P. (. Mccormack, Pioneer
 Of WrangelI, Passes On

Death claimed one of the lead ing citizens of Wrangell with the passing of P. c. Mccormack, pioneer merchant and civic leader, who died at 10:3O o'clock Sunday evening at Bishop Rowe General Hospital fol- lowing an extended illness. MT. Me Cormack entered the hospital about two weeks ago, gradually failing in strength until the end.
 Peter c. Mccormack was born on November II, 1860, at Monticello, Prince Edward Island, one of a fam fly of twelve, of which he was the last to survive. He left home while in his early Juveniles and went to Pennsylvania, where he engaged in logging operations, later moving to the west coast and settling in Bel lingham At that city he was mar ried to Miss Frances Ann Koebler in the year 1908 at a double wed-

 In 1907 Mr. Mccormack acquired the steamship dock which bears his name upon the death of Robert Reed, former owner Leo McCor- mack, a nephew. became associated with his uncle in the management of the dock business, assuming ac- tive management in 1910.
 MT. Mccormack retired from business many years ago, but re- tained his interest in civic affairs. serving five terms as Mayor of Wrangell and filled the position of clerk of the School Board. He rep resented the First District as Rep resentative to the Territorial Legis- lature, once in the third session in 1917 and again in 1929, as a Re publican member of that body.
 Surviving are his wife, residing at the family home in this city; a son, P. c. Mccormack, II, of Seat tie; a daughter, Mrs. Robert Mur- phy, also of Seattle, and five grand children, Kathleen, Teresa, and Peter c. Mccormack, III; and Mi chael and Madeleine Murphy. Other survivors include a nephew, Leo c. Mccormack and his family, and nu- merous nieces and nepheWs in the United States and Canada. The son and daughter came here recently during their fathers final illness.
 Funeral services were held at 9:30 o'clock Wednesday morning at the Catholic Church, with Father Matthew Hoch officiating at the rites. Vocal selections were given by James Nolan, and Mrs. B. Y. Grant was organist. Interment was in Wrangell Memorial Cemetery.
 Honorary pallbearers were Oscar Carlson, L. B. Chisholm, Leonard Campbell, Elmer Carlstrom, Charles Moore, and Leo Grant. Active pail bearers u d Jerry Calvin Lloyd Ripley, Joe Hernandez, Free Johnston, Fred Cunningham, ant Leo Mccormack.
 i The sympathy of the entire com munity is extended to the McCor mack family in their bereavement 1 The town itself feels a profound sense of loss in the passing of ont of it's real pioneers.
 All local business houses re mained closed on Wednesday during Yfinal services for MT. Mccormack.

Tinian Conquered


 PEARL HARHOR ~- A tW0-mile advance Wednesday by American troops on Guam against increasing enemy resistance in the rough wooded terrain is reported by Ad- miral Chester w. Nimitz. This placed the reconquerors of Guam well into the upper third of the is land, southernmost of the Marianas group and gave them control of the important road junction north of the ridge which extends nearly across the island.
 The Tanks are advancing with continuing support from carrier based aircraft. Planes on Wednes- day flew low over enemy fortifica- tions and storage areas at the northern end of Guam to shatter the targets with bombs and rocket fire.
 Enemy dead through August to- taled 1893. The civilians whC sought protection in the American lines numbered 1000.
 Admiral Nimitz reported that the American flag was raised formally on Tinian, 125 miles north of Guam. Scattered remnants of the garrison there are being flushed from caves and dugouts by Marines. Enemy dead on the island is estimated of ficially at 5000 with 4,0O0 ciyili- ans interned.

