FBGM SEARCH COAST
MISSING SCHOONER
The coast guard cutter Unalga,
returned to Juneau after a, six-dai
cruise to the Westward in search of
the missing halibut schooner Kan
atak, reports the Empire. The en
^re coast from Cape Spencer ro
Cape St. Elias as well as the islands
the missing schooner. A masthead
in the Gulf of Alaska were thor
oughly combed without a trace of
the Kanatak being found. The
Unalga noted two schooners, the
Atlas and Attu, also searching for
lookout was maintained thruout
the cruise.
The Unalga left Juneau shortly
after daybreak, December 3. Clear
ing Cape Spencer, she steamed close
to shore as far as Cape St. Elias.
She continued cruising westward !
to Point Martin, which she reach- :
ed December 5. She continued
cruising along the mainland to
Hinchinbrook Island, thence across
to Montague I land, taking a good
look at Seal Rocks enroute. The
southeast shore of Montague Is
land was thoroughly covered, the
effectiveness cf the search being
aided by a smooth sea and clear !
weather.
Here the Unalga encountered the !
halibut schooners Atlas and Attu, j
which were also engaged in the
search for the Kanatak. The Atlas
had cruised the mainland around
Cape Yakataga and Cape St. Elias. j
Her captain told Lieut. Haugen j

lotes it was found that these hoa x
| iad covered the identical grounc
,1hat the Unalga had searched ov
her first cruise, while looking fa
the Seabird. The Attu’s captain is
a brother to the captain of the
missing Kanatak.
i The Unalga continued Westward
from Montague Island, steaming
| close to shore and looking into
every bay. The Unalga then turned
back and proceeded to Juneau. j
| According to Lieut. Haugen, ex
perienced mariners say that any- ;
'thing which goes adrift off Cape
St. Elias generally goes ashore on
Montague Island. The fact that
no trace of the Kanatak was found
in the vicinity of Montague leads
to the belief that the Kanatak may
have foundered in the heavy sea
which wrecked the Seabird.

PARIS, Dec., 21, (VP)—It takes j
more ermines than it u ed to for an j
ermine coat. The chief reason is !
that some of the most exclusive
furriers are dovetailing the skins
so that the seams do not show, a
process which entails much wast
age.
Black ermine is the newest thing
in the fur market.
Nearly half of the fatal mine ac
cidents in the United States are
caused by falls of mine roof and
coal.

LIN AN, France, Dec., 21, (TP)—
Idleness should be taxed, thinks the
city council. It thinks so strongly
on the subject that it passed this
resolution *
“In order to put an end to a social i
injustice and no longer to put a1
premium on laziness; and inasmuch
as a tax on wages burdens workers;
Parliament without delay should
register and the receiver of the
institute a luxury tax on idleness.”
