Here, There and Everywhere
By SIG DIGREE
“Lets go on a picnic.”
That’s an innocent sounding
phrase that conjures up anticipa
tion of good food enjoyed out in
the open, a campfire, coffee that
never tastes better anyweher else,
congenial moments away from the
noise of the city, away from
people—in fact moments that
make for complete relaxation
amid pleasant surroundings.
Anticipation was far from what
actually happened.
Last Sunday this project was
put to us by the better half. To
make the outing more complete
we decided to do a spot of fishing
to work up an appetite as it were.
The two of us and a friend and
our little Scotty went aboard our
small boat and headed for Near
Island. The idea was that friend
wife and Duffy were to remain on
the island while we went fishing.
So far so good.
We left them ashore and headed
for a likely spot for fishing, but
after getting our hooks baited,
dropping them overboard, we
hadn’t much more than settled
back for soitie quiet fishing, wrhen
there arose an unearthly sound of
yelping coming from the direction
of the cove where we had deposit
ed said wife and dog. We saw
friend wife running along a cliff,
kneel down, and thought we spott
ed said dog at her feet. The yelp
ihg continued, however, and soon
Cries of “Help! Help!” came from
the same direction. We quickly
Polled in our tear, and headed for
the spot.
There wasn’t any doubt about
it, the dog had something to yelp
about. The wife, too, had some
f 1 ■ ... i
thing to cry about. For man’s best
friend was caught in a trap!
I daresay there can’t be more
than one trap on Near Island. It
was a small one to be sure. But
old Duffy had to find it. We quick
ly set him free, and it wasn’t long
before he was running around as
if nothing had happened.
But that ended our short fish
expedition. We decided to sample
the good wife’s cookery, and by
the time we had gotten into our
third helping, we realized that
this was our primary object in
going on an outing after all.
The fish are out there in the
deep still, but we haven’t lost our
hankering to dip a line over the
sidp of a boat, and with the usual
anticipation, wait for one of them
to take our bait.
But the question is: Should we
leave the dog at home, or should
we take him along in the boat,
knowing he can’t possibly get
caught in a trap if he is in the
boat. Then again, hell probably
fall overboard, or somethin!

Speaking about picnics. Noth
ing daunted after the above
episode, we went on a second
picnic Wednesday evening with
some friends. This time we chose
Mill Bay. Our first approach after
arriving there almost stopped us.
The beach on the far side of Mill
Bay has always been one of our
favorites. But not any more.
They’re now starting to dump
old cars on this' beach. One of
them was shoved down on the
beach, and apparently had been
burned. A small wispy flame still
lingered above the gas tank. We
expected to see it blow up any
minute. This didn’t add to our
enjoyment one bit.
The thought, of course, upper
most in our minds Wa$: Is there no
better place than a beach such as
this to dump old wrecks on to? In
fact we would assume that this
would be the last place to dump
an old car. Was this planned, a
deliberate attempt to keep people
off the beach?
It is a sad commentary that
Kodiak has miles of coves and
beaches and not one that you can
enjoy without looking at an old
abandoned car at the same time.
