IRE DROWNQED REVEILS
MESSAGE IR ANCHORAGE
News of a boating accident on
Akutan Bay which resulted in the
death of four persons on Christmas
«ve is contained in a telegram re
ceived by the Anchorage Funeral
Farlors in Anchorage, from the Am
erican Pacific Whaling company, at
Akutan. The message requested that
an undertaker be sent to Akutan im
mediately by airplane so 'that the
bodies of the four victims might be
prepared for shipment to the States
for burial.
la reporting the accident the Times
says: Details of the tragedy were
not contained In the message, it
being stated merely that “four lives
lest here Christmas eve when boat
capsized. All bodies recovered Christ
mas day. If possible, send under
taker at once so bodies can be pre
pared for shipment South. Do so by
plane, other wise will be too late.
Wire immediately via St. Paul Is
land radio station.”
R. C. Loudermilch took the matter
up with the Anchorage Air Trans
port, and A. A. Shonbeck, of that
company, communicated with Capt.
O. A. Johansen, of the steamer Starr,
who had just arrived at Seward
from the Westward. The captain is
against an attempt to reach Akutan
with a plane at this season of the
year,' because of the uncertainty of
weather conditions and it was the
opinion of the officers of the air com
pany that it would not be practicable
to undertake the flight at this time
fer the further reason that a landing
at Akutan would require pontoons
and that it would be necessary to
relay fuel supplies for the flight, es
timated at about 800 miles each way.
Captain Johansen finally agreed to
make a special trip to Akutan, which
lies far out on the Alaska Peninsula,
near Dutch Harbor, and a message
was dispatched to the wiialing com
pany to obtain approval of the plan
before setting out. If a favorable
reply is received, Mr. Loudermilch
will go to Seward and le^ve from
there immediately on the Starr, re
turnng with the bodies next week,
prepared for shipmnt to the Stages.
The Starr can make the voyage from
Seward to Auktan in three days.

IS IT JACK MC CORD?
It is 'believed the J. A. Me Cord, <who
is a passenger on the S. S. Alaska for
Seward, is Jack McCord, well known
Alaskan who makes Seward his head
quarters. Recently, he and Mrs. Me
Cord were in New York City and it
is thought the present trip is just a
brief business trip.
