His statement is backed up by the opinions of several passengers inter- viewed. Mrs. Ruby Bucy, who, with her two children is enroute to Sew- ard, declared that though she has often made the trip north, she has never received better service from crew members of all stations. “To begin with, I was fortunate in se- curing comparatively good accom- modations, though I must say that the vessel is not well equipped for passengers, but I expected that,” she said. “I have never traveled on a ship where the crew tried harder to please.”. ¢ Palmer to assume charge of the workmen’s home for the WPA, bore out Mrs. Bucey's statements. “We have been treated excellently,” she said. Mrs. Gill was in Alaska once before, 15 years age, and declared that she noticed great improvement in Juneau and other Alaska towns. No Complaint A. F. Novatney, going to Yaku- tat, stated that although the voy- age has been very slow, he has heard exceptionally little complaint re- garding the crew. “The ship may not be so much, but we have received mighty fine service, and no one could expect better food,” he de- clared. “I have heard but one com- plaint. A lady passenger reported a sleeping Bag missing shortly after the vessel discharged her passengers at Ketchikan, and I believe that so far it has not been located. How- ever, it is most probable that the blame in that instahce does not lie with the crew. It may either acci- dentally or otherwise have gone ashore with some passenger’s bag- gage. I have noticed no drunken- ness among crew members, nor have I heard complaints of any.” Trip Somewhat Slow Pete Blendheim, bound for Sew- ard, deeclared the service on the ves- sel to have been fine, though also eomplaining of the slowness of the voyage.
