CAPT. MM
IK GOV'T SERVICE
Capt. F. L. Herrlman, who ar- J
rived in port on the Ocean Going
Tug Arctic, having brought the
barge Palmyra here loaded with
1900 tons of coal has the distinction
of being the magter of the first
vessel on the Pacific coast to be i
commandeered by the United States
government.
When the owners of the tugboat
Arctic and barge Palmyra were no
tified that their vessel had been
commandeered, Captain Herriman
immediately offered his services to
his government, and this offer was
*t once accepted, he being given
the rank of Lieutenant Of the Sen

ment, as chief engineer of the
Arctic, and this offer was also ac
cepted, and Mr. Berell was given
the rank of Lieutenant, Junior 1
Grade. 1
Lieutenant Herriman as master
and Lieutenant Berell as chief 1
englneeer, are now under governmei I
orders, but In order to facilitate 1
the shipping the owners of the
Arctic and Palmyra have been per
mitted to make certain trips, only
being allowed to engage for single
trips at a time. When the coal has
been discharged here, the Palmyra
will take on a ©argo of 2,000 tons
of copper ore from the White
