NO TRACE OF BOATS,
 LONG MISSING, FOUND

No trace of the missing halibut boats Brunvol and Imperial or the 13 men who were aboard has been found to date. A message re- ceiyed by the Coast Guard Cutter Unalga from the Admiral Rogers and relayed to the Customs au- thorities here, said that the search party that left Yakutat about ten days ago had not returned and flat no word had been heard from ft. gThe Admiral Rogers Is bound fsa gne westward and was at Yaku- tat last Tuesday. The message also stated that the ship would obtain further information on her return trip south when she again calls at that port The ship is scheduled to return to Juneau southbound about January 1.
 The search party referred to comprises three men detailed by U. s. Commissioner Axelson of Yakutat to search the coast from Yakutat to below the Italio river where it was reported that wreck age was sighted on the beach that tailed closely with the construc- tion of one of the missing boats. The search party has to traverse country that makes travel difficult and slow. Two rivers must be crossed in light boats that the men had to portage for number of miles overland before they could reach the coast in the proximity where the wreckage was reported. No anxiety for the search party is felt as the men were all experience ed with the country and it was re- alized by the authorities at the start that the trip might take two weeks and possibly longer.
 It was pointed out that there is still a chance that the missing men are on Middleton island. which is in the vicinity where the boats
