BOSUN BOQQ8 TO
RIVAL'S RESCUE
What might have boon a very
serious acicdent occurred 011 Res
urrection bay recently. The crew
of the A. F. P. Co., were taking
their outfit out preparatory to
setting it for a haul and over
estimated the capacity of their
dory. When out some distance
from shore the dory filled and
started to sink. It filled, but the
buoyancy of the load kept it afloat
although both occupants were
plunged in to the icy waters of
the bay. Capt. Boggs, of the good
ship Walrus, happened to be
scanning the horizon with his
trusty glass looking for signs of
fish and seeing the plight of his
fellow fishermen, clapped on all
steam and putting the binnacle
on the port tack bore down on
the unfortunates with all sails
set. He arrived in the prover
bial nick of time and soon had
all hands safe and sound on
board the Walrus. The outfit
•was rescued and landed at the A.
F. P. factory with no more ser
ious results than a good wetting.
