LOGGER LOST FIVE DAYS;
 IS RECUED LAST FRIDAY

JUNEAU: After being lost for five and half days, Peter Meikelson, a logger, was found this week by par ty under charge of Commissioner V. A.. Paine. Meikelson aside from hunger and his hands severely scratched by devils club, was little the worse for his experience. Meikelson was found on long spit extending out into Sey- mour canal about seven miles from where he went into the woods deer hunting. He crossed the divide with out being aware of it, and after re- gaining the canal side worked his way back to the shore and followed it to- ward Oliver Inlet. When he found himself on the spit he became doubt full of his bearings and remained there until rescued. He subsisted entirely on clans during his stay there, being without food He was well supplied with matches and had a fire at his camp each night. Miekelson has re- covered with the exception of his fes- tered hands.
