about 200 persons have perished IN
the destruction of six villages as the
result OF the eruption Of Katmai vol
cano. was the fear expressed today by
persons on board a cannery tender,
which arrived here. The villages,
most of whose inhabitants we're ma
tive fishermen, are Kanatuck, Sava-
nooski, Douglas, Cold Bay, Kam-
gamute and Katmal
The tender reported that It's last
news indicated that the eruption had
ceased. but sharp earthquake shocks
today caused the fear that II may have
been renewed. Il is impossible to get
any details Of the destruction. But
the tender brought word that when
last heard from the village Of Uyak,
on Kodiak Island was safe. II had
been reported previously that this viii
lage had been destroyed and II is now
hoped that all Of the settlements on
that island escaped without serious
damage other than getting a covering
OF volcanic ashes. There is some
apprehension, however. over the fate
of Afognak Island, which lies between
Kodiak Island and Katmai volcano. No
word has come from Afognak.
The entire atmosphere Of AlaSka
seems to be charged with gases. and
vegetation everywhere is being killed.
