January 3, 1914 – Capt. Egill Erickson, skipper of the halibut schooner Polaris, a well known fisherman all along the southeastern Alaska coast, on his return to Seattle last week reported having discovered and located new halibut banks near Prince William sound. The Captain did not care to make public the location of the banks at present.

Local fishermen are aware of the fact that many good catches of halibut have been made in the vicinity of Prince William sound and for the first time several Seattle vessels, including Polaris, went that far north this season to operate.
