Fishing Boat
Sends S.O.S.
SEATTLE, i,P» — The 50-foot
fishing boat Verna with six men
and 10,000 to 11.000 pounds of
fish aboard called for help yester
day and expressed fear it could
not make port.
The vessel, owned by Charles
Brendible of Ketchikan, radioed
the coast guard at Point Higgins
that it was taking water faster
than the bilge pumps could clear
it.
The Verna was near Gold Is
land, northeast of Annette. A
coast guard boat left Ketchikan at
6:10 a.m. yesterday to go to the
stricken vessel.
Coast guard officers in Seattle
were informed that the seine-type j
boat- was enroute to Metlakatla .
when it developed trouble. No
cause was given and the boat’s
captain said he was not able to de- 1
termine where the leak was.
Kanab, Utah, whose colorful
scenecy makes it ideal for techni- j

than 1,500 experienced film play-!
ers on call in the region, including \
Paiute and Navajo Indians. ,
