Kodiak Diary
(continued from page 3)
George Petty, (his Petty Girl
is in True magazine) arrived in
Seattle after his Kodiak bear
hunt and Pan American, who
transported him from Fairbanks,
sent out an interview.
Petty said one bear was killed
with one shot from a .375 mag
num rifle. “With the power that
rifle carries,’’ he added, ‘it takes
one hit and the bruin is down
for the count.’’
“We found the best hunting
in the vicinity of Karluk lake in
the center of the island,” Petty
stated. “We counted 110 Kodiak
bears and were treated to the
rare sight of a she-bear with 4
cubs before we made our kills ”
As a future big game hunters’
paradise, enthusiastic George
Petty states “the possibilities
are unlimited.”
Petty continued on to his
studio-home in Northbrook, Il
linois
It was Petty’s 3rd trip to Ko
diak, with a bear on each trip. 1
We don’t know about it being
the best authority, but on the
only authority we could get, we
learn that Tom Nachand launch
ed his boat last week and also!
Tom Nachand.
The boat in question is the
‘Sportsman”, that used to be
the “Kitten” before Tom and
Mrs. Nachand and others spent
several months remodeling,
scraping and painting it.
With the help of their friends,
the Orval Nyes, the boat was
properly gotten into the bay
from its shipyard next to
Chri.-ty's Bakery, and Tom had
a bottle of champagne ready for
the occasion Or rather he didn’t
have it ready, for lacking a glass
cutter he did not have the bottle
properly weakened as usually is
done.
The only suitable place to
break the bottle was on a brass
plate on the deck, so there
Tom took his position with
the bottle. Taking a mighty
swing the bottle hit the plate,
glanced off with a violent
! swerve, continued in the follow
I through in a complete ar« to
■ come around, and konked Tom
> in the back of the head with
enough force to make him lose
his balance and overboard into
the drink he went. By drink we
mean water. The bottle was un
harmed.
Undaunted was Tom, so he
climbed back aboard and after 3
or 4 more attempts the bottle
crashed as it should, and the
christening was over.
We aren’t surprized a bit that
the accident happened. It is sol
emn tradition that, a woman
must christen a boat, never, nev
