Terminal Point
Seward, Alaska, Feb. 10.—
Captain Zimro Moore, well
known as captain in Alaskan

waters for the last twenty years,
and recently United States dep-
uty marshal at Unga, Alaska, has
resigned and is now enroute to
Seattle. He arrived last night on
the steamer Dora from _ the
westward. He says he will go
outside to further the claims of
Unga‘as a starting point for the
government railroad to be built
in Alaska.

Captain Moore says the fact
that Unga is located on an island
is no greater handicap than Por-

tage Bay or Port Wells has in
glaciers and poor harbors. He
says Prof. Martin was either

misquoted or ignorant in refer-
ence to a recent interview, when
he is alleged to have stated that
Port Wells is the logical place
for the railroad to start from
and that Bear glacier is a men-
ace to navigation near Seward.

Capt. Moore says it is a well-
known fact among all navigators
that Port Wells is an extremely
dangerous harbor at all times of
the year, especially in winter, on
account of the high winds and
ice floes from the glaciers, and
that there is no anchorage there.
He says in his opinion Resurrec-
tion bay is the best harbor in
Alaska and the only place where
the railroad should start, but
that if Port Wells has a chance,
he can show where Unga, even
though an island, is more ad-
vantageous.,

[t was suggested that the fire on
the Vollturno might have been
started by the superoxide of bar-

to friction and igniting inflam-
mable goods near it. This theory
gains support from the fact that

The commission exonerated
Captain Inch from blame for
hastily ordering the lowering of
the boats. It was admitted that
the attempt to save the passen-
ers in the lifeboats at the be-
ginning of the fire was the cause
if most of the loss of life, but
the commission took the view
that the orders given by the cap-
tain were *hose which any mat
in his position would have given,
it being by no means certain that
the vessel would not be entirely
ablaze or foundering within
brief time. He had good reason,
the finding declared, to think
any moment all persons on board
might perish with the ship, and
the use of the boats was the only
means of escaping that peril.
The main cause of disaster to
the Volturno’s boats was the
heavy rolling of the ship, which,
with the breaking of the
