 COLLIDE IN FOG

The eannery tender Spencer, own ed by the Farwest Alaska Company and explained by Milo Marshall, col lided with the seine boat Saneo ot the Burnett Inlet Packing Company, skippered by Virgil Hulse. early yes terday morning at the south end d Wrangell NarroWs, off Point Lock- wood, during a heavy tide and fog. The Sanco, north bound, was struck while crossing the spencer's bow, according to report, and sank with in a few minutes. Captain Hulse and his crew of four were picked up by the Spencer and brought to Wrangen.
 The Alaskan, out of Ketchikan, stood by the ill-fated sanco and hauled her on the beach at high tide. Officials of ARB, operators of Bur nett Inlet, said she was not so badly damaged that she would be fixed up and brought in under her own power and probably would soon be back in service.

SatkO Arrives, Ark
 Filled With Anan
 Salmon And BlueberrieS

by a 1927 Buick motor from car which Satko bought for $10, are Satko, his wife, Molly and the sev- en children ranging in age from Ha- gel, the oldest, 19, to Betty, the youngest, age f. Starting from the beginning, Satko explained, its Ha- gel, Edward, Joe, Grace, David, Will liam and Betty. He has two grown children back in Virginia and one child died while the family was in Tacoma assembling the Ark for the trip north. Mrs. Satko is an expect ant mother.
 Satko started out from Virginia couple of years ago to come to Al aska. He says he figured 1t was the land of opportunity, and still does, He lowed his Ark behind an old h. ternational truck he had purchased for $15. Arriving in Tacoma he spent months getting the Ark into sea-going shape before taking to the Inside passage and Alaska Many urged him not to make the trip and authorities questioned for a time whether he should be permitted tC take his family to sea in such g craft. But it floats, and, as SatkC pointed out, the motor runs, push ing the remarkable stub-nosed vel. low-hued craft as fast sometimes as six knots an hour.
 While its a lark for the children and pretty tiresome for Mrs. Satko travel isn't anything new for Satko who served an enlistment in the Marines and spent lot of it down in the islands-Tahita and waJ points.
 Tomorrow night the entire family will be guests of Manager J. R Brown at the Coliseum Theatre. Yes terday afternoon and today they were busy seeing the town and tell ing their stories to the scores wht went dawn la meet sA9mA

With a stripped gear in his Ark but full of Anan creek salmon and blueberries, Paul Satko, Vtrginia's 1940 model Alaska pioneer, with his wife and seven children arrived in Wrangell yesterday forenoon aboard his "Ark of Juneau, which he hauled overland by trailer from Richmond, Va, and then sailed her into the north.
 The trip from Ketchikan, where he arrived a couple of weeks ago from Seattle, Wash, to Wrangell, was uneventful, the Virginia marin CT reported, with the exception of stripping the gear when he got the Ark's bow over log and her stern on the beach. He expects to lay ov- CT here several days making repairs before continuing on via Petersburg to Juneau, his original destination and which he declares is now the end Of the line.
 He won't take the Ark across the gulf, dubious of her Reaworthiness II he ran into bad blow. AL any rate, the family is getting little weary of travelling and Mrs. Satko isn't as we'll as she might be, says mariner Satko. His present plan Is to win ter in or around Juneau, stick with the country, become a resident and ultimately find a place where he can raise a little garden produce, do some fishing, trapping and hunting. By trade a welder, he thinks he might pick up some work at his trade until he gets adjusted to the country.
 Out around Anan, he and his boys did considerable walking and look ing around for a possible flat sight where a fellow could have a little farm" but he found nothing that looked particularly inviting. Ahaasa tho Ae-sasa AxA. Eawaxed
