THE GIANT
A STORY FROM UNALAKLEET
(From the 18th Annual BAE Report)
PART THREE
The boy grew rapidly and ex
celled all of his youthful com
panions in strength, agility, and
marksmanship. He was named Ili
nak, in memory of the giant. Then
l,y (!■ give.; the husband became
unkind and harsh as he had been
before, until one day he became
so on rag- d that he caught up a
large stick to bent his wife. She
ran out of the house in fear, but
slipped and fell just outside, and
her husband was close upon her
when she remembered the giant
and called “Kinak! Kinak! come
to me." Scarcely had she said these
words when a terrible blast of
wind passed over her, blowing her
husband away, and he was never
seen again.
The years passed until Kinak
grew to be a handsome and pow
erful young man and became a
very successful hunter, but he had
a fierce and cruel temper. One
evening he came home and told
his mother that he had qarreled
with two of his companions and
had killed both of them. His moth
er remonstrated with him, telling
of the danger he would be in from
the blood revenge of the relatives
of the murdered man. Time went
on, and the matter seemed to be
forgotten.
Again Kinak came home with a
tale of having killed a companion.
After this every few days he would
quarrel with someone and end by
killing him; at last he had killed
so many people that his mother re
fused to permit him to live with
her any longer. He seemed greatly
surprised at this, saying, “Are you

not my mother? How is it that you
can thus treat me?”
“Yes,” she replied, “1 am your
mother, but your evil temper has:
ended in killing or driving away |
all our friends. Everyone hates j
and fears you and soon no one i
will be left living in in \ llage j
except old women and. children. |
Co away; leave this place, for it
w 11 be better for all of u.
Kinak made no ply, 'out for j
some time he hunt d (■■no ually !
until he had filled hi.; moth t's
storehouse with food and skins.
Then he went to her, saying. “Now
that I have provided you w;’h food
and skins, as was my duty, I am 1
ready to leave,” and he went forth.
By chance he took the same
road his mother had traveled dur
ing her flight, and came at last to
the giant’s head. When the giant
understood that he was the son of
the woman who had been there
he permitted the young man to i
stay on his face, but told him never
to come about his lips, for if he
ventured there evil would befall
him.
For some time Kinak lived there
quietly, but at last made up his
mind to go upon the giant’s lip
and see what was there. After a
great deal of hard work in get
ting through the tangled thicket
of beard on the giant’s chin, he
reached the mouth. The moment
he stepped upon the lips and ap
proached the opening between them
a mighty blast of wind swept forth
and he was hurled into the air
and never seen again.
The giant still lives in the north,
although no one has ever been to
him since that day; but whenever
he breathes the fierce snow-drift
ing north winds of winter make his
existence known.

“Best Water In Alaska'
Two Alaska Steamship
Vessels to he Modified
To Carry Highway Vans
Conversion of two Alaska Steam
ship Company cargo liners into full
van ships for the Seattle-Seward
run will commence next month.
D. E. Skinner, president of the
company, said this week.
“This is part of a two million
dollar van-hand!’,]?* expansion pro
gram,” Skinner said.
In addition to converting the
steamships TON SIN A and NADI
NA, Alaska Steam is equippin ■: the j
steams-: ip SOUTHPORT, pur
chased earlier this year, to handle
40 vans, and is purchasing addi
tional vans and chassis as well as
a Clark super van carrier.
“This is our greatest individual
stride toward complete container
ization since we pioneered van
service to Alaska in 1953,” Skinner
said.
All masts and cargo-handling
gear will be removed from the
TONSINA and NADJNA to make
room for more cargo, and van
storage cells will rise from the
decks, providing for the carriage
of vans tiered up to three high
there.
When converted each ship will
handle 175 24-foot units, nearly
doubling its present capacity.
“This will give us the capacity
of carrying to Seward more than
13,700 24-foot van and platform
! units a year,” Skinner said. “That’s
up 4,400 from our present max
imum,” he noted, “and should help
us meet the growing demand for
van transport by self-propelled
ships,” he said.
The van ships will be loaded and
unloaded by huge shore-side
cranes. Two are soon to be in
stalled at the mammoth new Port
of Seattle terminal, Pier 46. The
Alaska Railroad has already in
stalled two at Seward for the op
eration there.
Below deck the “conversions”
will utilize especially engineered
dollies, which will roll vans “two
up” on tracks from the squares to
the wings of the holds.
All ship work in the present
program is being performed by
Alaska Steam’s maintenance and
repair division. The SOUTHPORT
job is already under way at Pier 42.

S&M> l!kIB©OT Churches
Modern building materials, such as metal, glass and concrete, have
forged a revolution in church architecture. Plaster-covered metal
lath has enabled architects to design beautiful low-cost, durable
modern houses of worship. ■»
Early Christian churches were
low, fort-like structures, built
of stone and timber. Support
of roofs and ceilings was
made possible only by ex
tremely thick walls. Windows
and doors were small and
jL few. Short columns cluttered
j the dark and gloomy interiors
tjff of these early medieval
j i churches.
II.
As masonry construction im
proved in the late middle
ages, churches grew taller,
more graceful. Gothic
churches such as Amiens ca
thedral in France were high
ceilinged and spacious, with
natural light pouring through
many windows.
