PURCHASE AND TRANSPORTATION OF SUPPLIES. 



As in previous seasons, printed schedules of annual supplies of 

 general merchandise requu'ed for the Pribilof Islands were prepared 

 and competitive bids received, Seattle, Wash., being the shipping 

 point. Through the courtesy of the Navy Department the radio 

 station tender U. S. S. Saturn was made available for the transporta- 

 tion of part of the bureau's supplies on two trips of the vessel to the 

 Pribilof Islands. 



On the first trip the Saturn left Seattle May 16, having on board 

 for the bureau 126,000 feet of lumber, 184 tons of general merchan- 

 dise, including 112 tons of salt, and also 50 tons of coal to be deliv- 

 ered at St. George for repayment to the Radio Service from which 

 it had been borrowed. The vessel arrived at the islands June 11. 

 On a second trip from Seattle, July 22, and arriving at the islands 

 August 3, the Saturn carried 675 tons coal, 4,485 feet lumber, 27 tons 

 fuel oil, and 366 tons general merchandise for the bureau. The Eider 

 assisted the Saturn in unloading and transferring cargo at the islands 

 and at Unalaska. 



The Coast Guard cutter TJnalga made two trips between Unalaska 

 and the Pribilofs in June, transferring lumber which had been left 

 at Dutch Harbor the previous fall by the Saturn. The auxiliary 

 schooner Ruby, operated by the Kuskokwim Fishing & Transporta- 

 tion Co., was utilized also for the transportation of supplies, leaving 

 Seattle May 21 and arriving at the islands June 18. The vessel 

 carried 67,000 feet lumber, 35 tons salt, and 64 tons general mer- 

 chandise. About 200 tons of general cargo were forwarded from 

 Seattle August 16 on the Oregon, owned by the Alaska Commercial 

 Co. The vessel reached the islands September 12 and finished un- 

 loading and departed September 14. 



The Bureau of Fisheries greatly appreciates the courteous cooper- 

 ation extended by the Navy and the Coast Guard in transporting 

 supplies and persons to the Pribilof Islands.
