FIRE DESTROYS
UNKNOWN BOAT
IN ICY STRAITS
Local Fishermen Bring Word
of Three Hour Fire on
Craft Thursday Night.
—
Word of the burning of a boat be |
tween The Sisters and the mainland ,
in ley Straits Thursday night, was)
brought to Juneau last night by Art
Nelson and Walter Benson, who
came in on their halibut fishing boat
T-46. They were tasting gear off
Spasslcaia Island when they first
sighted what appeared to be a burn
ing bout about 8 o'clock in the (“veil
ing. They could not ascertain the
distance between them and tin: boat
but think it to have been about eight
miles. Nelson said. The fire burned
about three hours and evidently de
stroyed the craft to the water's edge
Nelson and Benson put in at Spass
kaia Cove shortly after they sighted
the fire and found the Cordelia I)
there with Captain Trevor Davis
aboard. Nelson said that when hi
and Benson first saw the fire they
were not certain it was a boat, but
when they watched it with Davis, us |
ing glasses, they decided it could be j
nothing else.
Neither boat went to the scene,
as the men knew other fishing ves
sols and tannery tenders were in |
closer distance to the burning craft
Nelson said. The two men left the
cove before there was light enough
lo see the spot where the boat had
burned.
No other reports of the fire had
been received in Juneau late this
afternoon.

See Moose.
Perched in a big spruce tree, in
the fiats across the river from thn
camp, they had to wait only a
short time before the moose came
into right. Attracted by the call
sent out by one of the two Indian
guides one cf the moose came to
within 123 feet of the tree and a
splendid moving picture was filmed
by Mr. t’arow.
“The Taku River country is a
wonder land to the outdoor man,"
said Dean Russell. “Within a few
years it will be one of the most
popular retorts In the north and
