ADRIFT AT SEA
FOR 31 DAYS
IN SMALL ROAT
(From Petersburg Herald)
The eight ton seining boat Hilda of
the Hetta Packing Company, located
on the west coast of Prince of Wales
Island, which drifted at sea for thirty
one days, made Pillar Bay Thursday,
January 15, where she became strand
ed and the crew picked up.
Of the three men on board when
she left Ketchikan on the night of
December 14, two remain alive though
in a weakened condition.
Those abord the boat were Albert
Johnson. Charles Richardson( better
known as Port Wine Charley) and Ed
ward Thornton (who is known as
Copper Mountain Shorty). The lattei
is reported to have been lost.
According to reports received here
Saturday, those on board were bound
for Copper Harbor. Hetta Island, from
Ketchikan. They left late on the
night of December 14, and it is said
that none of the men aboard knew
anything about starting or operating a
gas engine.
There wras a load of supplies on
the boat and large water tanks had
been fitted up. There was also a
quantity of sailcloth on board.
Two of the men were old whalers,
so it is evident that sails w’ere used
as a means to get back to land. Altho
nothing definite is known as the pres
ent time, the coast guard boats had
given them up for lost.
F. A. Cloudy of the Hetta Packing
Company and part owner of the boat
passed through Petersburg Sunday on
i heir way from Ketchikan to Pillar
Bay.

Ketchikan, had been stranded, an
nounced that the engine of the boat
is in perfect running order and also
that outside of leaking badly the boat
is not damaged. He also reported
that Thorton may be safe.
Thorton made shore at Cape Orn
maney "when the boat became be
calmed within 600 yards of shore, and
was not seen again. He said he was
going to get some water, and took the
small boat with him.
The men state that on several oc
casions they were blown near to the
shore but were blown off again. Sails
were used as a means of getting back.

For Strong
Sturdy Foxes
Raise the Pups on
FOX MEAL
This is a nutritious ration,
balanced to develop the
fox’s body as well as to
produce on it a first class
or prime pelt. Fed to the
vixen before the pups are
born it stimulates milk flow
and subsequent feeding
keeps her strong and the
pups will learn quickly to
eat it themselves.
Analysis shows it to have
the same feeding value as
milk. It is easily prepared,
being pre-cooked during
manufacture. Just mix one
pound of it with a gallon
of warm water. This gruel
will equal whole milk as a
feed and costs much less.
You’ll find your young
foxes thrive under it and
relish it.
Use It in Making Fox Mulligan
One-half pound fed with 1 gallon of prepared
Mulligan insures continued good health for the
older foxes.
Pre-cooked in the making—requires no boiling.
Just add warm water—It’s ready.

QUESTIONS AND-ANSWERS
Dear Editor: Since your ‘column
is open for discussion would you
please set me right on an argument
I have with a friend. The question
is: “Is the expression “a pair of
twins” correct when a person means
one ‘set’ of twins.”—L. Q.
Some discussion has been going
on concerning the meaning of the
[expression “a pair of twins.” One
[authority claims the expression is
all right, while others say “a pair
of” is superfluous; that the one
word twins means exactly the same
as “a pair of twins” means four per
sons, or two sets of twins. Now
would one of Mrs. Smith’s twins and
one of Mrs. Brown’s twins make a
pair of twins. One Smith twin and
one Brown twin would make two
twins. Two make a pair, so it seems
that these two would make a pair
of twins. Next!
Showing contempt for the super
stition that the number 13 is un
lucky, fliers from the Thirteenth
Air Squadron, not only carry their
squadron number, but also have the
figure of a skeleton painted on their
airplanes.

W. Nichols, editor and philanthro
pist of Jacksonville, 111., the entire
city joined in a celebration in his
honor.

Failures in Life Are
Cause Marriage Failures
LONDON, Feb. 13—“Marriage is not
| a failure. Some folks call themselves
! failures and failure is their lot, but
^ sane and ordinary people must not
! allow the odd ones to make the rule,”
| says former Premier Ramsey MacDon
; aid, writing in the Optimist, a paper
edited by his daughter, Isabel in the
| interests of a hospital charity.
“We should conspire to protect
i them against that deceitful and devas
tating old ruffian False Romance,
who hangs a Dunmow Flitch in front
' of their noses, as carrots are hung
i in front of donkeys, to lead them
j astray. Marriage without common
I sense and good humor is risky ven
ture, but there is plenty of both in the
| world, so we need not despair.”

SINGLE-HANDED TENNIS HELPS
PLAYERS IMPROVE GAME
I BERKELEY, Feb. 13.—The latest
jsport to be introduced at the Univer
sity of California is “solitary tennis.”
The court for this game consists ot
a green board wall with a horizontal
line painted three feet above the
ground to represent the top of tin
net. The player stands behind an
other line drawn on the ground 2^
feet from the board. From here the
ball is served against the wall above
the white line. When it bounces
back, the racket wielder returns tin
ball, trying to hit the wall above tin
white line. If the ball hits below
it is counted a net ball and served
again.
The game is popular with co-eds.
who have found it increases tin
swiftness of their strokes and devel
ops accuracy in placing the ball and
agility in following it around tin
court. Some of them use the stunt,
as practice for tournaments.
