MISSING BARK
LOST IN GALE
; SAN PEDRO, Cal., May 22.—'Mys
; tory stMl surrounds the disappear
. ance of the - four maisted barkantine
j Alta, which sailed from this port
1 February 20 bound tor Bellingham,
’ Wa h., with a crew at 22 officers
1 and men. together with the wife and
* j two children of Copt. Charles A
' i Sexon.
t The Alta, operated by the Bank
' of Italy in coastwise service, was
: swept southward, according to local
''seamen. It is believed the wind
11 Jammer was caught in the heavy
j northwest gale that swept the I’a..'fit
. j Ocean for days early' in March, and
•(carried south to the Rocky coast off
* Lower California. It is believed the
• I Alta was rammed into the rock3 at
* J flhis point.
• I Tradition of the sea decreed that
j Mrs. Sexon and her tw'o oh Urea
i should accompany Captain Soxon on
! the ill-fated trip, the old salts assert.
1 i The mystery of the Alta, has
I caused shirping men to fevive ttle
. I many mysteries and superstitions of
flmLssing ships from the local harbor.
> | chief among which is the story of
. j the windjammer Parkus. The ab
9| sence of a black cat Is held by
sailors to have 'been the cause of the
Parkus’ disappearance.
When the Parkus .was launched a
black cat was found aboard. Thi3
cat remained and when tho wind
jammer ‘'cast anchor Tor her initial
trip the black cat remained. Super
stition, so the tradition runs, made it
imperative that a black eat should
always remain aboard the Parkus.
Ultimately the black eat died and
before leaving for its last trip the
0i Parkus was 'held an hour while mem
^jbers of the crew vainly sought for a
r! black cat to replace the mascot. The
' captain laughed at the fears of his
j men and ordered the vessel to weigh
! anchor. The Parkus was never heard
I from again.

Before Secretary Weeks anil liis party of Senators and Rep
resentatives left New York for Alaska, the transport "Brant” was
equipped with the newest thing in loud-speaking telephony, the
We:fern Electric public address system. It will be used to give
orders to the ship’s crew, and to project entertainments broad
cast by radio to all parts of the ship. Secretary Weeks personally
tiied out the system. His interest in electrical communication
is counted on by advocates of a new Government cable between
Alaska and the United States.
The Secretary and his party will be at Chilkoot Barracks
from Juno 5 to June 8 and at Seward from June 10 to June 13.
