POLICE CHIEF SPENDS COLD
NIGHT AT CAINE'S HEAD
Caine's Head, with a view
whica is said to rival the fam
ous Diamond Head of Hawaii,
is not a favorable spot in which
to spend the night without food
•or shelter in a 40 mile winter
wind. Police Chief Floyd Evans
and three visiting policemen
iroin the Territory are ready to
give expert advice on the sub
ject.
The men left Seward Sunday
in an lt> foot boat witii outboard
motor prepared for goat hunt
ing The boat, caught in a wind
squall, was beached at the fool
•of the promontory, and, unable
to „et if off, the hunters spent
the rest of Sunday and all night
trying to keep warm. They had
only sandwiches and a pint of
couee in the way of food.
Apprehension for their safety
before midnight got a search
party underway, and at dawn a
plane, piloted by “Tiny” Tra
iiowshi, made a patrol of the
beaches. The men were sighted
and an Army LCM went to
their rescue.
In the search for the first
party, a second small boat w-as
sighted marooned by the same
wind across the bay. A second
LCM was dispatched to the
second rescue. Identity of the
second party was not learned
by press time.
A very high wind with strong
gusts prevailed throughout the
night with velocity increasing
after 4 p.m. Sunday.

EXPLOSIVES HANDLING
RESTRICTIONS TO
EE LIFTED
Lifting of restrictions in hand
ling explosives in Alaska and
Hawaii will be made possible by
a resolution adopted by the
House Merchant Marine and
Fisheries Committee, Delegate
Bartlett said this week.
For several months rigid Coast
Guard regulations have been in
effect following a recommenda
tion by the legislative commit
tee.
The resolution adopted this
week, and following extensive
hearings before the committee,
recognizes the special situations
in the two "territories.
• Provided safety requirements
are met, and provided consent of
local authorities is obtained, ex
plosives can be handled in the
same manner as before the strin
gent regulations went into effect.
The resolution sets forth that
the waiver which it grants will
be effecitve until February 15,
1952.
CRUIKSHANK GETS STUCK
IN THE MUD
Bruce Cruikshank, former
manager of the local radio sta
tion, dropped in on Seward
friends today. He started out for
a drive from Anchorage Sunday
afternoon, he said, and just kept
on going until he got stuck in
the mud. By that time it was too
late to return to Anchorage, so
he just came on to Seward.
A bulldozer pulled his car out
the mud hole near Summit Lake.
He hopes the friendly dozer will
still be around for his trip back
this afternoon.
