Possibility That Princess
Kathleen May Be Raised
From 120-130 Ft. of Water
VANCOUVER, B. C., </P) — The
possibility of raising the $5,000,000
luxury liner Princess Kathleen
from 120 to 130 feet of water was
studied here Tuesday by salvage
experts.
The captain of the Canadian
Pacific liner expressed the opin
ion there is a good possibility of
salvage.
“She’s sitting upright,” said
Capt. Graham Hughes. “I esti
mate she’s in 120 feet of water
forward and 130 feet aft, resting
on a sloping bank.”
The big ship crashed into the
rocks 18 miles north of Juneau
Sunday and sank after 425 pas
sengers and crewmen had been
removed.
Just why the ship happened to
run into rocks in Lynn Canal was
asked by three different sources
which started investigations Mon
day. One investigation was start
ed by the company, the second by
the Canadian Transport Depart
ment and a third by the U. S.
Coast Guard.
Capt. Hughes said he was “not
sure myself yet exactly what
caused the mishap.” The Kath
leen, making her last cruise of
the season on the Alaska run, was
a mile and a half off course when
she struck.
Princess Kathleen’s
Sistership Sunk During
War II In Mediterranean
VANCOUVER, B.C., (^—Com
pared to the fate of her sister j
ship, the Princess Kathleen had a
quiet end.
The 5,908-ton Kathleen crunch
ed aground Sunday near Juneau,
and sank. All hands were saved.
Her sister ship, the orginal
Princess Marguerite, was sunk by
enemy action in the Mediterra
nean in 1942. Battered and rav
aged by a succession of torpedo
explosions, she went down with a
gigantic roar when the flames
reached her stores of ammunition.
Both ships were built on Clyde
bank in 1925. Both were used on
the triangle run between Vancou
ver, Victoria and Seattle. The
Kathleen was shifted to the lux- j
ury Alaska cruise during the sum- ,
mers.
At least 11 Canadian Pacific
steamship vessels were sunk dur
ing the war, including the Em
press of Britain, Empress of Can
ada and Empress of Asia.

There is a host of things that endear a
Roadmaster to anyone who loves to
drive.
There’s the might of its Fireball 8 Engine —
most powerful ever put in a Buick.
s
There’s the thrift of its Airpower carburetor
— a four-barrel automatic that literally brings
increased power right out of thin air.
There’s its hushed and luxurious silence — its
poised and level ride that cost a million dollars
to develop —and the infinite smoothness of its
Dynaflow Drive.
B ut the thing that has brought the most cheers
for this big and obedient beauty is Buick’s ver
sion of Power Steering.*
Gone is the tug of turning, parking, maneuver
ing in small space.
Power Steering takes over the effort of turn
ing the front wheels—makes it a one-hand
operation. .
Do you have to learn to drive all over again
if you have this new Buick feature?
\bu definitely do not. On the open road, you
have that same sure sense of command that
you’ve always had*. Coming out of a curve,
you can loosen your grip, and the front wheels
right themselves just as they do on every Buick.
But you’ll notice this: When you suddenly hit
loose dirt or sand—or a stretch of rough road—
Power Steering smoothly goes into action —
helps take up the jerk — makes control of the
wheel easier and driving safer.

—on a Roadmaster or a Super? You say the
word, and we’ll do the rest.
Equipment, accessories, trim and models are subject to change

Super only.
