Gale Lashes
A! Juneau;
S. E. Alaska
Buildings Wrecked;
Boats Hrimmered;
Slide Comes Close
Hiph winds ranging up to 60 miles
an lmur battered at Juneau and
southeast Alaska yesterday and last
niUit cm: inr hundreds of dollars
of dan.nee in the local area and bat
tered boats and delayed shipping
between here and Ketchikan.
A good sized slide tore a path
down Ml. Roberts at the height of
tlie storm late Sunday, but stopped
before any property damage was
done.
One small boat cap-ized near Ket- \
Chilian and for a time high seas j
stopped attempts to rescue the one
man aboard. Another boat went;
nground north of Ketchikan, and a
Fish and Wildlife service boat, earl
ier reported lost, was found waiting
out the storm in sheltered waters.
Several buildings were wrecked,
and oilier minor damage was re
ported locally. Many windows were
smashed and trees were damaged.
Considerable damage was reported
in the Auko Bay area.
Radio Tower Down
The new radio tower of the FWS
p.t the Subport was blown down by j
high winds last, night,. The tower,
fastened down by six guv wires, was
erected n week ago.
The weather station at the Ju
neau airport said the storm develop
ed about 24 hours ago west of Queen
Charlotte Island. The storm center!
moved into the Sound, then north
east to Ketchikan and Juneau.
The gale hit southern waters near
Ketchikan late Sunday afternoon;
and a small boat capsized in Moss- j
man Inlet. The fishing vessel Faith
ful radioed to the Ketchikan Coast j
Guard station that eight loot seas I
balked all rescue attempts. The1
high seas fell off after the SOS
and the one man aboard the sinking
vessel was brought safely abaard the
Faithful, skippered by G. H. Ken
dall of Ketchikan. The man’s name
was not learned.
The Coast Guard Cutter White
Holly arrived at the Inlet this morn
ing and the survivor was transferred
aboard to be taken into Ketchikan.
l oai Aunu
The Sea Lark, owned by F. L.
Smith of Ketchikan, broke loose
from its moorings in rongass Nar
rows and was reported adrift by
the men stationed at the Guard
Island Light Station, who said that
the 50 foot vessel was being knocked
around by winds blowing at over 00
miles an hour. The ship had no
one aboard and finally went aground
in Bond Bay, 15 miles north of Ket
. chikan. The USCG cutter Hemlock
reported this morning that the boat
had been refloated and was now
anchored safely in Bond Eay.
Reported missing Sunday after
noon at 3 o’clock was the Ibis II,
a small Fish and Wildlife boat,
which was sailing from the Prince
of Wales Island to Ketchikan. The
Polar Bear, a larger FWS craft,
became separated from the Ibis dur
ing the height of the storm and
radioed the dislre. s call. The Ibis
was later found waiting out the
storm in Valanar Bay on Gravina
Island.
Suffers Storm Damage
The Polar Bear suffered greater
storm damage than the small ves
sel as its hatch was washed over
board, the mast broken in two, and
one side of the pilot house smashed.
A pump house at the Standard
Oil yard wa? almost totally wrecked
when ripped from a new founda
tion and dumped over into the flume
which runs by the plant. The pump
house \va ; an older building w hich
had just been moved to a new foun
dation. It had not yet been anch
ored to the foundation and tipped
off when a high gust struck. It w:
thought probable that damage to
the building would run high.
Fresh broken timber can be seen
spotting the hillsides around the
city. Many home owners in Juneau
reported windows bit vn in. A num
ber of trees in the city were damag
ed. There were several reporl of
phone and electric vires down.
Slide Game Close
Juneau police kept watch most
of the night on the slide a twisted
mass of uprooted trees and dirt and
rocks—which swept a ragged path
down from the top of the mount In
to within 51 yards of the house
of Bob Light. I' was Light'- resi
dence which was turned and moved
by a slide about a year ago.
A tump of one of the trees broke
away from the entangled mass of the
main part of the slide and came
to rest on the board .stairs leading to
houses in that area.
It was the opinion of persons in
the area close t to the -lide that
mere good than harm had been
done. It is believed the debri> will
form a bulwark against damage by
future slides.
GO Mile G lists
The U. S. Weather E menu at the
Juneau airport reported that in
stantaneous gust" may have reach
ed velocities close to 60 miles an
hour. At one time during tlv night,
a sustained wind of 44 mile , an
hour blew for five min'...; . The
maximum velocity of one mile cf
measured wind was 46 miit an
hour.
No damage to plane* or buildin; -
was reported at the airport.
