MOST HA/AIIIMM S TKI I'
Ira Rank, Captain and owner i»f
ihe power schooner Sea Woll' reports
that his last trip to the North was the
most severe he has encountered for
Strong head winds prevented them
from setting to Wales, and they were
forced to unload all cargo for that
The severity of the storm may he
, imagined by the fact that it required
three days to unload four lighter
! loads of freight. Old timers at York
! told Ira it was the worst storm they
I have seen In fifteen years.
On the return trip the Sea Wolf
j encountered heavy ice at Teller and
if present conditions continue that

The Sea Wolf is now in Snake

into winter quarters.

to the Chapter officers there are
many who are under the impression

that such is not the case. Most of
the contributions received from
memberships are retained for local
use wherever relief is necessary.
