Long Tail And !
Museum Mystery
Is Finally Solved j
I
(Juneau Empire*
Last summer the Alaska Terri
torial Museum acquired an inter
esting relic from Yakutat. It was
the antique headdress of a long
defunct Tlinget shaman or medi
cine man in the form of an
owl’s head. But this was an owl
that was different. It has green
eyes with huge red circles around
them. Its ears were leathery and
it had a hairy mane. And thereby
hangs a tail.
But what kind of a tail? That
was the $64 question. The Indi
ans didn’t know, the Curator
wouldn’t guess, and the experts
upstairs didn’t care to take a
chance. So at the suggestion of W.
A. “Bud” Elkins, Wildlife Man
agement Supervisor, a sample of
the hair to which a piece of moth
eaten hide was attached was sent
to Denver. Into the Wildlife Re
search Laboratory went the mys

From a letter received by Elk

Amid the deepening gloom of
the military situation, diplomats
at Lake Success held to one ray
of hope—that secret week-end
conferences between India’s Sir
Benegal N. Rau and communist
China’s Wu Hsiu-Chuan might
provide a peace formula.
The two met for several hours
last night in what Sir Benegal
said was an attempt to find a way
out of the crisis brought on by
Red Chinese intervention in Ko

80-Year-Old Bell
Presented To
Cunard SS. Line
NEW YORK, (/P)—A 250-pound
brass ship’s bell that tolled time
aboard the old S. S. Parthia 80
years ago arrived here aboard the
present-day Parthia last week as
a gift from west coast owners of
the old vessel.
The bell, which has been heard
by American-bound immigrant,
Alaskan sourdoughs and Austra
lian longshoremen in its colorful
jorneys was installed aboard the
Cunard liner shortly before she
left Liverpool last Saturday.
The old iron-hulled Parthis still
is in active service and now is
known as the Victoria. It now is a
cargo ship of the Alaska Steam
ship Company. It recently was
laid up for the winter.
The bell was removed from the
Victoria when she was converted
to an oil burner 40 years ago. The
Alaska line this year obtained the
bell from the estate of E. T. Stan
nard, of Seattle, and presented it
to the Cunard line.
