The whole case was shrouded with mystery, and the Thirteenth Naval District declined to comment. Likewise there was no announce- ment forthcoming official or un- official of the nathe of the master under arrest, his identity being | closely guarded. The arrest was made a month ago at a distant Alaska port and the man has been held by naval au- thorities ever since.
