Sat. Storm Worst ill 20
 Yrs. Says Geo. Bidwell

MT. and Mrs. George M. Bidwell and Walter Bidwell got back to town Tuesday from a weeks hunt ing trip at Duncan Canal aboard the Vigilant.
 MT. Bidwell stated that he has hunted in this district every year since 1914 and in that time has seen some rather bad varieties of weather, but that the windstorm Saturday was by far the worst he has ever encountered.
 The wind blew a good deal all day Friday and that night. At the beginning of the storm he ran into Castle creek at Duncan canal, which is considered one of the finest an- chorages in this section. When the southeaster was at it's height Sat urday morning, the V g l a | e, which had two anchors out, was blown onto the mud flats of the creek Trees on shore were bending to the ground, many snapping off and the placid waters of Castle creek, whipped by the wind, be- came a raging river carrying trees and debris in tumultuous roar. (But the roar of the storm did not cover the loud language of the two men, as they struggled to hold their own against the elements, MS. Bidwell told friend).
 Most fortunately after the win had subsided that afternoon, the Vigilante got out of the mud, otherwise as the tides were nip ping" the party would have been marooned until high tides ten days or two weeks later. The south easter prevented the boats getting into Wrangell Saturday so Bidweii made for Harvey's camp whicL is sheltered from all winds. On Sun day he got three miles out from camp, but a Stikine wind turned him back. On Monday another bowling sou easter picked the water Rp. He went through Beecher Pass into a cove in WrangeIl Ma rows for shelter. The next mo. IL. was smooth travel and the party returned home, safe and sound and with two fine bucks.
