JOE MAGILL TELLS
OF RESCUE OF SIX
FILIPINOS AT KENAI
J. A. Magill, saltery man on Cook
Inlet, during his brief business trip
to Seward over the week-end, re
ports the captain of his cannery boat,
Magna I. Wik, and Engineer P. Hub
bard, saved the lives of six Filipinos,
cannery employes, about a week ago.
The Filipinos were crossing the
mouth of the Kenai river in a dory
when a sudden blow from the south
west came up, capsizing the boat.
The crew of the Magna were watch
ing the dory when it capsized and
quickly sped out to the rescue of the
six men. Heavy combers were run
ning, Mr. Magill stated, there really
being considerable danger attached
to the rescue which was accomplish
ed in about 15 minutes.
The entire population of Kenai vil
lage, nearby, was lined up atop of
the high cut bank, watching the
clinging men on the capsized dory,
rescued by Captain Wik and Engi
neer Hubbard. Mr. Magill said the
men took a chance in losing their
power boat, as aside from the heavy
sea running, the particular location
where the men in the water were,
was in shallow water and rocky
bottom.
Speaking of conditions at the sal
tery Mr. Magill said another car
go of mild cured herring went south
yesterday yesterday on the steamer
Yukon. This makes the fifth ship
ment of this size this season.
The Seward Trading Company is
the most recent of local concerns who
have tossed their hats into the ring
vowing and declaring they will walk
off with the first prize in the window
display contest.
