gracefully to Bering Sea, Friday
afternoon, when the water- rose
to about one foqt from the top of
the jetties The recent warm spell
was the reason for the large vol
ume of water which brought down
- te**- JVSMr — ■* '
liugo cakes of ice which Anally
jammed at the mouth, causing
the water to back up. The water
evidently sluiced out the bar a’
the mouth of the jetties which
