Young Dimond is in St. Ann's Hospital where he was taken by Everett Kirchofer, after Dimond had walked across the shoals near the PAA Airport, near where the boat was beached. The youngster was attempting to start the engine in a boat in which he and Ed Levin and Kenneth Chisholm had been towing logs in Lynn Canal, for use in the Shrine of St. Terese, now under construc- tion.

He said after the visit that the boy is doing very well, and is in good condition and unless com- plications develop, should be out of the hospital in two or three weeks, though it will ta addi- tional weeks before he en- tirely recover. Delegate Dimond was assured at the hospital that there will be no| permanent injuries as a result of the burns, with the exception of a few scars. “And I guess that won't bother him much,” said the father, | considerably relieved over the gen-| eral condition in which he found will the boy.
