GALE SNAPS MAST
ON THE PROGRESS
.The fishing schooner Progress,
which made Valdez her headquarters
last summer, reached Seattle on Dec.
10 with part of her rigging gone. The
boat was caught in a storm at Dixon’s
Entrance and the foremast snapped
at the base and carried a section of
the vessel’s railing with it. The crew,
worked like demons for a few min
utes cutting away the rigging in the
darkness and soon had the wreckage
cleared away. When the boat reacn
ed Seattle it was reported that a shot
from a British gunboat had carried
away the mast but Capt. Mike Meagh
er denied the story.
