The pontoons were punctured and fill- ed with water as Pilot Chet Mc- Lean taxied to the third finger of the Alaska Juneau rock dump. A call for aid in lifting the plane out of the water was sent to the U. 8. Coast Guard cutter Tallapoosa which responded by sending a motor dory to the scene. Slight damage to the fusilage was caused when swells from a pass- ing ferry threw the rudder of the motor dory into the fusilage while the dory had a line under the tail of the plane, Pilot McLean said. No serious damage was done and the plane will be repaired and ready for business tomorrow morn- ing, Pilot McLean said. In the Patco, which was bound for Skagway winen the accident occurred were Pilot McLean and T. J. Jacobsen, of Port Alexander and A. A.
