PR0WLER INVADES
 WRANGELL; ROUTED
 FROM SEVERAL HOMES

A prowler was being sought in Wrangell this week by city police and the Deputy Marshals office following reports from several res idents of the community that their homes had been invaded by an un- known man.
 The intruder was first reported near the head of the bay where he had entered the Loyal Binkley and James Gillen homes during the night. Mrs. Binkley was awakened by the man putting his hand on her knee in the bed where she and her husband were sleeping. AS she jumped up, the intruder fled. Money and her purse lying on a dresser in the bedroom were un- disturbed. At the Gillen home Mrs. Gillen was awake and shouted when the unknown figure entered the house "get out of here" and again the man fled into the night.
 Wednesday night a mysterious stranger was seen in the vicinity of the hospital and the R. w. Nc Kibben home. Police Chief Jerry Marshal and City Councilman Ole Haaseth, who were patrolling in the area, spotted the man about a block away as he was about to en- ter the McKibben house. They gave chase but the intruder dis appeared into the wooded area nearby. Further search failed to rout him out.
 Officers are continuing a thorough search and advise resi- dents it would be we'll to keep their doors locked at night.

the British ship Dunearn arrived at Sitka with 2,50O tons of Car diff coal for the U. S. Navy. She sailed directly from Wales to Sit ka and discharged at the Navy coaling station on Japonski Is land. She then loaded some timber and lumber from the Sitka saw mill. There seems to be no record now available as to just how much lumber she took, but it pro- bably was not great. Anyway, she sailed from Sitka for Portland, Ore, where she was to fill with lumber and sail to South Africa
 The Kosho Maru, Bob, cleared the international port of Wrangell, Alaska, directly for Tokyo, Japan, with no stops at Portland or other ports, and the first vessel so to do. She may have given Sitka a couple of toots as she passed out to sea on the Great Circle route. It's a good town, too.
