Smith and his hunting companion, according to informa- tion received in Juneau by Mr. Smith's brothers, J. E. Smith and M. A. Smith, of the Smith Elec- tric Company. Robert M.

Put Off in Small Boat Mr. Smith and one of the other men of the party, wishing to go on a brief expedition ashore, launched a skiff from the power boat and got into the smaller craft. They intended to go through the Salt Chuck Rapids, They have not been seen since, and the fear is felt that their skiff capsized ir the rapids and that they were drowned. The upturned skiff and Mr. Smith's coat have been found in waters below the rapids. Thorough Search Made The United States Coast Guard cutter ‘Alert and numerous small power boats from Ketchikan thor- oughly sedrched the area in which the two missing men might pos- sibly be, but aside from the skiff and the coat, no trace of them has been discovered. The search has been abandoned and all crafts that engaged in it are back in Ketchi- kan. The power boat in which the hunters left Ketchikan returned there with the third member of the party soon after the disap- pearance of Mr. Smith and his companion, to report the unfortu- nate occurrence. — e SELBY COMING NORTH Harry B.
