of the gasboat Olive, Captain J. A. Johnson, which left Anchorage May 30 for Kodiak, and which is reported to have lost it's tow en route, a meager message was received this morning from the radio station indicating that the Olive was seen after parting com pany with the J. J. The message was received by Asst. U. S. Attorney J. L. Waller and reads as follows:
 "One of the fellows here says that the Olive went by Kenai with a boat in tow. This boat caught fire and they cut it loose and let it drift ashore. It is on the beach near Ke- mai. The gasboat Olive proceeded on down the Inlet. The supt. says it was going to Kodiak. It probably stop ped at Kanatak for a day or two and wouldn't have been heard from yet.
 It is the belief of MT. Waller that there is no need to wory about Capt. Johnson, the message indicating quite definitely that the Olive was not dam aged by the fire which destroyed the tow J. J. Fears will not be entirely laid at rest, however, until the Olive reports at Kodiak A message is now being awaited from the wireless sta ton there.
 Ordinarily the Olive would make the run to Kodiak in two days easy go- ing, and it should not require more than three days to cover the distance in rough weather, unless laid up in shelter.
