After Plane Wreck

JUNEAU, Alaska A private
transport pilot and three passen-
gers, enroute from Seattle To Fair
banks, awaited aid today after a
crash at Lake Teslin In northern
British Columbia.
Their plane cracked up Monday,
but all escaped injury. Pilot c. o.
Galbraith, formerly Of Bellinghsm,
wired the territorial governors
office here the ship was irrepa-
rably damaged and its occupants
had only emergency rations.
Gov. John w. Troy, however,
said the plane landed on Canadian
territory, and, since the lake Is
inaccessible except by plane, aid
would have to come from Cana
dian sources.

Got BIue with Cold

MY dad says We were swfully
blue, especially around the mouth
and legs when we got out Of the
water finally" Bert said, but ]
don't know, We didn't seem to mind
the cold at all. Guess we had too
many other things to think about"
To prevent losing the boards.
both boys attached ropes from
them TO their trunks and a good
thing. Hood was thrown off his
board once when II smashed hard
into a rock. denting a hole In the
tough mahogany. and Wilson twice
was pitched into the water, both
times narrowly escaping from
drowning.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1939-10-25

The boards are IL feet seven
inches long and four and one
fourth inches thick. Although called
boards, they are really shells and
exceedingly buoyant. 1t took the
boys three weeks, working three
and four hours each school day,
to complete them. They used
nearly 1000 screws In each and
the boards, which cost them So
apiece, are worth about $40. Bot
tom and sides are mahogany, the
interior ribs Alaska cedar and the
top veneer.
A friend at school suggested
they try the Puyallup river.
TOO tame" the paddle-board
makers replied.
IAN right then" the friend came
back, try the Carbon river. That
ought to be wild enough"
Monday afternoon Wilson grin
ned at a Times reporter. 1T wss"
he said.

Whether the government would
accept this definition NJ Internal
tionai law Was not known.
seud Instructions
The state department instructed
the u. y. embassy In Berlin u
make informal inquiries concerning
the fate Of the City Of Flint, y.
4. representatives In Germany
were asked TO find out whsre Tho
ship had been taken. whether the
crew was safe. and 10 learn Ger

The Martins Commission said
the British had taken - number"
Of American ships into British
ports since the war began. Thsy
were scheduled for contrabsnd,
and released after the British APP
proved the cargo or seized II for
sale.
An ExpIanatlos
II was said that the German
capture Of the City Of Flint had
been announced. while the others
had not. because II represented
the first time that . prize crew"
had been put aboard an American
ship. and the first time that =
beliigerent's flag had been flown
above u. B.-owned vessel.
The news seemed 10 have 4 pro-
found influence on many senators
engaged In debating the admins
tratioD's neutrality bill, which
would place drastic restrictions on
American ships entering war zones
and repeal the arms embargo.
But. for the most part, the sena~
tors would say nothing.
ProbIem Raised
Experts on international law
saw the incident a. raising for Inn
mediate definition the actual re-
lation Of Russia with Germany.
They suggested that II Russia per-
mitted German military authorities
TO take their prizes Of war
into her ports. she would find her
position az a neutral endangered.
