CUT YOURSELF A NEW WARDROBE B. M. Behrends 'VIC GROUNDING IS RECOUNTED BY PASSENGER Calmness Characterized Those on Steamer During | 60 Hours on Pointer Is. (Continued mom ®azc One) along and at dn_ ight unsuccess- fully attempted to tow the Victoria off the beach, at about 9 a.m. Regular ship routine carried throughout the day, and ew Year’s Eve was observed generally, aceording to customs ashore. The cutter Haida arrived Tuesday morning and with the aid of the Griffico tried to separate the Vie- toria from her Pointer Island gar- age, but without success. Captain Odsen advised that the tides were getting larger, and aft- er removing considerable coal and ol to a salvage barge brought alongside by a small salvage tug he hoped to get off on the Wednes- day morning tide. If not the pas- sengers would be transferred to the Northland. ‘Wednesday morning, with the Northland less than a mile away, and the Haida and Griffeo pulling her own propeller churning in re- verse and the passengers cheering, the Victoria slid gently into deep water and the jourmey was re- sumer at 8:50 a.m., approximately 62 hours after beaching. Diversions Pass Time Among other diversions the pas- sengers tried song writing. Miss Florence Tobin of Ketchikan cre- ated what became a theme song of several verses, to the tune of “I Like Mountain Music": “We are shipwrecked sailors, good old shipwrecked sailors, Bound for the port of Juneau Town. ‘We smashed at Pointer Island; it's a mighty highland, Gosh, but we thought we'd never land. Oh, we have tales to tell of our mates and shipwrecked buddies, Pinochle And a host of games of the teapot flaver. We are shipwrecked sailors, good old shipwrecked sailors, Bound for the port of Juneau town.” Passengers’ Letter In other words—make your own! tomorrow.

Victoria, Jan. 2, 1935. Captain H. Odsen, Commander, 8. S. Victoria. Dear Captain Odsen: The undersigned passengers desire to express their sincere appreciation for the splendid attitude and efficiency of your- self and your crew during the recent emergency caused by the grounding of the 8. S. Victoria, on Pointer Island. The purser, stewards and crew, when the ship struck, im- mediately and calmly helped all passengers to put on life preservers, advised them there was no immediate danger, went through all staterooms to be sure that everyone was awak- ened and aware of the situa- tion, and generally, in a cour- teous and calm way reassured and looked after all passen- gers. Your immediate sending for help. and the consistent and eventually successful efforts you made in floating the “Vie- toria” are recognized and appre- ciated fully by all of us and we are cognizant of the measures you took for our comfort and safety. We thank you, and trust that we may again have the privi- lege of sailing with you and your efficient crew at some future date.
