SOUTHEASTER HITS
 WRANGELL AREA

One of the worst southeasters of the season struck here Wednesday night, at the close of the fishing season, resulting in several fish traps having to be cut loose because they couldn't be brailled. Several small boats had narrow escapes. But other than loss of trap gear no oth- CT actual damage was reported. The ARB No. g ran into a heavy sea, shipped a lot of water but wealth cred through to port after a harrow ing trip. Other small craft had to run for protection for the night. Local floats did some gymnastics but there was no serious damage to them. The storm extended as far south as Ketchikan where several trees were reported blown down and other minor damage resulted there.
