During the past winter he delivered milk for the Wrangell dairy and in that way came directly in contact with al. most every family in town.
 Morrison left Wrangell about the middle of January in a small boat on a trapping expepition. He was an experienced trapper and hsher- man and so thoroughly at home in that kind of a life that no one would have been apprehenslve as to his safety if had not been heard of again for six months. s.<a1-... ,;. : : ,- = from its anchorage and got away while he was hunting on an island.
