When the calcareous stones are taken out of the ears of fish they lose all sense of equilibrium and roll about as if crazy. Most fish hunt their food by only defective sight. but the eels by even more defective smell.

GASBOAT HELEN
 TOTAL LOSS
(Petersburg Report)

Petersburg Report)
 The eleven-ton gasboat Helen of Wrangell, owned by Richard Hofstad, was wrecked at the north end of Level Island, November I, at about II o'clock in the morning.
 A storm was raging at the time, and with engine trouble the craft became unmanae able. Captain Hofstad and his engineer started for shore in skitf, which capsized, and they were washed ashore.
 The disabled gashoat was also soon aground and within quarter of an hour had pounded to pieces.
 The men were unable to signal help from the point where they had stranded, so were forced to spend night there. The follow ing morning they fixed up the skiff and started out. They were picked up by the halibut boat Lun, Captain Iver Strand, shortly after noon.
 Nothing was saved from the wreck of the Helen except the en- zine. Captain Hofstad estimates the loss, including boat, salt fish, a seine boat which they had in tow, fishing gear, etc., at S2, 1000.
