CG CO Cdr. Tsghe
Is Rotary Speaker
Cdr. C. Tighe, Comanding Offi
cer of the U. S. Coast Guard Air
Detachment at Kodiak, spoke be
fore the Rotary Club at their
meeting Tuesday. He outlined the
functions of the activity.
The Detachment, he said, is lo
cated in the 17th Naval District,
with headquarters in Juneau. The
area is divided into the Southeas:
and Southwest Alaskan Sector,
and its scope of operation extends
from the Canadian border to the
Arctic Coast. Its primary function,
the speaker said, was to give log
(istic support to outside air units
and to carry supplies, personnel
and mail to lighthouse and weath
ex stations.
Pickup of mail sometimes has

tian chain. Mail bags were sus
puuded over a station, on nylor
lines. The plane had to fly low,
and the bags snatched up by
means of a pole. Several passes
had to be made at times, when
bad weather existed.
The Detachment here consists of
of 12 officers and 40 men, the
speaker continued. A part of their
duties was to aid in search and
rescue work. A Drummond Alba
tross is used mainly.
In addition to the plane, several
ships are on duty in the area at
all times. These are the Clover,
Bittersweet and the Sedge.
The Coast Guard maintains
Loran stations throughout the
area. The Spruce Cape station is
one of four, the speaker said.
These send out electronic signals.
Each is equipped with devices for
measuring time between the re
ceipt and sending of distress sig
nals. These indibate the approxi
mate position of the ship.
In addition to Commander Tighe,
other guests at the meeting were
