WINNIPEG MOTHER MAKES
 JOURNEY TO SEE DAUGHTER

Homeward bound to Winnipeg, after trip north to be with her daughter at the coming of her first baby, Mrs. P. Paterson arrived in Wrangell on the Hazel B No. 2 from Telegraph Creek Saturday to take passage on the Princess Louise Tuesday night for Vancouver.
 Mrs Paterson has experienced al- most every mode of travel afforded in the north, except that of dog team, since leaving Winnipeg. Tray cling by train to the coast, then by steamer to Skagway and over the White Pass Railway to Whitehorse last June. she met her daughter. Mrs. William Glennie, wife of the Hudson's Bay factor at McDames. who had flown to the Whitehorse hospital where her baby was born.
 Mrs. Paterson later accompanied her daughter and grandchild to Me Danes, the trip being made by plane and made her second flight in the plane. which stopped at McDames two weeks ago enroute from Car cross to Telegraph Creek with P. W. Forrest. Mrs. Paterson was in the plane when Mr. Forrestd, oe- lieving the engine had stopped, stepped out on the river bank at Telegraph Creek to tie the lines and was caught by the propeller blades.
 Mrs. Paterson praised highly the efficiency with which two Telegraph Creek women, both former hospital nurses, in the absence of a doctor dressed MT. Forests wounds prep aratory to the pilots bringing him to Wrangell, the nearest hospital.
 Mrs. Paterson said her northern travels amused her daughter and son-in-law, who laughingly con trasted her fear of escalators in city stores, with her willingness to board airplanes in the north or to travel by whatever conveyance was at hand.
 Mrs Glennie came to McDames a year ago as a bride. She had new CT before lived away from a city but her mother says she is very hap py and contented and has no desire to return to city life.

RICHIE FINDS SPOT WETTER
 THAN SOUTHEASTERN ALASKA

John Richie in a letter to the Sentinel this week from Honolulu said that those who think southeas- tern Alaska is a wet country, would probably be interested in the island peak on the island of Kauia where il really rains. A clipping from a Honolulu newspaper has the follow ing account of the wet spot:
 Mount Waialeale on Kauai is dryer this year than it was last. but it's still the wettest bit of property under the American flag.
 Charles A. Young, assistant en- gineer for the U. s. Geological Sur yey, brushed the raindrops out of his eyes this week to so report to his chief, Max H Carson, district engineer for the survey. Brandish ing a somewhat moist set of figures Young reported to Carson that from July g, 1897 to July 23, 1888, Kauais famous all wet mountain had garnered a total of 567 inches of rain.
 Young led the annual trek to theI top of the 5,O80 foot peak to read the most active rain gauge of the United States. A total of 13 personsI including Young, a guide and a group of mountain and rain en- thusiasts, climbed the boggy peak to be in on the reading. But they made the pilgrimage only to find that Waialeale's 567 inches for the past fiscal year was but a poor second to the 695 registered tor 1936-37.
 Nevertheless, damp though they were, the mountaineers lost none of their optimism, for there's always another year and there's always rain on Waialeale. Two days were re- quired to reach the summit and re- turn. While Mount Waialeale may be all wet, it's not quite so much so as Cherrapunji, India, which tops the Kauai peaks long time average by a consistently damp six or seven inches yearly.
 Mount Waialeale strained itself in 1927 to come up with record of 64S inches. Its average since read ings began in 1911 is around 450' inches annually however, so the In- dian wet spot claims the worlds championship with It's sixty year mean figure of 457 inches.
 "The trip to the summit of Wai- aleale requires two hours on horse back and three or four hours of steady hiking made really tough go- ing by heavy footing. Nearing the top one foot must be dragged after the other because of the mud, en- gineers declared. Nevertheless the gauge must be read so long as Wai- aleale has rain. And it still has plenty"

BARR RETURNS TO FAIRBANKS THIN. HUNGRY, ONE LEG GAME

L. F. Barr. former Juneau pilot who was recently forced down on the middle fork Of the Fortymile River in his ten-plaee Pilgrim plane. is back in Fairbanks. "one leg a little game and the waistline reduced a few inches" but other wise the same happy-go-lucky MT. Barr.
 Barr said a rocker box breaking off a cylinder head caused his forced landing. and with power di= minishing. he set the big ship down under power on high and barren hillside where a thin moss cover padded jagged rocks.
 Damage to the plane amounted 10 a tail wheel and tail tubing in the fuselage being ripped out. Barr said. Present plans of the resourceful little pilot are to drop tools and supplies from a plane at the scene of the forced landing. and with two men hiking in from Josephs Village repair the ship and clear a takeoff field.
 Barr was forced down August 1 and it was not until four days later that he was sighted by pilot Jimmy Dodson after having seen six search planes go over him and having heard on his radio receiving set the news of what was believed to be his death.
 Barr was lost on Thursday. found on Sunday night, and on Tuesday morning was dropped food, shoe pacs. socks and a blackboard for his hike to Joseph's Village, twenty miles away, where there is a sand

The Wrangell sentinel., 1938-08-19

With many a handkerchief Hut passengers aboard the Hazel B No. 2 on it's August 9tn sailing from Wrangell, waved good bye to friends before settling down to the intriguing prospect of enjoying a fiYe-day cruise on the Stikine river.
 The gods of fate favored this trip with the finest weather of the sea- son, the thermometer soaring to 90 degrees above the canyon.
 On the second night lively tunes were played around a huge bonfire which was built on a sand bar above Grand Rapids. Then as the silVery beams of full moon shat tered the darkness of night, cam eras were produced by amateur pho tographers who made tentative ex- periments in time exposures. Var ious individuals yielded to pleadings and maintained difficult poses for three and four minutes without moving.
 The next day as Telegraph Creek came into sight, the passengers gathered in the bow of the ship and pranced wildly about for the bene- fit of A. K. Moneys movie camera as he filmed the incoming ship from the Hudsons Bay Company dock. Later that night Mr. Money entertained the group with inter- esting movies of his stay last winter at Palm Springs, California;; of the work he and his crew have been do- ing at his mining camp and inter- esting scenes on the Stikine.
 The next day (Friday) the Hazel B No. 2 left Telegraph Creek and dropped down to Glenora where George Ball was waiting with a hay rack and team and several saddle horses to take the excursionists to the Ball ranch. Some chose to ride the horses, others the wagon and still others to walk the three miles to the ranch where Mrs. Ball was waiting with a midday feast of good things to eat.
 The afternoon was spent explor- ing points of interest. That evening a dance was held at the lodge and river tourists and Telegraph Creek visitors danced to Hitting hillbilly music played by the ships concert orchestra and to piano music by Miss Matte Smith. AS conse- Quence the dances ranged from the Highland Fling to the Big Apple,
 Then as the shades of night lifted to the pale dawn, the excursionists bid farewell to their new friends and with their old ones headed back to the riverboat and home.
