Tow Line Rips
The Alloway was taken in tow
by the Montauk after the steamer
Bronnoy was unable to manage
her in a 90-mile an hour gale.
When the Montauk was nearing
the haven of Unlmak Pass where
anchorage could be secured until
the storm subsidized, the tow line
ripped in two and the two crafts
crashed into each other. The
Montauk backed away with a dam
aged superstructure and midship
bulkhead. 1t was impossible to
maneuver in Unimak Pass, and
the Alloway's anchors were drop
ped to keep her off the rocks. The
Alloway's crew then took to the

Merit Badges
Loren Sisson. one of the high

badges that a Scout must attain
before he can become an Eagle
Scout or the higher rank of Life
Scout. Sisson has eleven merit
