 No names are given. but it seems that a certain workman from the B & B gang felt an irresistible desire to cough while walking along the dock with both arms full. And cough he did. With a cry of horror, he watched helplessly as his beau tiful store teeth flew from his mouth and dropped into the depth of Resurrection Bay. Vii sions of endless meals of mashed potatoes, gravy and mush, not to mention good round dollars flashed through his mind.
 As he stood gazing at the cold briny tide which had gobblcd his worries leaving no dent from lllt Qtillltl II lNllNt III liNNN' appeared at his side The friend, also unnamed, is purported to be student at Princeton, or Yale, or Harvard, or some other ln- stitutiOn of learning, who is ad- vcnturing during the vacation season longsLoring in Seward.
 Quickly he stripped to shorts and dove into the 38 degree waters of Resurrection Bay In only two tres, they claim, the QlNer rescued the lost teeth, and relisved the distress of the own CT, who probably v.iIl cover nlS mouth the next time he has to cough on Seward dock.
 Teeth in place, clothes r. placed, work resumed on the dock and all is well We do not know whether the student plans any extensive swimming in the Bay this summer, but assume that ha is satisfied by his first plunge in always cold Rcsur- rection Bay.
