In port today to load-frozen fish or Vancouver after picking up a similar cargo at Sitka, Capt. Toll- som recalled the many northern| voyages he has made, including rading voyages as far east of | point Barrow as McKenzie Baj, shere the McKenzie River rolls| sut of Yukon Territory into the | Aretic Ocean. “There’s no country like Alaska,” he declared. “I've been in the Al- askan trade for almost 46 years, Sff and on, and every time Icome oack I like it better.” Naming the ships on which he ias sailed Alaskan waters would ill a column, but they include the l-famed Maid of Orleans, the two-masted schooner which once olied the waters of the South At- antic in the slave trade. Much | ater, equipped with diesel engines, he Maid of Orleans was a rum ver for the coast of California, the three-mile . limit to lift her | illegal cargo. Captain Tollbom skippered the vessel in Alaskan trade on the Kuskokwim River after her bootlegging days weie “But-she was a fine ship once.” | For five years Tollbom was first mate on the steamer Starr on' its route from Seward to the Aleu- tians. He left the Starr and ‘the Alaska Line in 1923 to join the Luchenback Steamship Company in Seattle. Since then, the Redwood, Tyee, Tongass and Taku are only a. few of the vessels which have plied northern waters under his orders. Tollbom was porn in Sweden “more: than 60 years ago” and served six years in the royal navy 96 | Biter his childhood apprenticeship | in the junior reserve.

John L. Cauble who is leaving Tuesday for Long- view, Wash., it was announced to- day by Rod Darnell, president of the Juneau Rotary Club, which early this year constituted itself a branch of the organization aiding England on the home front. Darnell coupled his announce- ment with a reminder that the need for donations continues great. Those owing sums on monthly pledges and others wishing to contribute are asked to mail or take their dona- tions to McNaughton at the B. M. Behrends Bank. All money is sent to New York headquarters and ac- ross the Atlantic in the form of much-needed supplies, at no cost 'in administration. H. L. Faulkner is the local chair- man and George Sundborg - the secretary of Bundles for Britain. B 'R. A, F.
