Coast Guard Was
Galled Into Play
To Assist Boat
■ #
The small motorboait T-2900, be
longing to Clyde Cockburn, other
wise known as “Tex", required the
services of the local Coast Guard
launch last evening.
The T-2900 has been anchored off
the Sandspit for the past several
days, in Bering Sea. The owner
was notified yesterday early that the
barometer was dropping and that it
would be wise for him to come in
side the river, but the change of
anchorage was delayed. It grew
rough last evening about six pm and
the boat came near foundering.
The Coast Guard boat with Kurt
Sprenger in charge and Gene Elms
boatman went out to pull the other
boat in an it was short of gasoline
and the motor was wet. When part
way up the river, the towline broke
in two and in dropping back to put
another line aboard, the two boats
came together, breaking the filler on
the coast guard boat. After going
out to sea again and making tempor
ary repairs the coast guard boat
started in the river, but the motor
failed. Meanwhile the other boat
had refilled its gas tank and a line
was passed to it and the government
boat towed up to its anchorage.
The Coast Guard launch which
has been in storage at the Lomen
Commercial Co. dock was overhaul
ed and placed in the water only a
few hours before the call. Its en
gine which had been worked over
had not yet been fully run in.
Mail the Nome Daily Nugget to
your friends, and let them know
about the re-building of Nome.

Cutter Northland
Reported About
200 Miles Nome
Reports received today stated that
the USCG Northland, Commander
K. Scammel, was, and has been in
the ice about 200 miles south of
Nome. Today’s reports received
about noon indicated that the vessel
was about 175 miles out, but expect
ed to come through either tonight
or tomorrow, depending upon the
severity of ice conditions.
This is the first indication that any
ice remained outside of Nome. Air
plane pilots flying over the city
could see no ice, and their vision
sometimes stretched as far as a hun
dred miles.
Nome High School
Hold Graduation
Exercises Wed. PM
Graduation Exercises will be held
at the Dream Theatre at eight o’clock
tomorrow evening. The program
will consist of several musical num
bers, an address by Mr. J. D. Har
lan, and the presentation of diplo
mas by Mr. L. E. Rynning, president
of the school board.
As it has been decided that there
will be no picnic, school will close
on Thursday, June 6. This year has
been marked by many interruptions
and disturbing influences, yet the
achievement of the entire group has
been highly satisfactory. The re
sults of a standardized test given to
all pupils in grades four to eight
show that our pupils average far
above normal in academic achieve
ment. Other outstanding events of
the year are the acceptance of our
application for membership in the
Northwest Association of Secondary
and Higher Schools and the winning
of the city basketball championship
by the High school boys. The real
value of the year’s work, however,
does not stand out but is deeply and
firmly imbedded in the mind and
character of each pupil. It has been
the purpose of the members of the
teaching staff to so direct the activi
ties of each child that he might
realize the most from his personal
and mental qualities.
LOCAL NEWS

Pilot Frank Whaley of the Roust
Airways took off today for Solomon !
with a party of sportsmen and was |
to continue to Golovin and return
to Nome this afternoon with pas
sengers and express. Low-lying fog
may prevent his return today, it was
reported.
Mayor Rex F. Swartz reports that
since the last meeting of the city
council efforts to secure a competent
civil engineer for the planning of
the PWA work to be carried on this
summer, if the president signs the
bill now in his hands which has
been passed by both houses, have
so far proven of no avail. Todale
no definite word has been received
as to when suoh an engineer will
be secured, as it has been impossible
to contact any persons who would
be at liberty to come to Nome.
