 Little Margaret was taken from school last Tuesday. She was blind folded and tied and taken to a shack that night and to another shack the next night She was locked in Thursday then taken to her father They boarded the Bob where the police found them and took charge. She was unharmed.

LASHING GALE
 MODERATED TO
 FINE WEATHER

The wind, which yeSter rda y lashed Seward with a driving rain had moderated by this morning. The wind created so rough seas that waves beat high on the shore. The road to the Seward cannery was given a good pounding and the local small boat float was tossed upon the beach.
 No other reports of wind dam age have been made. The rains caused streams to run high and the water in Lowell Creek Hume put on a mad spurt as it rushed on it's way to the sea- Some trouble was had with the Hume at the in take where the water threatened to seek a new channel and block it's course into the Hume.
 The rocks were kept dislodged, however, and when the boulders hit the steel rails in the Hume they expressed" down to the beach.
 The weather data for points aI- eng the Alaska Railroad early this morning was Seward 50, light rain, light South wind; Tunnel 50, cloudy, light South wind; Anchor age 60, part cloudy, light South east wind; Curry, 50, cloudy, calm; road Pass A, light rain, calm; Healy 42, part cloudy, light South wind; Nenana 50, rain, calm; and Fairbanks 45, cloudy and calm.

 Channel

The assistance of the wind in driving his boat ashore close enough to habitation to receive aid promptly was all that intevened between ''Bill' Mckenzie and death last Friday night.
 MT. Mckenzie, who is an old timer of this section, was return ing from Youngs Bay where he had gone to do some trapping some weeks ago in company with P. Higgins. Their food supply gone, they had decided to return to town and were able to reach Dupont where the latter disem- parked to go to his cabin near there without mishap. Intending to go on into Juneau, Mckenzie cast off for the remainder of the trip but he soon discovered his boat was fast filling with water caused, perhaps, by an open seam resulting from the Dupont land ing. It was not long before his
 
 engines stopped. and tossed by the storm, and slowly sinking. it seem ed only question of minutes to the man before he would perish with his boat.
 However, he frightened the craft as much as possible by tossing eV- erything movable overheard ano waited. Then the end came. but not the end Mckenzie expected Drifting with Sthe wind and cur rent. the boat had reached the Is land shore without his being aware of the closeness to the beach until the craft grounded near Nevada Creek.

Just two steps was all and he was in up to his neck. Away went the lantern and bundle as he had to swim to the beach Soak
