ROSENBUSH BOAT
WAS AFTER COAL
WHEN GROUNDED
L. G. Rosenbush of
Seldovia, who went to
Homer to pick up a
load of coal for this
city, wrecked his
boat on the rocks at
Bluff Point, accord
ing to wired informa
tion received here
Monday.
Whether the boat
is a total loss was
not definitely known
at press time* Mr.
Rosenbush*s wire said
that the bottom was
broken out. It was
the concensus of op
. in ion here that the
'winds of the past few
days would pound the
craft to pieces on
the rocky beach.
L. V. Sommerville,
who received the
wire, was asked to go
to Homer to pick up
Mr. Rosenbush. How
ever rough water pre
vented his leaving
early in the week, ks
soon as the weather
clears he will bring
Mr. Rosenbush back.
In the meantime
there continues to be
some shortage of coal
