MAURICE KING IS
OFF BAFFIN ISLAND
BOUND FOR HERE
A famous Alaska bush pilot has
made a fine name for himself on
the other side of the continent, ac
cording to a recent issue of The
Montreal Star.
Maurice King, formerly of Fair
banks and Kotzebue, but now a
resident of Juneau, is credited with
much of the success of an import
ant Arctic Institute expedition on
Baffin Island.
Col. P. D. (Pat) Baird, Canadian
co-director of the Institute, who
has been here in connection with
work on Seward and Malaspina
Glaciers, was pictured and inter
viewed in a story more than a col
umn long. , .
Quoting from The Star: "The
expedition leader praised the pilot,
Maurice King, who, he said, could
make the Institute's Norseman do
practically everything except stand
still in the air.
"Much of the success of the ex
pedition, Colonel Baird said, was
due to the facility with which the'
party of 20 and supplies were mov
ed about the island on the airplane.
“The Royal Canadian Air Force
gave the expedition a speedy start
by flying the main groups in, trav- ‘
eling to Goose Bay, Frobisher Bay
and then Clyde Inlet, expedition
headquarters for the five base
camps. This point is located about
midway on the east coast of Baf
fin Island, well above the Arctic
Circle.’’
Staying at the beautiful Wind-!
sor Hotel in Montreal, Maurice
King again sends greetings to his
Juneau friends, whom he hopes
to see the first week in October.
He will remain in Montreal while
work is being done on the airplane
at the Norseman factory and while
awaiting arrival of the wheels and
skis by boat. He used floats to
come from the 90-by-40-mile ice
cap.
Of his part in the expedition, the
veteran Alaska bush pilot writes:
"The summer turned out very well
for me, as well as for the Institute.
As long as they got back, it was
successful from my point of view.
They did much more work than
they had expected.’’
King has been pilot for the Arc
tic Institute for the two seasons
the scientists worked on Seward
Glacier, where research will be con
tinued next summer.
Colonel Baird, who left Montreal
in May as a clean-shaven "long,
lean drink of water,” returned from
Baffin with luxuriant beard—and
an extra 10 pounds.
He said the 1950 expedition was a
highly successful one, research
concentrating chiefly in a heavy
scientific program of geology, glac
iology and biology.
No oil was detected, but the party
collected many specimens which in
dicate ore of economic value. Thou
sands of specimens, which may take
two years to "work up,” as well as
voluminous data on a largely un
explored territory (scientifically
speaking) will be landed at Que
bec late this month by the C.G.S.
vessel C .D. Howe.
Colonel Baird will discuss many
of his findings in a series of lect
ures on "Polar Regions and the
Canadian North” sponsored by fa
mous McGill University.

LIGHT TRAFFC ON
HAENES HIGHWAY;
WATEyECEDING
Rumors have been flying about
the condition of the Haines High
way, causing both the Alaska Road
Commission and the Territorial
Highway Engineer to arrange for
first-hand reports.
George M. Tapley, chief of the
ARC engineering division, flew to
Haines today, planning to come back
tomorrow, and Highway Patrolman
A1 Lubcke of Haines was expected
to report to his chief, Frank A. Met
calf, on arrival late this afternoon.

Calls a YELLOW”
PHONE 22 OR 14 FOR A
YELLOW CAB
Meantime, both offices say that j
reports are greatly exaggerated.
The road is still passable for light
traffic over the Big Boulder Creek
bridge, which had been reported
washed out. Metcalf expects the ap
proaches, which were partly washec
out, to be ready for general traffic
j by Wednesday. Some of the fills in
I that area were undermined and the
blacktop was cracked, but not too
j much to hold up light traffic.
Boulder Creek is at about Mile 35,
on the Alaska side.
The Canadians have had the
more serious problem, as a second
slide at Mile 43, just over the border
was said to have blocked the road
again.
Road Commission engineers un
derstood that Canadians expected
to complete repairs by today.
Returning from Haines, Highway
Patrol Sgt. John Monagle of Juneau
reported that the Chilkat River
overflow caused “higher water than
ever before.” For two days, it came
in at the rate of four inches an
hour.
The flash flood resulted from the
melting of deep snow by a Chinook
wind and rain.
Flood danger is about over, ac
cording to Metcalf, who says the
water is going down at about two
feet an hour.
Returning from the area Satur
day, Dan Ralston said the entire
i valley was flooded, adding, “I never
saw so much water.”

FWS SEARCHERS
LOCATE LOST HAN,
DIRECTRESCUERS
“All right but hungry,” after being
lost in the woods most of a week,
Archie Dunbar was glad to be spot
ted by a rescue aircraft Saturday
morning, and he called the emer
gency rations dropped to him "the
finest dinner in my life.”
Having been lost since Tuesday
in the rugged Klahina River Valley
near Haines, Dunbar was located
about 25 miles above Wells, by a
Fish and Wildlife Service air-search
party.
Equipped only with a gun, knife
and matches, Dunbar had shaved
willows and alders and built a
smudge fire.
After communicating with the lost
man, the FWS party flew several
miles up-river to a searchers’ camp
and used aerial drop blocks to ask
the searchers to go downriver by
boat while the aircraft guided them.
This they did, and took Dunbar to
Wells by river boat.
Dunbar, an Oregonian employed
on construction work near Haines
by Lytle and Green, said he had
hiked about eight miles after being
separated from a hunting party
Tuesday. Becoming confused and
realizing he was lost, he stopped in
an open flat space in the river val
ley and kept a small fire going.
Dunbar had gone into the moun
tainous country to assist Jack B.
Gucker and Kenneth Loken, both of
Juneau, in packing out a moose they
had killed. Dunbar started without
a gun, but took one to lighten the
load of one of the hunters. He said
he had “just wandered off.”
FWS officials here received the
search request Friday night from
their Haines agent, Clarence Mat
son, who had been put in charge of
the search by U.S. Commissioner
Ross Hevel.
He was assisted by Highway Pa
trolmen A1 Lubcke, who is stationed
at Haines, and Sgt. John Monagle
of Juneau. They were greatly aided
by residents and hunters, who
I formed a number of search parties.
Aboard the Widgeon aircraft
which went out early Saturday,
piloted by Bob Meek, were Dan Ral
ston, FWS law enforcement super
visor, and Sven (Whitey)! iihorpe.
