ing to a company in Sail Francisco,
was caught in a gale near Cherno
{ hour island, one of the Shumagin

, olf iter deck. She then made for
squaw harbor on the I'nga island and
was there blown ashore. The steamer
Dora threw her a line and towed her
into deeper water where she secured
safe anchorage.
The O.arina, a three mast schooner
in charge of Captain Koehler, be

TODD AND COLEMAN ARE
RUNNING CAMP COMFORT
C. J. Todd, who used to be there,'
and Lufe Ccleman, who while new in
this particular place is nevertheless
widely known to residents in this
part of Alaska, art' now in charge of
Camp Comfort, the roadhouse nearest
to Valdez. Last fall Todd disposed
of his interest in Camp Comfort and i
went outside, but he found less com- !
fort in the states than he had ex-1
pectcd, and so came back, joined
business fortunes with Mr. Coleman j
and they are now established in
Todd's former place of business.
Under the management of Todd j
and Coleman Camp Comfort is he
coining a favorite rendezvous for |
residents of Valdez who are fond of
sleigh riding. The trail is in fine '
shape and Camp Comfort is a line j
place to end a ride and to stop fori
dinner. Every Sunday finds Camp |
Comfort housing a goodly number of
persons who have made the ten-mile
trip for pleasure. The new manage
ment has reduced to 7"> cents the
charge for a meal, and the food j
placed upon the table is very satis- ,
fying after the ten-mile drive through
the crisp winter air.

from the lire. When hot I applied a
wax candle to the surface, covering
it all over. The snow then would
