The fishing boat Sofee II arrived
here Sunday morning from Seattle
and will be used as a tender by the
Valdez Packing Company. The Sofee
made the trip north under her own
power, carrying a crew of six men,
and experienced a thrilling voyage.
Everything went along well until she
arrived off Yakutat. when the Intake
j manifold on the engine broke dur
ing a heavy gale, and for fifty hours
the little craft lay helpless at the
j mercy cf the storm. The huge rollers
j broke over her. threatening mo.neii
j tariely to swamp her, but she is a
i staunch little craft and despite her
J tremendous buffeting she rode out the
storm. In the meantime the crew tied
j managed to repair the broken mani
I told and she once more proceeded on
her voyage, arriving here in good
[shape. The Sofee II is a craft of 15
'tons displacement, 38 feet long, 12.9
[beam and 4.9 feet depth of hold. She
'is powered with 25-horse power Un
ion engines.
