ANITA PHILLIPS
DOWN IN THIRTY
FATHOMS WATER
Wrecked Off Port Snettisham
Last Night — Sunk in 20
Minutes—3 Men Aboard
'At the mercy or a raging wind
when the engine went dead, the
gasoline boat Anita Phillips, Cap:
Tay Bayers, was smashed against
the bluffs at the entrance to Port
Snettisham, on the starboard side o:
Snettisham Inlet, and sunk in 2b:
minutes, in 30 fathoms of water, at ;
7:30 o’clock last night The boat;
was coming from Speel River t >
Juneau.
Captain Tay Bayert, owner and op- j
erator of the Anita Phillips, and Fred
Curtis and Ed Swanson, employees'
of the Alaska Pulp & Paper Company j
mill at Speel River, were aboard. Th •
men reached the shore in safety and
an hour later were taken aboard
the mail boat George, Jr., on the'
way to Juneau from Petersburg and [
way ports, and arrived in town at l:
o'clock today.
No Insurance
Captain Bayers estimates the loss'
of the Anita Phillips to be approxi
mately $0,500. The boat carried not
insurance. Nothing aboard w.i.~
•aved. The loss is almost entirely
to Captain Bayers, little property1
belonging to the pulp company being
aboard. It would be impossible to
raise the boat from the depth in
which It sunk, Captain Bayers said.
“It was not black dark, but we
were bucking a heavy gale in the
Inlet and when we reached the en
trance to Port Snettisham, ihe en
gine went dead,” said Captain Bay
ers. “The wind immediately picked
the boat up and smashed the stern
against the bluffs, breaking the rud
der. As the stern hit the bluffs I
(told Curtis and Swanson to jump
onto the rocks, which they did, with
out injury to themselves With the
rudder broken I was powerless to
do anything but before I could help
myself in any way the boat swung
out, about 100 feet and the wind
lilt it again with tremendous force,
carrying it side on, toward the bluffs
The stern swung in. sinking the
rocks first and caving in the entir’
end.
Sunk Stern First
“Curtis and Swanson called to m 1
that the boat was sinking at the
stern and 1 immediately made ready
to leave. I tried to save some of
my light equipment and n little
cargo I was carrying but thp bo.it
filled with water so rapidly 1 h id no
time to get a thing and when I got
the skiff off the boat I was stand
ing to ray waist in water, t made
it to the rocks where Curtis and
Swanson were and we. pulled the
skiff up on the beach. The Anit
Phillips went down a few minutes
after I left it, sinking stern first,
and was out of sight 20 minute
after the stern was smashed In.
Suffered From Cold
"From where we were on the
heach we could see the light of the
mail boat Gorge. Jr., up the Inlet,
and by burning personal papers of
Curtis’ and Swanson’s, all we had
which would burn, we succeeded in
attracting the attention of the men
aboard the boat. They did not reach
vs for about an hour. It was im
possible to find wood for a fire and
the night was bitterly cold. We
were soaking wet and experienced a
tad hour until the George, Jr., picked
us up.”
Built In Juneau
The Anita Phillips was a 21 gross
and 14 net ton boat. It was 52.3
feet long, 14 feet wide and had »
depth of 4.3 feet. The boat had a
35 horsepower engine.
The boat was built in 1!)0S in Ju
neau, by Captain Jack Rowe. Cap
tain Rowe operated the boat as a
fishing schooner for a number or
years. Captain Bayers purchased
tlie boat two years ago and has been
running it under charter to the Al
aska Pulp & Paper Company.

FRANK SELECTED
A S REFEREE FOR
BOUTS TOMORROW
*
Well Known Local Former
Boxer to Be Third Man in
Ring at Smoker.
Billy Prank, well known former
athlete and boxer, has been selected
as referee for the bouts at the Elks'
Smoker tomorrow night, according
to an announcement made today.
Grover O. Winn and James McClos
key were named as judges and a
third judge will be appointed today.;
and a timekeeper and announcer will
also be selected today.
Mr. Frank is well known to fight
| fans in this district and has par-1
ticipated in many former smokers.
He had a wide experience in the'
light game on the Pacific Coast, |
.net ting some of the best men in the (
ring a number of years ago. “1 con-'
sider him excellently well qualified
to act as third man in the ring,” said
Jack Wilson, in announcing the selec
tion of Mr. Frank. The officials
named are satisfactory to both the
men to meet in the final go of the
evening, said Mr. Wilson.
Ticket sales for the smoker are;
making new records and the demand
for all classes of seats continues!
strong. It is virtually assured that)
a capacity house will turn out for;
the big mitt-fest. The first bout will!
bo put on at 8:30 p. m. sharp and
there will be no stalling between |
bouts to drag out thp evening, said
Mr. Wilson The hall is in readi-1
ness for the smoker, the ring having
been put up yesterday.
Both Butler and Collier are in •top
notch form. The latter is sail to b >:
in the best shape of his career. ”1
have not seen Butler in action, but j
if he wins tomorrow night’s fight,
he will know he has met a real
' ghter.” said one prominent fan to
day after watching Collier work out.;
The local man is said to be fast with
his hands and on his feet and to
have a wallop in both hands.
Butler's adherents, and there'
seems to be as many Butler men as
Collier backers, are not showing any
signs of worry. Some of them are
predicting Butler to win within
three rounds by the kayo route. But
ler has little to say except that he
is in shape to put up a good scrap
and, if Collier is as good as his
record looks and reports say he is.
the. fans are sure to have some real
entertainment.

reeled a mistake made in the original
