hind you 100^, on your intelligent and discreet decisions, and may God watch
over you.

An unexpected arrival aboard the station last week was a Greek Chief Engineer
who fell from a ladder on his ship the CAPTANTONIS during rouqh weather at sea.
Through the combined efforts of the Navy and Coast Guard the patient, Chief
Engineer Caralampos Triantafyllou, age 84, was transferred to the Station Hosp
ital where Doctor Rogers performed surgery upon arrival. Twenty-four hours
after Triantafyllou left surgery, Doctor Rogers reports that he is improving
moderately. Rough weather prevented the patients transfer to the USCGC CLOVER
while at sea. The CLOVER then led the CAPTANTONIS through Chugul Pass and Asu
ksak Pass to Kuluk Bay, Adak, where transfer of patient to YTB402 was accomp
lished. The Army, Air Force, Marines, Navy and tne civilians of Adak Welcome
