RADIO SET, ROWLING STORM, PLANE, DOG TEAM,
 DARING MEN, INVOLVED

In the isolated native village of Ninichik, west of Seward, ~thrilling battle for life and rescue reached a climax late yesterday afternoon in Anchorage, when Pilot Russell Mer- rill,, of the Anchorage Air Transport company, made sensational land ing on the home field in darkness, bringing Miss Bessie Howe, school teacher, flor treatment at the govern ment hospital.
 The race with grim death" began when it was learned from Seldovia that Miss Howe had accidently shot herself in the abdoman while in the act of cleaning her gun, and radio operator Lipke, at Seldovia, wirelessed that due to the terrible gale at sea no boat would venture from port. Feint amateur signals were caught by MT. Lipke which he was able to decode as distress sig nals with bare outline of the acci- dent.
 With Dr.. A. D, Haverstock, of the government hospital, Pilot Merrill took off from the Anchorage field and, flying against strong head winds over Cook Inlet, he arrived and land ed safely on small lake, about one- half mile in lenght, and approxi- mately six miles from the village.
 Through the heroic eforts of Dr. Haverstock he finally, with the aid of a dog team, succeeded in moving the wounded girl, in terrible agony, to the plane.
 AS OCldJ HI SOLLHAo IA1C 5IA1 IO kAO plane and loss of time bucking the wind, caused loss of time and upon their arrival over Anchorage dark ness greeted them. However, three flares had been lit on one side of the field and on the other side the head lights of an automobile served as field markers and Pilot Merrill brot his ship to land perfectly.
 Reports received from Anchorage last night were to the effect the ef- forts of Dr. Haverstock and Pilot Merrill may have proved in vain for the wounded girl was in an extreme ly critical conditions, blood poisoning having set in.
 Miss Howe is known to a few To- cal citizens having arrived in Sew ard from Witchita, Kas., on September I2, enroute Westward to teach in the government school at Ninilchik.

John Doland decided to sell his bust

dashery store five years ago, and had
reaped the harvest OF the prosperous
period following the war. But now
he wished to retire.
He had no difficulty in finding pur-
chaser, and he assigned to him his
ten-year lease.
But the peace Of his retirement was
broken two months later by letter
from his landlord, who informed him
that he had just discovered that the
store had been sold. and demanded
that Doland pay the rent, which was
two months in arrears.
Doland refused to pay, claiming that
as there was no provision in the lease
restricting him from assigning it. he
could not be held liable for the rent as
long as he had assigned it to one who
had agreed to assume the rent obi.

HOW 1T STARTED
by JEAN NEWTON.
"Schoonars.

why are these vessels called schoon-
ers?
The first one was built in 1713 at
Gloucester, Mass, and 1t was from a
circumstance that happened on the
occasion of it's taking to the water
that 1t and the thousands of schooners
that have succeeded it received the
name.
AS this vessel at Gloucester went off
the stocks and made her uncertain
way into the water, a friend of the
owner who had come out for the oeca-
sion cried out, "Oh, see how she
scoons"'
Now, tscoon" is not and was not
then a word of legitimate meaning. 1t
was simply a bit of Scandinavian dia-
lect and indicated a skipping or skim
ming like the motion Of a ship that 1t
was used to express.
But the owner of the ship had no re-
gard for the legitimacy Of words. And
having been at q loss for a name for
his floating kingdom, he seized upon
the word "schoon" before his friend
had finished the sentence, crying,
schooner let her be- And ever since
that particular kind of vessel has been
so called.
