C0AST GUARD IN QUICK ACTl0NF0R
 DESTRESSED SHIP
Plane DenaIi, Army Trans port, Coast Guarder to
 Aid Eek in Storm

Quick action on the part of the Coast Guard and quick response from other sources probably avert ed a marine disaster as the result of Saturdays storm.
 Saturday afternoon, the Coast Guard Headquarters in Juneau picked up a help call from the Eek. a 72-foot purse seiner, enroute from Bethel to Seattle, that she was off Cape St. Elias, in heavy seas and making no headway and asking for assistance. The Eek had seven persons aboard.
 Immediately out went the call for aid
 A PBY took to the air, the steam CT Denal of the Alaska Steamship responded. the United States Army Transport Frederick Funston swung off from its course and the, Coast Guarder Bitte1sweet was soon plow- inc the waters for the distressed vessel.
 The ,Denai. through radar, re- ported theposition of the Eek, the plane caught it, also the transport and the Bittersweet hit the course for the Eek.
 Naturally something is going to happen when one plane and three vessels get busy to give aid to 8 distressed vessel.
 Finally the Bittersweet found the Eek. radioed to the Denali and transport that further assistance was not needed and the plane also picked up the message.
 The Denali changed it's course and proceeded, likewise the trans port
 Sunday forenoon the Bittersweet radioed she was escorting the Eek to safe anchorage at Port Etches to ride cut the storm.
 Coast Guard headquarters in Ju- neau received radio advices this forenoon that the Bittersweet, es- corting the Eek, had arrived at anchorage at Port Etches at l2:4o am. today.
