Fire Damaged
Cookhouse At
Little Cr. A. M.
A fire starting in the Hammon
Company cook house at Little
Creek about 9 A.M. today was
extinguished after much effort,
about 10:30 A M., with damage
estimated to be between six and
seven thousand dollars.
From all accounts the fire start
ed in the kitchen, caught to the
ceiling and ate its way into the
second story where sleeping ac
commodations for a number of
men are located . It was explain
ed by A. M. Hartford, assistant
manager in charge of operations,
that the blaze gutted the kitchen
and the second, story sleeping
quar’ers, but with no fire damage
to the dining room below or the
store rooms located on the main
floor of the two story building.
All supplies for the cook house
were stored in the building, and
the one hundred odd men who
fought the fire quickly removed
these supplies before there was
any danger that the fire would
progress to that section of the
building.
Many Hammon Company em
ployees from around the power
house, machine shops, etc., *in
Nome rushed the three miles to
Little Creek to help put the fire
out. Two nozzels,. operated by
pumps, and about thirty fire ex
tinguishers were used in halting
the conflagration.
The cause of the fire was not
definitely determined, beyond the
fact that it started in the kitchen,
presumably from the kitchen
stove.

Tug Sawtooth of
Lomen Company
Was Destroyed
y
-
The severe storm that raged
for a few hours last night at
Nome also struck Golovin. These
storms, even when of short dura
tion, often take a heavy toll, and
the Lomen Commercial Company
is today in receipt of the news
that their gas tug Sawtooth/ sta
tioned at Golovin, was caught in
the blow and completely wrec
; ked.
As near as can be learned, the
steering gear broke and before
the crew could anchor, the tug
was on the rocks. The men work
I ed desperately to save their boat
in the short time that elapsed be
fore it struck, but the fury of
j the storm was too much for them.
They were forced to jump into
I the surf and swim ashore, being
; lucky to get out alive.
The Sawtooth had just return
ed to Golovin from Nome afte
being completely overhauled
both hull and engine, at an ex
pense of $2,000. Her replacemen
value is $12,500.
