Kachemak
Bay Claims
Victim
The icy waters of Kachemak
Bay near Homer claimed the life
of Carl ,Sullivan, 74, of Ketchikan
and closed over the fishing vessel
"Eunice” early Sunday, March 11.
The boat burned about three
hours before sinking-.
Another fishing boat, the "San
dra,” owned by George Tsehert
ner of Seldovia, also went
aground in the heavy seas near
the entrance of the new boat har
bor at Homer. She was salvaged
last Monday but extent of dam
ages has not been determined.
K. L. "Red” Cleaver reportedly
risked his life in a fruitless effort
to rescue Sullivan.
A boat, drifting in the bay, was
noticed at about 7 a.m. by “Unk”
Chapman, who was assisting the
crew on the new construction un
derway at Land's End,
Chapman was about to call for
help when a puff of smoke caught
■his eye as he scanned the water
against the brilliance of the early
morning sun and he saw the "Eu
nice” was on fire. He summoned
Earl Hillstrand and Cleaver and
a small boat was launched, Hill
stranded waded into the susrf
above his waist in order to guide *
the boat until "Red" could start
the motor.
Sullivan was seen standing in a
small skiff. A large wave caught ’
the skiff and threw Sullivan into
the water where he clung for a
time to the boat.
Before Cleaver could maneuver
to the scene through the rough
seas and buffeting a 46-mph wind,
Sullivan released his grip on the
skiff and disappeared beneath the
turbulent waters.
Pete Lenz, Public Utility Dis
trict dock manager, said the "'Eu
nice” bad been tied to the pier
earlier in the morning. It is be
lieved she may have broken loose.
fnst noticed
by Chapman was the ‘‘Suzie Q,”
owned by C. B. Abbott, She had
been secured tr> the "Eunice” the
previous night. The “Suzie Q”
was picked up by the “Teal” and
towed to the Seldovia harbor later
in the day.
Mark Dog Trails
Marking- of dog team trails is
one of the little known functions
of Alaska’s Division of Highways
and is one that, is probably unique
to highway programs throughout
the United States,
Approximately 220 miles of
trail are staked out each year in
the Kotzebue, Golvin, Teller,
Dee ring and Savoonga areas.
With the staking of dog team
trails from Cambell to Savoonga
and f om Deering to Candle, trail
marking was completed for the
year in the Nome district.
Tom Mahan.
A1 Buonassissi, Soldotna, who
is working with the group as a
“stand-in” actor, is handling pub
licity and ticket sales in the Ke
nai-Soldotna area. Tickets are
available at Parker's Barber
Shop, Ridgeway, where Buonas
sissi is employed and in other
area business establishments.
Harry says:
After taking his friend
through some hair-raising
maneuvers, the daring pi
lot remarked, “No doubt
half the people down there
thought we were going to
crash.”
Stammered his shaken
companion, “Half the peo
ple up here thought so,
too.”