2 Dead
 1 Hurt In
 Boat Fires

KETCHIKAN, Alaska-Eldon J. Dalv. one Of Alaska, most prominent businessmen, lost his life Sunday when fire destroyed the boat on which he was travelling alone to Bell Island. In another accident Francis Anderson died and Ken meth Bell was seriously burned when the boat which they W wer e aboard exploded and caught fire while taking fuel at ketchikan oil dock.
 Mr. Daly checked out at the sig nal tower at z o'clock Saturday morning. He should have reached Bell island about o'clock, but eyi- dently had trouble because at 4 O. clock party of sports fishermen sighted hls burning boat headed Tor shore off Bushy point.
 Flames High in Air
 The usnermen rusned to the scene. As they approached, they re- ported seeing a high column of flame gush from the stricken craft. When they reached the boat, it was still smoldering. They identified the boat. asked some nearby loggers to keep it on the beach, came to town and notified the coast guard.
 Two coast guard boats were at the scene and one of them brought the body here. Inasmuch as MT Daly was travelling alone, no one knows exactly what happened. The boat reportedly was diesel powered, but had a gasoline stove. Whether engine trouble developed, as might be indicated by the delay in reach ing Bell island, is not known.
 Cause Undetermined
 Judging from the sketchy reports available today, it is possible that fire broke out and that MT. Daily headed the craft for shore. Then gasoline for the stove ex- ploded. as that would explain the high column of fire which the ob- servers saw. Such an explosion would have trapped the victim in the boat.
 AlIuOuSu uGLlu1IG 4oShb1L11SAbAoAA 1f the body had not been made, no one held much doubt that the vic tim was MT. Daly, as the boat was definitely identified by Stanley Bernhoft, member of the fishing party which saw the boat in flames.
 MT. DaIy had lived in Ketchikan since boyhood. In World war he served in the United States marine corps. After the death of his father, he and his brother, Milton J. Daily, succeeded to management of the Spruce Mills, one of AL aska's most vital wartime. in dustries.
 Besides his brother, MT. Daly is by his mother, Mrs. J. J. Daily, also of Ketchikan.

 TO SMALL BOATS

A warning to small craft las been issued by Ketchikan district coast guard headquarters concern ing outside waters.
 The warning says, Under pres ent wartime conditions, certain routes are prescribed for ocean yes sels outside the inland waters. non descript small vessels, particularly those of the fishing type, should for the duration of the present emergency, when approaching chan nels of this nature, keep clear of ocean-going vessels whose maneu- Yerability is limited in such areas"

Human Skeleton Found On bluII
 Island Beach

A human skeleton, apparently mans. was found on Bluff Island Hast Saturday by William Tennis as he walked along the shores of the island. Tennis, a Wrangell man, IS trap watchman for the Farwest- Nrangeu cannery and had crossed.
 from East Island, where the trap IS.
 locuted. to Bluff Island for a day outing. He immediately notified eauuerv officials who notified Depu-
 ty Marshal James Nolan, and al Coast Guard boat was dispatched to.
 the scene with Nolan aboard.
 The skeleton, undisturbed by the years. lay in a sheltered oyer-hang- ing ledge. almost a cave, Deputy Marshal Nolan said, and was eYl- aeutly that of a man of large frame siz Ieet tall. 1t was lying on it's back with board under the head and feet and three large rocks placed in a triangle about the head and shoulders as ii some covering had been weighted down by them. Tt looked" said Nolan, 'as if he might have crawled in under the ledge and scooped out bed in the soil"
 There were no traces of clothing or shoes and the fine soil under the skeleton was carefully sifted in an attempt to find buttons or buckles that might have been left after fabric had decayed. The only clue to any covering consisted of a handful Of long, woolen threads which might have come from a sweater and were found around the 
 Speculation as to identity mainly held that it might be one Of the victims of the Robert AIcCracken party which was lost off East is- land ill December of 1886. Robert well known Wrangell man, aboard his boat the Nellie Torry and four other men were lost when their boat swamped in heavy seas during a storm. None of the party was ever seen again but three Or four years ago Bert McCay, local found traces of the Nell lie Torry on East island where he operated a fox farm.
 Marshal Nolan said that he is !. sending the skeleton to the Smith sonian Institute in an attempt to have it identified as to race, sex, age and any other information they can render.
