 The Alaska Game Commissions seaplane hangar within the Boat Harbor was overturned when moor ing piling gave way No plane was in it.

 A two-man hunting party, dropped off at Nevada Creek, on Douglas Island, Thursday afternoon by Henry Museth, was forced to put it's skiff ashore and tramp the beach back into Douglas when increasing winds gave futility to any attempt to row back across the Channel.
 One Boat Lost
 The troller Bird, owned by Peter Willis, was lost in 49 fathoms of water two miles southwest of Mar mion Island on Friday. The Bird first suffered damage when it hit in shallow water off Hilda Point Capt. Willis attempted to take his boat to shelter in Green Cove, but, the craft swamping enroute, he was forced to leave it at anchor while he made his way into Douglas to notify the Coast Guard.
 A co "50-footer" was dispatched and, after pumping the Bird, took her in tow. When suddenly she opened a very large leak, two Guardsmen put aboard were forced off and the troller went under. The co vessel itself being endangered, it was necessary to cut loose from the stricken craft and allow her to founder.
 Still another fishing boat, 16- foot craft, was grounded yesterday on the flats at the northern end of Gastineau Channel Coast Guards men were, however, able to refloat her and tow her to safety. The beat is owned by Fred Pclagelli.

By LAWRENCE F. STUNTZ Press Correspondent

 Today the only authority re- maining was that of the Army, Navy and the two holdovers from the fallen government, Minister of War Gen. Eduardo J. Avalos and Minister of the Marine Rear Ad- miral Hector Vednego Lima.
 The police, apparently acting autonomously for the time beln 5, forbade newspapers to publish news of the street fighting. How ever, they were permitted to men, tion the 12-hour wait of thousands of persons in front of the Army Club yesterday while generals, admirals, and civil leaders inside debated the future of the country.
 It was after this debate broke up without results that the firing be- gan. Who began it was uncertain but at it's height police fired on the crowd. Individuals in the crowd returned the fire, and a group of unidentified civilians perhaps nationalists-aided police by shooting into the massed thous- ands.
 The fighting spread to other parts of the city. Horses with empty saddles galloped through the streets and dead horses lay among the wounded on the plaza before the Army Club.
