Landing winter food suplies for
villages and schools on Westward
islands is not such a mild diver
sion, acording to the Bureau of
Education Bulletin from Unalaska. j
Boat troubles in these tumultous i
seas are thus described:
This year the delivery of sup- j
plis have been a harrowing ex
perience- It will be long before
we hear of all the troubles con
nected with the landing /of the
supplies and our greatest concern
is whether or not the most needed
things have been spoiled. Owing
to the latness of the season before
the “Ruby” was able to get to
Bristol Bay stations the weather
was inclement and tides obstrep
erous. The first calamity happen
ed when the “Ruby” stuck on a
sand bar about five miles from
Kanakanak. From this distance
everything for the school had to
be lightered; one raft of lumber
got adrift; many cases of canned
goods were broken and damaged,
necessitating considerable work of
drying and sorting.

to get off the bar and proceeded
to Egegik. and last heard from she
was discharging safeiy there. At
this writing there are still several

Bristol Bay section and stations to
the Westward, and when we know

has been completed we will givp

We sympathize with those who
are suffering the inconvenience

know they will make he best of
these trials and remember that
things could be worse.
