The Eagle's cargo totaled only 6700 pounds of halibut as a result Alaska Coast Fisheries bought the catch at 9 and 6% cents a pound. The Eagle will leave today for Chatham Strait on a black cod trip, and will go through to Seattle with her load. — e Juneau Hunters Take “Rare” Bird In Southeast A “strange bird” which baffles identification has been brought to Juneau after being taken in South- east Alaska by a hunting party made up of Lance Hendrickson and Mr. and Mrs. Martin Lavenik.
