Kodiak Diary
(continued from page 3)
The story has it that many,
many years ago, when there was
a large native settlement on
Woody Island, the people were
visited one year by a famine.
The famine, a probable punish
ment for misdeeds of the people,
lasted for many weeks, and the
need for food was great.
One day as the inhabitants
looked across the waters to
neighboring Pogibshi (Near) is
land they were amazed to behold
a large, white whale washed a
shore on the beach. They quick
ly took to their boats, for the
whale appeared as a provident
answer to their crying need for
food.
I
But the gods that were had
arranged it otherwise, for when
they reached the whale it had
been turned to stone! That stone
broke up through the years and
scattered and can still be found
among the darker rock of the
beaches.
We were glad to hear the story,
for we never view the white rock
without picturing a fireplace
made of it. And if we ever have
such a fireplace we would rather
it be made of the stone remnants
of a magically petrified whale,
than of coldly geological granitic
intrusive rocks.
Thousands of people have ask
ed us who put the classified ad in
last week for the return of lost
pajama tops and to all we dis
played only a smug, knowledge
able look, and said nothing.
The persons involved are still
secret so far as we are concerned
but the story back of it goes
something like this.
A lady lost them when carry
ing them across a street. When
she went back to look for them,
they were gone, and she recal ed
that two sailors had been coming
along the street at the time.
She got to wondering if the
two sailors had taken them, if
they had taken them to the base
' “So' came the’ advert'sement.
However, later she found them,
quite muddied, in her own back
J yard, where some dog apparent
ly had dragged them.
Which just goes to prove that
sailors sometimes get credit for
I more than they deserve.
