FOR ARECREATIONAL
HIKE NTO WOODS
John Meyers, 16, student of the
Anchorage Schools who was tem
porarily employed as a section
hand on the Alaska Railroad left
his fellow workmen quartered at
the Bird station of the railroad
Sunday morning, presumably for
a recreational hike and has not
been heard of since causing great
worry along the railroad and in
Anchorage where his parents re
Grave assumption is that he
perhaps fell into one of the many
abandoned prospect holes in the
immediate vicinity or slipped into
Turnagain Arm with its turbulent
Cook Inlet waters which skirts
the Alaska Railroad for some dis
tance.
Yesterday 93 persons from An
chorage led by the lost youth’s
father arrived at Bird to search
for him.
Johnny Meyers, when he strode
away from the section house is
said to have carried only a hunt
ing knife. Fears are also held
that he may have been a victim
of quick-sand or a brown bear.

AWAITED REMANDER OF FLEET
AT BARREN ISLAND; RE
TURN TO SEWARD
i The thre salmon power-trollers
which had failed to arrive in Ko
diak the forepart of the week
| and which the Baronof Mild Cure
I Company is waiting for arrived in
I Seward the other day to find
; out what was wrong with the
I Baranof Mild Cure Company.
It appears that there was a
! misunderstanding on the part
| of one division of the flotilla but
the three salmon-trollers which
arrived in port the other day un
derstood that they were to await
the arrival of the barge, the tug
boat Lemmes, and the four other
salmon-trollers at Barren Island,
which is about half-way on the
route between Kodiak and Seward.
However when the flotilla failed
to show up the three trollers re
turned to Seward thinking that
perhaps engine trouble was delay
ing their arrival.
In Seward, through the columns
of the Gateway, they learned that
the flotilla had arrived in Kodiak
and was awaiting the arrival of
their three salmon-trollers.
