Along
The
Waterfront
By Karl Armstrong
A wild ride was experienced by
the crew of the tug Pawtucket
when she got caught out in Sheli
kof during last week’s high winds.
She came over from Seward to
have Deveau work on her elec
tronic gear and ran into winds of
85 knots. The road to Chiniak was
washed out at Roselyn Creek by
the huge combers roaring in from
the storm. Also seas were crashing
over the road at Mill Bay ... at
present tons of seaweed and kelp
are available there.

Kodiak King Crab has been in
troduced into New York City by
Martin’s Fresh King Crab recently
we are told. Shipments of several
hundred pounds are sent three
times a week to two well known
restaurants there. Also the fact
that the Yanks won the World Se
ries might be attributed to the fact
that the Sheraton Palace Hotel in
San Francisco provided them with
a huge King Crab feed flown fresh
from Martin’s Fresh King Crab
just before their winning game.
(This should be worth a fresh
King Crab for the Mirror.)

Doris Smith, pianist-singer at
the Mecca, used her keen clean
keyboard humor to good advantage
last Friday evening when several
cannery executives and boat skip
pers were within earshot in a lull
’tween price negotiating sessions.
After hearing various references
to “a penny” in their conversa
tions she “dedicated” a song “from
the fishermen to the cannerymen."
. . . The title? “Pennies From
Heaven.” One of the executives
promptly dedicated a song “from
the canneries to the fishermen
, . . entitled “I Can’t Give You
Anything But Love.” And “Big
Les,” our good friend and some
time fisherman, wants me to “no
tify all the fishermen that Big
Les is back in town and tending
bar at Tonys now.” (“A lil taste!”)
The community’s collective sigh
of relief was almost audible last
Saturday following release of the
news that Alaska Packers Asso
ciation’s offer of one cent with a
two-year contract was accepted by
members of the Fishermen’s Mar
keting Association, whose 700-man
membership includes virtually
every fishing vessel on Kodiak.
Both sides are to be commended
highly for conducting serious busi
ness-like, yet friendly relations
during the negotiations. The ami
able atmosphere in which the price
negotiators met, and perhaps more
importantly, which they main
tained, bodes well for our fish
eries industries. A long drawn out
period in which fishing would have

stopped and canneries shut down,
would undoubtedly have left an
acrimonious atmosphere between
the parties involved and, worse,
would have brought our island
community’s prosperous economy
to a disastrous stagnation. Happily,
both sides used good sense and re
straint and everyone benefitted.
