TWO CANNERY HANDS ARE
LOST DURING STORM
Somewhere either on Uie open 8<a
or lost in the inland waters of South,
eastern Alaska is a purse seine beat
from the floating canrerv Glory of
the Sens, w'th two men aboard. One
of tlie men is H. Xelson The otlur
one is ittlled ' t'.ituer." A story of
the mishap la l Fri:'ay afternoon
ne.tr Tape l>e< i-i ni **? brought into
tow: this morn nc from Hoonah by
(""lark and 11 1'enMkin. who were
i ' e of the bents a!>andoned dtir
- the storm Friday, but who reach
! H(*'nr*h in safety yesterday mou
rn? after a hard trip.
The bis tug Taioosh was towing
loiy of the Seas from Ketchi
san to the salmon banks In the
wake of the floating cannery were
two soows and the two seine boats.
A terrific Southeastern wind broke
with fun,- on the sen and the scows
and seine l>oats were lost, the Unec
with which they were moored to the
G1 *ry of the Sea? snapping like twine
I>uring the sx'orm the Tatoosh was
forced to confine its operations to
standing by the floating cannery, and
the purse-seine boats, with their hu
man cargo, were left to seek their
own salvation. Clark and HenoTkin
wore handicapped by the absence in
the seine-boat of charts. The en
gine in the boat bmke down. They
finally got to lloonafi by using bed
canvas as sail.
_ Clark left this morning for Ketchi
kan on the Mariposa to get a rescue
boat to look for the missing boat.
P.enolkin leaves this evening for Ket
chikan on the Spokane.
Hob Bell, of th?? Astoria A Puget
Sound cannery. qu!ckl> loaned the
tender Nokomis to institute a search
for the lost craft and the two men.
and the Nokomis is supposedly in the
vicinity of Cape Decision by this
time ? Juneau Plspatch.
