Tenakee Topics
(Special Correspondence
TENAKEE, Alaska, March 8
With the mercury at the zero point,
a fierce northeasterly storm lashed
Tenakee Inlet in a cold fury, whip
ping the crests of the choppy se.v
into tortuous spirals of spray. Boat
strained at their moorings and the
shore lines of the Totem Sea Foods
floating cannery parted, swinging
the cannery offshore into the teeth
of the gale where the tautened an
chor cables proved their worth by
holding fast.
Ashore, there was minor damare
.0 chimneys and windows. On the
dock, a row of three by twelve
planks used for decking was up
ended and some twenty of the
large boards were hurtled into the
bay by a sudden gust. It was the
worst northerly storm in Tenakee
for many years.
William Simon was an outbound
passenger via Alaska Coastal en
route to his home in Anchorage
where he is employed at the Army
air base. His two months stay at
the springs proved very beneficial
and Simon plans to return next
fall.
Mrs. Louise Milnes arrived from
Juneau to reestablish her reside, e
here.
Kai Gertsen, of Whitehorse, to
gether with his young son, Cary,
arrived via plane to join his wife
and mother-in-law, Mrs. Stinple,
who have been vacationing at the
springs for the past two month'.
Mr. Gertsen is the owner of the
Yukon Laundry and Dry Clean
ing Service in Whitehorse—the
farthest north establishment of
its kind in the British Empire. He
also owns a laundry in Dawson
City. Mrs. Gertsen is also in busi
ness and operates the Style Sh >p
n Whitehorse.
A surprise party in honor of Mrs.
M. “Granny" Stingle’s 74th birth
day was held at the residence of
Mr. and Mrs. Bob Crow. Granny
Stingle had hoped to spend her
birthday at home in Whitehorse
with her husband but poor flying
weather hampered her plans.
Friends who gathered at the
"Crow’s Nest” for the occasion
were Mr. and Mrs. Joe Mangan.
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Paddock, Mr.
and Mrs. Glen Johnson, Mr. and
Mrs. Dermott O’Toole, Mr. and
Mrs. Kai Gertsen, and H. J. Flcr
c ca. Question and answer games
were played and a light luncheon
served.
The boat Washington, homeward
bound to Hoonah from Sitka called
into Tenakee to await more fav
orable traveling conditions before
venturing further along Chatham
Straits.

Mawsy Notes
From Skagway
(Special Correspondence)
SKAGWAY, Alaska, March 9—
Many of the Skagway residents
lathered along its new airstrip
Thursday evening March 8. about
6 o’clock to watch the arrival of
an Army C-47—the largest ship
that has landed in Skagway, make
a safe landing on an icy field. The
street lights had been turned off
,iiid men were stationed at inter -
v is on both sides the full length
f the airstrip with flares.
Two Skagway’s residents ate
food Wednesday which is suspected
of being poisoned by botulism
Since there was no anti-toxin in
Juneau the tvire was sent to Se
attle and the anti-toxin was .flown
to Annette by a commercial plane
and from tnere ay Army
to Skagway, so it is now on hand
if symptoms of the fatal disease
develop.
All citizens are being warned that
canned vegetables and non acid
fruits to which no preservative has
been added should be boiled ten
minutes before tasted.
The C-47 left immediately after
delivery of the anti-toxin, to re
turn to its base via Jufieau.
Friends here have received word
from Mrs. Delaney in Whitehorse
that her nephew, Micheal Hugh
Tierney, son of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh
Tierney of Portland. Oregon, has
been killed in Korea. Mike, 20 years
old. was a graduate of the Skag
way High School in 1948. Mr. Tier
ney was superintendent of the
White Pass and Yukon for several
years. Mike was with the Marines.
He is survived by one brother, Ter
ry, and three sisters, Patricia, Mary
Kathleen, and Angela.
