Among McGrathites witnessing the big event at McGrath were Al Colwell, Jack Mutchler, Fred Morledge and Chris Dahl To the latter belongs the credit of having received a special let ter by plane from Fairbanks and an- swering it the same day in the same way. thus establishing record in rapid transit mail service between those points-at any rate, so far as Chris corresp spondence is concerned.

PAT PARTY
 SAILS FOR WESTWARD
 SOME TIME TONIGHT

The gasboat Princess Pat, carrying party of sportsmen and cameramen from the States, will leave some time today for Unga, Sand Point and far westward points. Aboard the vessel are Dr. Edward D. Jones, of Los An geles, head of the expedition; Dr. P. B. Hardy, of Tecumseh, Mich, MT. Arthur Johnson, Randolph, Kansas J. F. Fawcett, Los Angeles; Alfred Jacque min, cameraman, of Hollywood i; G. k. Peterson, assistant cameraman of Hollywood; Howard Long, Seward guide; Capt. Brooks; Engineer Davi. F. Lewis, Guy Dahl, cook; and A. s Catlin, sailor.
 Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Hardy, Mrs Flaw cett and other lady members of the party arrived on the steamer a week or so ago, and have been waiting the arrival of the boat from Wran- gell, where it was purchased.
 MT. Jacquemin is a cameraman of national importance, having compos- ed one of the party who went to the rescue of the ill-fated army balloon ists who sailed from Rockaway, and fell in the Canadian woods in sOnta- rio MT. Jacquemin travelled about 80 miles by dog sled in 70-below weather to get pictures of the res, cued balloonists and was one of the first services to be released follow ing the tragic event. He will take pie ture of Alaskan scenery, the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, and other points of interest, under the name of the Balmac Educational Film Service, filming a five reel feature including all the trip of the Princess Pat and the big game animals of the Kenai Peninsula and Aleutians. Capt. Me Kinzie has the release for both the States and in foreign countries for any pictures taken on the travel.
 Leaving Wrangell the party ran into heavy gale April 29, off Malaspina glacier, losing their rudder and final ly coming to anchor in the foul ground off Katalla, where they were finally picked up and piloted into Cordova by the gas boat Evelyn. The experience was doubly thrilling from the fact that during the height of the storm Capt. Everson, then in command, suffered an apoplectic stroke, and navigation of the vessel fell on men unfamiliar with coast conditions.
 Despite the discomforts and worry endured by the party, the trip will be continued to the Pribilofs, where pictures will be taken of the seal herd and the methods of handling the raw furS
 The ladies of the party will remain in Seward until the return of the boat from the westward, taking trip over the government railroad next month.
