EADIE RANDALL, Prop.
brother of Mrs. Hergatt, the lat
ter generally known locally as
Candy.
Edith Seeley on the “Rose
Marie” called for help because
of a lost screw and the “Nancy”
took the “Rose Marie” on tow.
Mrs. Seeley told Hergatt about
another disabled fishing boat,
the “Ron Vicki” out of Kenai,
which was swamped out by the
south end of Kalgin Island. The
crew sat on the cabin all night,
two miles off the beach, and were
picked up by the “Nancy” next
day. Both boats were towed for
a couple of miles.
Bsl! Sedey on “Xeleine" then
set out to pick up the “Rose
Marie” which Marion cut loose
so he could tow the “Ron Vicki”
to the south end of Kalgin Island
where it was tied to a barge. The
“Rose Marie” drifted nearly to
Homer before Bill caught up with
the boat his wife was on and
towed it back.
In the meantime the “Nancy”
relieved the “Sea River.” owned
and operated by Louie Wiggins,
of 400 salmon so he could finish
picking his nets.
When it was all over, Marion
said he forgot to take any pic
tures; there was just too much
going on and the Samsels had
had enough excitement for the
rest of the summer.
