 They have been getting 100 francs or about $4 month for many years. They also had bon uses for attending sessions. which added, usually, another fifty francs to their salaries

fl LOSE LIVES . IN BOAT WRECK, s POINT AUGUSTA
Two Families Are Wiped Out When Gasboat Jenne
 of Sitka Is Wrecked

i1itNtH pti SOis, Nll iluid1lS, seven of whom were children. were drowned probably last Mon day when the gasboat Jenne of Sitka was wrecked at the en- trance to Whitestone Harbor. Nine of the bodies have been recovered and taken to Hoonah.
 All of the victims were resi- dents of Sitka and were return ing home after spending the troll ing season at Hoonah. Those who are reported to have lost their lives were:
 Johnny Albert and his wife. Alice Albert. and their three children
 Mir and Mrs. Charles Morgan. Mrs. Albert's parents. two Nor gan children and two grand children of the Morgans.
 Two Bodies Missing
 All of the bodies were recov- cred except Mrs. Morgan's and a 10-year-old daughter of MT. and Mrs. Morgan The first word of the disaster was brought. here yesterday by Capt. Larry Parks of the mailboat Margnita.
 What few details that are known here were received today by The Empire from c. A. Bev- ans, Hoonah merchant. He wrote that the Jenne, Capt Johnny All bert with his family and the Nor gan family aboard left Point Sophia at 10 or II a. m. last Monday enroute to Sitka where both families resided. Friday, a white man trolling in the vicin- ity of Whitestone Harbor went ashore there to hunt. He dis covered the bodies of the victims on the beach and proceeded at once to Hoonah where he report ed his discovery that the Jenne was wrecked.
 Small boats left Hoonah early Saturday morning for the scene of the disaster, just north of Point Augusta near where the steamer Alki was wrecked in 1919. They were unable to make landing owing to rough weath- CT and returned to Hoonah. Later Saturday the St Martin, canneryl tender from the Pacific American Fisheries cannery at Excursion Inlet, succeeded in putting al party ashore which picked up the bodies and took them to Hoonah.
 Bodies Are Recovered
 Capt. Parks said he was told at Hoonah that all of the bodies were naked when found. There was some discloration of the skin and flesh as if there might have been an explosion aboard. Mr. Bevans did not mentioned this in his report to The Empire
 It seems to be the belief att Hoonah that the boat was wreck ed trying to make shelter in Whitestone Harbor. Chatham Strait off Point Augusta is re- garded by navigators as par ticularly dangerous stretch for small boats when strong north erly winds prevail The sweep from Lynn Canal is said to be felt there in full force. This kind of weather has been pre- vailing since November 6.
 Mother Lives Here
 Both the Morgan and Albert families were well known at the local Indian village Mrs. Billy Metjay, who resides in the local Indian settlement, is the mother of Johnny Albert. A cousin of Captain Albert, John Lawson, also resides here.
 Capt. Albert and his father-in- law Charles Morgan, had been trolling in Icy Strait and Cross Sound during the past season. Their families resided in Hoonah. Having quit fishing for the year. they were enroute home at the time of the disaster.
