NAVY RESERVES
VISIT JUNEAU
ABOARD EAGLE

Many Prominent Men Are
Among Personnel Remaining
Until Saturday

With twenty-two naval officers and thirty enlisted reserves aboard, the U.S.S. Eagle No. 57, Lieutenant R. N. S. Clark, commanding, arrived in Juneau shortly before 7 o'clock this morning, berthing at the Government dock.

Most of the personnel of the ship are naval reservists and the cruise is for training purposes, affording some members of the Naval Reserve not detailed to regular routine cruises the opportunity of practical training at sea.

Lt. Commander A. J. Byrholdt U.S.N., who visited Juneau last year as an officer with Admiral T. T. Craven on his Alaska tour, is accompanying the group in an official capacity.

Included in the officer personnel are men from various professional and business pursuits in civil life, from the states of Washington, Oregon, Wyoming and Montana.

Physician Commander Lt. Commander Jacob Thorkelson, M.C., claims Butte, Montana, as his home town, where he is a prominent practicing physician and surgeon.

Before attending medical school many years ago, Commander Thorkelson held masters papers for sailing ships on the Atlantic.

Lieut. Edward E. Saunders, of Spokane, Washington, is a former president of the Spokane Rotary Club, and was known to the Alaska Rotary Delegation at the recent conference for his excellent work as program chairman during that session.

Rotarian, Too

Another Rotarian aboard is Benjamin F. Harin of Butte, Montana.

Among others who have cruised to Alaska before are Lieutenant V. C. Hockett, M.C., and Lieutenant Charles M. Boundy, who was born in Nome.

Although the original schedule called for only one day in Juneau, plans have been altered and the Eagle 57 will not leave here until 7 a.m. Saturday morning.

From here it will cruise to Taku Glacier, then to Eva Bay, on Peril Straits, from there to Sitka, and then to Ketchikan enroute to Seattle. The cruise will be of 16 days duration.
