MAYOR OF PELICAN,
HIS SON, MISSING
IN SHIP WRECK
Helvig Christinson, Lone
Survivor, Badly Frozen,
Is Flown to Juneau
• --
"A man learns to pray when
he’s sure there's no hope for him,'
Helvig Christinson, survivor of the
shipwrecked Dixie, said through
blackened and swollen lips this
morning from his bed at St, Ann's
Hospital. He is suffering with
frozen feet and hands.
Christinson, a machine shop op
erator at Pelican, left a week ago
today with Fred Wetche and 14
year-old Fred Junior, who are still
missing, to go on a hunting trip
to Bingham Cove on the west side
of Chichagof Island. They planned
to return last Wednesday. Wetche,
mayor of Pelican and head of the
Trollers Union there, owned the
Dixie.
"We were underway in heavy
seas when the boat gave a lurch
*and the motor stopped," Christin
scn explained. "We found that a
battery had been thrown against
the carbureter and broke it. The
anchor wouldn't hold and we start
ed to drift toward Yakobi Rock at
about 15 miles an hour. Then we
struck a reef. It took only about
25 minutes for the seas to wreck
the beat.
"We took to the skiff. It swannef
and we struck out for the rock. 1
made it and thought I saw the boy.
but evidently he didn't make it.
The wind was high and the waves
pounded. It was cold.
"I thought I was gone after
three days of freeezing or. that
rock so I gave up and started to
pray. After awhile I heard a mo
tor and started to yell. Betty and
Marie Mork and Tom Allaine in
their troller heard me and took me
in. That was Friday night. I should
be out there looking for Fred and
Buddy," he said wearily. Mrs.
Christinson is with him.
Today an intense search is con
tinuing by the Coast Guard cutter
Cahuone and fi\L or more local
boats searching the shorelines in
the vicinity. A CG plane from
Annette patroled the area yes
terday with negative results.
Christinson was flown here by
Alaska Coastal. Dr. J. O. Rude i.
in attendance.
Searchers for the Wetches re
ported locating the wreck of tht
Dixie on Yakobi Rock today, but nc
traces of the father or son.
