was almost on the beach when a
large wave swept her back into the
sea.
‘We kept looking but we never
saw her again,” Harris said tear

The distraught skipper said he
recovered the body of his son and

For nearly two days the three
survivors huddled on the beach.

them to Port Bailey where they
were flown to Kodiak.

Trooper Hussey
Promoted; Leaves
“Biggest Beat”
The cop who has been covering
the biggest police beat in the world
since August, 1959, State Trooper
C. E. “Jim” Hussey, departed Tues
day to report into his new duty
assignment in Fairbanks where he
has been promoted to investigator
from trooper status.
Trooper Hussey wasn’t positive
if his police beat was the largest
but said, “it certainly must be the
longest since it stretches from Ko
diak Island to Attu, furtherest
west of the Aleutian Island Chain.”
Trooper Hussey
just during the past three
months Hussey traveled approxi
mately 6,000 miles covering his
beat, "and 5,000 miles of that I
logged in just one month!” he said.

assigned to Kodiak had only this
area to look out for, the fact is that

diak Islands and the entire length
of the Aleutian Islands. This in
