The ice was getting thicker and realizing his danger Lag aroff started to row for the beach, where he arrived several hours later completely exhausted. He notified the Pioneer camp at Strawberry Point of the fate he feared was in store for his companions. and power boats were immediately dispatched to their res cue, the search for the missing men being kept up all day and until late
 last night when Clyde Kelley, in charge of boat No. :, picked up the
 body of Christ Tripenoff at the end of Strawberry Point. He also saw
 the body of Pankoff, with life pre- server on, but it was too near the breakers to pick up. The remains of
 Tripenoff were brought to town dur ing the night. The derelict boat was seen about four miles from Steel
 Point, it being upside down. and as
 nothing was seen of the camp equip
 ment it is supposed to have been i washed out with the tide.
 Superintendent McConaghy has
 sent out five power boats to search
 for the missing men and every effort
 will be made by the company to re- cover their bodies.-Cordova Times.
