Rescue Lighthouse
Family from Island
PRINCE RUPERT, B. C. (>P)—A
lighthouse family of three was re
covering here yesterday after be
ing marooned on an island for
four days by last week’s furious
coastal gale.
Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Wilkins and
their 10-year-old son Denis were
in a hospital with exposure and
slight injuries, but they are thank
ful to be alive—in any condition.
They said the intensity of the
storm forced them to get up in the
middle of he night last Wednes
day and flee from their tiny light
house across a small bridge con
necting the station with Egg Is
land. The island is about 200
miles south of here.
They had only time to thitow a
thin layer of outer garments over
their nightclothes. They barely
had reached the island before a
giant wave swept away both the
station and the bridge.
A fish packing vessel rescued
the Wilkins’ family Sunday.

Alaska Railroad
Barge Aground
ANCHORAGE, (/P>—A barge of
the Alaska Railroad, loaded with
relief supplies, was aground in
Southeastern Alaska today but
road officials said they hoped to
be able to pull it free.
The officials said an aerial in
speciion of the craft showed it to
be upright in Fern Harbor, and
apparently not battered by the
rocks.
One tug attempted to pull the
barge off the shore yesterday
morning without success. Two
more were enroute to Fern Har
bor to assist.
Fear that the forward hold of
the barge is flooded was expressed
by officers of the coast guard cut
ter Hemlock which removed the
two crew members yesterday.
Railroad officials said that if
the three tugs are unable to free
the barge, its cargo will be trans
ferred to another barge.
The barge was carrying 2203
tons. The largest part of the cargo
—1138 tons—was destined for An
chorage, including 80 tons of elec
trical equipment for a city public
improvement program.
The barge went ashore yester
day while seeking shelter in Fern
Harbor from winds of gale force.
Tug company officials said a rip
tide was responsible.
ALL FOR NOTHING.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A woman,
seeing some boys toss a fully-elad,
life-sized form into the path of an
oncoming car, put a hurried call to
police headquarters. Two squad
cars and an ambulance responded.
During the commotion, the boys
left hurriedly—with the dummy.
