The disappearance recently
of Frank Thomas, of Katalla,
who is supposed to have drift
ed to sea in a disabled gas
boat, has acted as a spur to
Cordova federal officials and
the Chamber of Commerce to
attempt to secure a patrol boat

Four clam diggers and trap
pers were lost last year be
cause of the lack of such a
vessel. The co-operation of
