¢ FIND WRECKAGE ON MIDDLETON ISLAND, REPORT Wreckage May Be of Miss- ing Halibuters Imper- ial or Brunvol With a first hand information of considerable wreckage which was washed up on Middleton Island be- tween November 16 and 20 last year, thought to be from the hali- buters Brunvol or the Imperial, both of which were last sighted 35 miles southwest of Middleton Is- land on November 14, Joe Ibach and Mrs. Ibach arrived in Juneau on the Virginia IV. Mr., Ibach, who has a blue fox farm on Middleton Island, said that between November 16 and 20 considerable wreckage was washed up on the shore of the Island in such condition as to suggest that a boat or boats had been wrecked close by. Those on Middieton Is- land were utterly isolated from last September until a short time ago when the halibut boat Atlantic passed close enough to flag. Mr. Ibach told Capt. John Gerde of the Atlantic about the wreckage and learned for the first time of the supposed fate of the Brunvol and Imperial Wreckage Saved Mr. Ibach and his helpers pulled sufficient of the wreckage up on the beach for one, familiar with the boats lost, to identify it. A list of the wreckage was given to Capt. Gerde who said he would re- port it to the U. 8. Customs office at Ketchikan. It consisted of, part of a pilot house, 32 feet of the guard, hatch covers, a halibut boat dory, booms, tables and other such articles, Mr. Ibach said. Mr. and Mrs. Ibach and R. E. Baily, who is with Mr. Ibach on Middleton Island, were brought in to Lemesurier Island on the At- lantic and came to Juneau for sev- eral days, after being isolated on Middleton Island since last Sep- tember. Long Search Last Fall Both the Brunvol and the Im- perial, halibuters, were searched for by the Coast Guard cutter Unalga. and a score of other boats for over two months last fall, when they failed to return at the end of the halibut season on November 15. The search was carried on from Kodiak Island south, but no trace was found of the unfortunate boats or the 13 men they carried. They had last been sighted on Novem- ber 14 about 35 miles southwest of Middleton Island and the, Island was held as a probable place to find the wreckage, but approach was impossible because of the storms in the Gulf of Alaska.

He is 48 years old, 10 years Pierre's junior. Graduating from the Massachu- setts Institute of Technology at; he age of 21, he went to work as| lan iron works draftsman, but after | » few months was drawn into the| Du Pont family enterprises, E.

The passing on of the General Motors chairmanship to another member of the Du Pont family, therefore, caused no surprise in fi- nancial circles. Pierre Du Pont resigned the chairmanship last Au- gust, stating that he feared that his activities with the Association Against the Prohibition Amend- ment, might give the impression that the corporation was involved in the movement. His resignation was not accepted, however, until the February meeting. He re- mains a director and a member of the finance committee. Leaving Massachusetts of Technology with a degree of Civil Engineering Lammont Du Pont obtained a position as drafts- man with the Pencoyd Iron works, a subsidary of the United States Steel corporation.
