SI NCIC ON SECOND
SECTION OF TREK
BEGUN JUNE, 1949
Paul Sincic, who began his pho
I tographic trek on fo9t to the inter
j ior two years ago, started on the
'second chapter of his trip Wednes
I clay when he was taken by dory
I from Skagway across Taiya Inlet to
Burro Creek.
His tentative route from Skagway
will be westerly up Burro Creek
1 and across Perebee Glacier and
Chilkoot River to Klukwan. From
there, Sincic will cross the Chilkat
I and Klehini Rivers near Wells then
southwesterly to cross the Tsirku
River and continuing south to Gla
cier Bay. From Glacier Bay he
hopes to reach Yakutat in three to
: five months.
“From Glacier Bay my route will
be exceptionally tenuous as there
are so many glaciers and high
mountain peaks that I’ll have fo
feel' my way. To make it even more
difficult, I haven’t been able to ob
tain a map of the area between
| Glacier Bay and Yakutat,” Sincic
said.
No Course Planned
Sincic gives two reasons for not
* planning a definite course so that
| a search party could attefnpt loca
ting him if he does no slww up in
three or four months. *The first
reason is that the terrain he is to
traverse is so mountainous and
glaciated that a person cannot
travel "as the crow Flies,” he said.
His route, he noted, must be altered
day by day according to the obstac
les confronting him.
His second reason is that since
his trek is a photographic one, he
must change his route from time
to time depending upon what he
considers photographic possibilities
of the country he will be going
through.
Assuming Hazards
“Both reasons I have given rule
out the idea of a search party if
I fail to show up after three or
four months. If I get into any trou
ble, I’ll try to signal a plane. If
that isn’t possible, then no search
party could locate me either. That’s
one of the hazards I'm willing to
assume,” Sincic said.
His equipment has been increased
in that Sincic has added bear paw
snowshoes, ice crampons, ice pick,
light fur parka for the higher coun
try, and about 15 pounds of food
including dehydrated vegetables,
yellow corn meal and white biscuit
flour. He expects to bring down
game with his 30-30 carbine and a
22 rifle.
Sincic said that his pack is ac
tually built around his photographic
equipment. His film, a speed graph
ic camera, tripod, 35mm camera,
filters and other photographic
equipment weigh about 30 pounds. I
He hopes to cover the approxi- ]
mate 300 miles to Yakutat in three |
to five months.
In the first week of June, 1949,1
Sincic left Juneau on his photo
graphic trek that he still hopes will
take him to the upper Koyukuk
River in the Endicott Mountains of
the Brooks Range within the Ar
tie Circle.
At that time he spent 55 days
on the trail to Comet on the north
end of Berner’s Bay. During the
time he traveled on this first seg
ment of his trip, no contact was
made with anyone until he met
Lawrence Frank who was caretaker
at Comet Mine number two on Ber
ner’s Bay.
After returning to Juneau from
Berner’s Bay, Sincic went to Skag
way and covered part of the area
from Skagway back toward the bay
area. He has been working in Skag
way since then.

Defense is your job, too!
Searching our coastal waters for
unidentified submarines, this
Navy blimp pilot is constantly on
the alert to protect American shores. His blimp carries
the most effective airborne detection gear in the world,
enabling him to pinpoint and track a target even when
it is submerged. And he is doing a vitally important
job in defense of America.
Defense is your job, too. And one of the best ways
for you to do your part is by keeping yourself and
your country economically strong. Buy U. S. Defense*
Bonds now and regularly. Go to the pay office where
you work and sign up for the Payroll Savings Plan or
join the Bond-A-Month Plan where you bank. But
don’t put it off—do it todayl
The U. S. Defense Bonds yon buy
give you personal financial independence
Remember that when you’re buying Defense Bonds you’re
building a personal reserve of cash savings. Money that
will some day buy you a house or educate your children,
or support you when you retire. Remember, too, that if
you don’t save regularly, you generally don’t save at all.
So go to your company’s pay office—now—and sign up to
buy Defense Bonds through the Payroll Savings Plan.
Don’t forget that bonds are now a better buy than ever.
Because now every Series E Bond you own automatically
goes on earning interest every year for 20 years from date
of purchase instead of 10 as before! This means that the
bond you bought for $18.75 can return you not $25—but
as much as $33.33—if you just hold it the extra ten years!
A $37.60 bond pays $66.66. And so on. For your security,
and your country’s, too, buy U. S. Defense Bonds now!
*U. S. Savings Bonds are Defense Bonds
Buy them regularly!
