 The launch Pioneer, which left for Katalla Wednesday morning, had a veritable battle for life before she re- turned to Cordova, having given up the, attempt to reach Katalla. The Pioneer had on board seven people, | including passengers and crew. When just off the mouth of the Copper river she struck an iceberg and sprung leak. The water quickly flooded the | engines, whereupon the pumps rel fused to work Darkness came on, and the only thing that could be done was to bail and head for shore. For tunately the boat struck a sandbar, and the receding tide left her high and dry and gave the men an oppor- tunity to repair the damage done and 1 start the engines by the time the re- | turn tide fioated them. # # #

 all and that is "class." # # # Miss Emma Keever, principal Of the Cordova public school, expects to leave on the next boat for Juneau to attend a meeting of the text book com mittee, During her absence Miss Bes- sic White will be in charge at the school.
