RESCUES SMALL BOAT ON BEACH, $ailor Moran Ehnges Into Frigid Waters of Gas- tineau Channel n Shortly after 9:30 last night the telephone bell on the cutter Haida rang a shrill clamor above the howl of a frenzied Taku wind. ‘There is a boat in my back yard”, said a woman's voice. ! The Haida—doctor, courthouse,’ and guardian angel of the water-| front went to work. ! A boat had broken from ité moor-{ ings at the City Float and drifted| between Femmer's dock and Keeny's {lcat where it was pounding on the beach.

Scoville of Ket- chikan, free of the beach. Outside of good seamanship in a gale force wind, that kept the dam- age to the beached boat down to an estimated $50, there was one high- light to the night of storm and rescue. “Sailor” Moran, middleweight boxer who will show his wares in t e ) t the coming smoker, was coming SWIMMING POOL home from shore leave and training At the FYont Street gym while the Haida's small boat was maneuver-, ing Scoville's boat to safety.
