as the probable route. As halibut have 

 never been found in abundance on the 

 banks off the Alaska peninsula and the 

 Aleutian chain, lying northwest of Flat- 

 tery, these banks assuredly could not 

 be the home of the schools which visit 

 Flattery in summer. 



All the evidence now available, ac 

 cording to Mr. Calvert, points to the 

 strong probability of the fish coming 

 from unknown banks which lie from 

 150 to 1,000 miles west of our coast. 



It would be a comparatively easy 

 matter for the Albatross to determine 

 this matter conclusively in a sum 

 mer's cruise, and it is to be hoped that 

 the TJ. S. Bureau of Fisheries will see 

 its way clear to settle the matter once 

 and for all by detailing the vessel for 

 this purpose. 



While minor accidents to the fleet 

 were numerous, but few serious ones 

 occurred. In February the power 

 schooner Alice, of Port Townsend. 

 7— FISH ANL 1-26 cce 

 Wash., was wrecked in Southeast 

 Alaska and became a total loss. On 

 April 26 the power schooner Montana, 

 of Seattle, while at anchor near Sitka. 

 Alaska, caught fire and was sunk to 

 prevent her total destruction. Late in 

 the fall she was raised and brought to 

 Puget Sound for repairs. The power 

 schooner Victoria, of Victoria, B. C 

 was wrecked and became a total loss 

 in October. On April 3 the little Puget 

 Sound schooner Prince Olaf was seized 

 by the Canadian authorities, charged 

 with fishing inside the three mile limit. 



The year saw the passing away of 

 Capt. Andrew Weiding, of Seattle, who 

 died in this city on August 19 from a. 

 fractured skull received on the 15th, 

 when he was struck by an automobile. 

 He was one of the principal organizers 

 of the Weiding & Independent Fisher- 

 ies Co., one of the leading fish con- 

 cerns of the coast, and which after his 

 retirement was reincorporated as the 

 National Independent Fisheries Co. He 

 left this company in 1913, and shortly
