FR0IT1 UJHflT I HERR
Now that the Reef Knot has come and gone,
I thought it might be interesting to let all
of youwfolks in on the reason for an extra
on that occasion. It all grew out of the
editorTs wanting to see what that special
large type would look like in a headline.
And speaking of the Reef Knot, you also
might like to know that she was still upset
ting plans on the day of her arrival, just
as she has been for the past two months. The
extra was ready and waiting, as was the Wed
nesday edition of the :paper, by 1 ofclock
that afternoon. It was planned to slip the
extra in the wrapper with the regular issue.
But a check revealed no Reef Knot. Advice
at the Anderson Dock office was that she
might come in later, and to wait an hour.
So promptly on the hour a second check
was made. Still no Reef Knot, and it seemed
unlikely that she would get in before the
following day. So it was decided to hold
the extra for Thursday, and an hour behind
schedule the Wednesday issue was wrapped and
prepared for mailing.
And it wasn’t until that regular issue
was being carried to the postoffice that
anyone in The Frontiersman office was aware
of the fact that the relief ship had sneaked
in and tied up at the dock an hour before.
So, if you didn’t get your extra until
Thursday (it didn’t reach the postoffice
until 8 o’clock Wednesday evening) and your
Wednesday paper was late,- just blame it on
the Reef Knot.
With the weather considerably warmer than
it has been for the past three weeks, per
haps now we can bear to think a', bit about
the wild beauty of the bay during that time.
One glimpse I caught of silver moonlight
slanting on the ice-filled waters of the bay
and glinting blue-white on the peaks of the
mountains on the opposite shore is some
thing I shan’t soon forget.
And the haphazard piles of smooth green
ice that lined the shores down near the
Beachcomber, looked like pieces left over
from the day all of Alaska’s glaciers were
created, didn’t they?
HOMER DOCK
IS DESTROYED
HOMER—The Homer
dock is entirely de
molished now. The
structure was batter
ed down by the ice
floes which have fil
led the bay fbr the
past several weeks.
It is reported
that only a small
portion of the ap
proach to the dock
still stands.
