2 Books About Raider
Of Whaling Fleet Given
University of Alaska
In 1865 the Confederate cruiser
“Shenandoah” wreaked havoc
with the United States whaling
fleet in Arctic waters and at one
time seized 23 vessels. The ex
ploits of the raider have cap
tured the imagination of Alas
kans and others.
Two books, written 81 years
apart, were recently donated to
the University of Alaska. They
summarized the cruiser’s activ
ities.
“The Cruise of the Shenan
doah” was written by one of
her officers, Cornelius E. Hunt,
and published in 1867. The
other book, “Dixie Raider,” was
written by Murray Morgan in
1948.

WET WEATHER
ACROSS NATION
(By The Associated PressI
A fashion nbte from the
weather man: keep your umbrel
las and raincoats handy.
Wet weather—ranging from
booming thunderstorms to pre
summer showers—was forecast
for most of the nation.
An umbrella might have been
handy, but hardly practical in
such a spot as Bandera County,
Texas, yesterday. The 24-hour
rainfall there was measured at 20
inches.
Storm-wary Texans got so edgy
that they reported clearly seeing
a tornado funnel. But the
weather bureau said it was a mir
age caused „<by a cloud fragment
dangling in front of the setting
sun.
Frigid weather gripped the
northern states, nearly on the
eve of approaching summer.
Pellston, Mich., had a 30 degree
reading and the mercury touched
the freezing mark of 32 at
Oneonta in the Catskill section
of New York.
Forecasters said two major
areas expected to be free of wet
weather today are sections of the
Pacific Coast and the Atlantic f
coastal strip.
