Coast Guard-Navy Rush Russian Woman
To Hospital For Week’s 2nd Mercy Trip
Two young Russians, 24-year-old
Valentin Alekssevieh Chishov and
31-year-old Mrs. Vera Povh, both
patients at the Kodiak Naval Base
hospital, met Americans for the
first time in their lives this past
week and their experience has
been a memorable one.
Nor is either one likely to for
get how friendly or how kind the
American people can be.
Chishov was evacuated from the
SS Arsen, a Russian fishing ves
sel on Wednesday, and rushed to
the base hospital where an emer
gency appendectomy was per
formed. An attempt to operate was
made aboard the Russian fishing
vessel but had to be abandoned due
to rough seas. He is making excel
lent progress but probably will
have to undergo further surgery
sometime this week.
WOMAN EVACUATED
Two days later, Friday, Mrs.
Povh was evacuated from the SS
Broslaw, after she became crit
ically ill from a tubular pregnancy.
Her husband is a fisherman in the
same fleet where Chishov was lo
cated—about 60 miles southeast
of Kodiak, and she cleans fish on
the same boat.
Mrs. Povh suffered the loss of
much blood from her ordeal and
Navy physicians said after per
forming surgery, “She’s lucky to
be alive.”
Though neither Chishov or Mrs.
Povh speak English, through two
Kodiak residents, Rev. Father
Marcarius Targonsky, pastor of
the Russian Orthodox Church, and
Mrs. N. Kopun, extended their
gratitude for the treatment and
care they are receiving at the Na
val hospital with almost unbeliev
ing expressions.
Both were happy to talk witn
Father Targonsky and Mrs. Kopun,
although both told the pastor that
they were not church members and
did not believe in the power of
prayer.
HE WOULD TWIST
Of the two, young Chishov is the
more conversant. He told in Rus
sian how good the food was and

how he liked everything they
served him in the hospital. He said
Sunday, “I eat too much, but if I
don’t clean the plate, the nurses
will think I do not appreciate the
food.”
Quartered with a half dozen
American sailors, he concluded,
“I’m well enough to get out of bed
and do the Twist, but they won’t
let me.”
Both will be patients at the Ko
diak Base hospital for some days,
and at this moment, personnel at
the Base are not certain how they
will be returned to the fishing ves
sels.
The U.S. State Department has
been notified that they are pa
tients here, and as soon as they
are able to travel probably some
representative of the Russian Em
bassy will make arrangements for
them to return home or to their
fishing vessels was the conclusion
expressed by a base Naval officer.
Relic One-Ton
Anchor Arrives
A one-ton anchor for use in con
nection with the memorial to fish
ermen lost in this area arrived at
city dock this week from Chignik,
Emil Knudsen has advised.
The “relic” anchor was sent to
Kodiak on the Alaska Packers ten
der Bainbridge.
Ronald Tullis, APA’s Chignik
Superintendent told Knudsen that
“this anchor was picked up in Chig
nik Lagoon several years ago and
must go back considerable number
of years. If it is the type of thing
you require you are welcome to
it.”
Tullis pointed out that “Dan
Skonberg, a Chignik resident, tells
us you may use it as a type of
plaque, as a memory to the people
who lost their lives around Kodiak
Island last winter.”
FAIR VISITORS
Visiting Century 21 on Aug. 10
were Michael Barr, Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Gottschalk and Mr and Mrs.
Ray Martin, Jr, all of Kodiak.
