Travellers To Kodiak Have Close Shave

Having the sea plug come out ia the bottom of his fishing boat and allowing the water to run mo it while crossing Shelikoff strait was the unpleasant experi- ence of R. A. Hester this week as he and Mrs. Hester, Lefty AL ho and Amy Hill Loftus were en route from Swikshak bay to Kodiak.
 To make it worse the plug could not be reached, being un- der load in the hold that could not be opened because of the high seas running, and it wasn't discovered until there was about & foot and half of water in the boat.
 When the trouble was found they were near enough to shore that they were able to make 8 dash for Blue Fox bay where they immediately beached the slowly filling vessel.
 There they were enabled after several hours work to get the water out and replace the plug and then continue on to Kodiak. The motor was protected by a water tight bulkhead.
 eff WE had been farther out when the plug came loose," MT. Hester said, "I don't know what might have happened. We were very lucky"
