TRANSIT LOADS
FOR FAR NORTH
Schooner Loads in Seattle for
Point Barrow to Sai'l
May 20
A Sua!llo dispatch of May 10111
says: Capt. John Baekland is
preparing lo make one more dash
into the Arctic to the far northern
posts, mission stations and iso
lated native villages as distant
from southern civilization as
Point Harrow, the apex of Amer
icas. Gapt. Backland, explorer,
hardy mariner, guide, philos
opher and the friend of tho nor
thern tribes, has started to load
the schooner Transit for her per
ilous voyage, which will start
from her on May 20.
Tho Transit will have for
freight almost every conceivable
article for human use. Already
she has taken on a supply of coal
lo be delivered at Point Harrow
and shortly will lake aboard
150,000 feet of lumber for gen
eral buildings and hospitals at
the St. Thomas mission at Point
Hope in the Arctic ocean about
120 miles north of Hering straits.
Included in her cargo will be an
entire cannery out lit, lo be deliv
ered at, Kol/.ebnc for Ihe Midnight
Sun Packing company, one of the
companies controlled by ('apt.
Backland. For one of Ihe mining
companies at C.larence. near Tel
ler, a knoeked-down dredging
plant is to be taken.
A shipment of interest consists
of three douhle-end wlialchoats
made in New Bedford hv surviv
ors of Ihe famous whalchoat
building industry of former Hays
on the Atlantic. Allliouult there
is a strong demand for these ves
sels which are built to use sail,
Captain Backhand says he was on
ly able to obtain three.
There wil| be five gasoline boats
and three scows on the Transit
when she sails. Three of Ihe gas
oline craft are lo be delivered
at Teller and two at Point Hope,
while two of the scows are for
Teller and ruic for Kot/.ebue.
Transit will lake a shipment of
horse feed to the far north. This
wil| be used for horse teams at
Teller. The horses will be tak
en to Xome by steamship and
driven overland.
The, cargo of the transit when
she sails will be worth $75,000,
and provided it is safely dcliv
rn-il wilj loavo a largo margin of
profit. With a similar cargo last
year (Uipt. Barkland paid for tho
vessel. whirl) cost liirn $10,000,
ami limn had somHliing coming.
