 Three days ago the tug reached Fire Island. For forty eight hours the tug and tow battled with the ice.
 "It couldn't be done," and Capt. Christanson, knowing that he would be responsible to the Navy Depart ment if he lost his craft, struggled out through the ice again and went Go Seldovia. The barge Lawrence is again tied up at the lower Cook Inlet city and the navy tug will return to Seat tie, as unnecessary expenses are ac- cumulating on account of a mistate- ment of facts regarding "open navlga- ton" on Cook Inlet.
