bear dumaged her
propellers, but after repairs at Duch
Harbor in tho Aleutian Islands she
crept to San Francisco with her sails.
Built. In 1871 .
Built in Greenock, Scotland, in 1874
for tho British government, tho Boar
was acquired along with the Thetis,
both sealers, by tho United, States, nnd
turned over to tho coast guurd in 1885.
Since then sho huB been making an
nual trips to Point Barrow, tho farth
est north point of tho American con
tinent, und beyond, currying supplies
to taht und other isolated communi
ties. Her commander, authorized as
a United States commissioner, hus
conducted trials and administered all
tho functions of a federal court as his
craft wont from villugo to village on
the Arctic coast. T
Tho physician and tho dentist of the
Bear have been all the health ser
vice Uncle Sam's Eskimos rocclvcd,
and for other services than law and
medicine, somebody aboard wls pretty
likely to be able to do a turn.
In tho summer of I8S6 the Hear
mado her first cruise Inlu the Arctic,
und with tho cxcoptlon of three yoalB
when hor placo was takon by tho cut
tor Thetis, sho has patrolled tho Icy
oceun every season slnco. Tho Bcur
carried to Alaska an original rein
deer herd of 800 from ISbcria thut
hus Increased to 400.000,
One of the rescues of tho Bear, often
called the good Samaritan of the north
Pacific, wus thut of tho crew of thc
Whaler James Allon In 18114 ut Ke
guam Puss, 15 miles wide, between
Ainlia and Seguam Islands of the An

The Bear under command of Cap
