Cook Inlet
 Undersea Oil-Cas Vesuyius Tanned

ANCHORAGE tR - A blazing monument to the difficulties of underwater oil exploration was ex- tinguished today.
 Pan American Petroleum Corp reported the Cook Inlet well which has been burning out of control since Aug. "A, 1862, had "bridged itself" at am. today and stopped flowing oil and gas.
 Officials said they were not cer- tain exactly what had happened 12,000 feet below the surface of the inlet. However, they said some 10000 barrels of sea water pumped down a relief well gradually flowed into the producing well bore - apparently causing the walls of the burning we'll to soften and slough off, forming a rock plug at the bottom of the well.
 That was the aim of extensive relief drilling, which began with in week of the blowout last year.
 This was believed to be the first time that a wild well had been killed in a deep water marine op- eration of this type - involving relief hole directionally drilled from a nearby floating vessel.
 The flames of the burning torch were visible on clear nights from Anchorage, and were a beacon to airline pilots and other fliers hom- ing into Anchorage at night.
 The first word that the 14-month effort to shut off the fire had succeeded came from the Federal Aviation Agency, which was noti- fled immediately by Pan Am off cialS.
 The well was a joint venture by Skelly Oil Co.,, Phillips Petroleum Go. and Sinclair Oil and Gas Co.,, with Pan American acting as op- orator.
 The well was drilled to 12,OOO feet when unexpected pressures at the bottom of the hole caused oil and gas to blow out at the surface.

THE DISCOVERY OF ALASKA =
Bering Plagued bv Intrigue of Officials

he finally agreed, as much as he hated violence. Pisarjev put up only token resistance, then fled, but the defeated governor con- tinued to undermine the Great Northern Expedition wherever possible. That St. Petersburg still listened to this malicious person is unbelievable, but it was consistent with their policy regarding Com mander Boring.
 Following Pisarjev's example, the other governors were a little more subtle, however. They re- peatedly ignored ordrs from St. Petersburg to extend Boring aid, claiming they never received the instructions, though there was proof enough that they did. Nothing was ever done to chastise their delinquency.
 It is remarkable that Vitus wasn't asked to resign outright, but he never was. Instead, he was sniped at with threats of court-martial and pay cuts. St. Petersburg would go just so far, then retract all their in- suits and re-instate the commander to full status with glowing letters of COmmendatiOn. It was a game they played for eight years, and it is significant the expedition got as far as it did. This alone reveals the commanders virile ability to continue in the face of extreme adversity. A lesser man would have quit a dozen times.
 At one time Alexi Chirikov was directed by the Admiralty to spy on his chief, and send in secret reports. If they were looking for slander and negation, they picked the wrong man, for Chirikov had nothing but good to say. It is very likely that rather than hinder, Alexis reports did Vitus much good.
 Eventually, this continuous tur- moil and insecurity had an effect on Boring, for every man has his breaking point, and Vitus had his. He was aging fast and his splendid energies swiftly disappearing. The heart-break, suspicious and venom cast against his person by ene- mics and even those he once re- garded as friends, took a heavy toll. By May of l741, Boring was a sick man.
 q thank God," he revealed to Chirikov, that next month we sail for America. Another six weeks of this would kill me-"
 The big day, SO valiantly fought for, was drawing near.

Alexi was stunned. 'Court-mar- tialed." he exclaimed in disbelief, after all that you have done?"
 Also" Vitus went on, "They have cut my pay in half" He laughed in spite of the seriousness of the situation, "Trust somebody to think of the ever mighty ruble. That's a sure way to get to me!'
 Alexi was not a swearing man, but the look on his face told plenty.
 "This is disloyal of me-" he clenched his fists, "but Petersburg has treated you badly, and I could be shot for saying it, but you have been used traitorously.' He calmed somewhat with that out of his system. "Who is behind it, Com mander?"
 Cant you guess?"
 "The Academists?"
 "YeS. as well as others. The gov ernors of Siberia have never been helpful, Alexi, as you know. They, along with our scientific friends have created much mischief"
 And St. Petersburg believes all their lies"
 T still have enemies there, too.'
 This conversation, like the ex- pression on Alexis face, tell of plenty. For eight years, Command CT Boring had been mis-used and maltreated by his superiors in the capitol. Concientious and hard working, Boring had given without stint his splendid abilities of lead ership, but he never seemed to sat- isfy those in higher office. He was the sort of man who largely ig- nored the commotion he caused, spending his energies on work rather than engaging in what he thought useless pickering. This harmed him, for his silence en- boldened his detractors.
 One of the things the adminisra- tors in St. Petersburg held over Boring was the partial failure of the expeditions arctic phase. So little was known about these re- oiopc tho4 fba roooy, r o ;ecoroo o~L mapping parties were unexpectedly scuttled by pack ice, bad weather and hostile natives. The blame for this was laid to the commander, though he could hardly have been responsible for the weather, or, for that matter, any of the rest of it.
 While being harped at from home, the several governors at Yakutak, Irkutsk and Okhotak had been un-cooperative to say the least. The governor of Okhotak, a shifty individual by the name of Pisarjev, was the worst. Once a favorite in St. Petersburg, he some how became involved in the wrong politics and was given his post in distant Siberia. Seeking to curry favor, he took up the islander cam paign against Boring with a calcu- lated hope that he might be invited back to the inner circle if his work was effective.
 He became such a nuisance and a hindrance to the expedition, that Spangberg urged Bering to topple the man by battle if necessary.
