TROLLING BOAT WRECKED, POINT ARDEN, 2 SAVED Game Commlssnon Crew. Rescue Father, Son After ‘ Caroline Goes on Rocks Two members of the crew of the trolling boat Caroline were rescued | at Point Arden this morning by the Alaska Game Commission vessel Seal and brought to Juneau. The wrecked Caroline is still on beach morning on patrol duty and at 9 o'clock off Point Arden Capt. Ken Talmadge and Game Commission officers aboard noted a smoke on the shore, and a wrecked craft on the beach. Investigating, they found Olaf Aase, owner of the -vessel Car- oline, and his father, Harold Aase, both of Juneau, trying to keep warm by a fire on the beach Olaf Aase told Game Warden Douglas Gray that he and his father had purchased the Caroline in Pet- ersburg and were returning to Ju- neau, having left Petersburg on No- vember 20, when the wreck occurred. They had been delayed by bad wea- ther and on November 27 near Point i Bishop, across the channel from Point Arden, they took a heavy sea | through the pilot house that stopped {the engine. They were unable to get the motor started and drifted iall the way across to Point Arden. | Just before the vessel struck, they cast off in the dory and made shore. |Later the Caroline drifted up on the rocky beach and with the out- ! ing tide the men were able to go oard and get their blankets and me food. They had been getting along fairly well, they said but had been miserably wet all the time due ito lack of shelter. The Caroline, formerly owned by Chris Knuteson of Petersburg, badly wrecked, Warden Gray re- ported. The stem and keel of the 37-foot troller are torn off. the rudder is missing and the hull and planking badly shattered from pounding on the beach. Damage is estimated at around $2,000 but ef- fort will be made to salvage the boat, it is reported. | Olaf Aase has been with Capt. {John Sunderland on the Ida II the three seasons and his father ihas beén employed on the halibuter }F,«':vlm‘er Both live in Juneau.

Henderson. Kaiser’s Story Pays Doctors % T. H. Alexander and his son, Buddy, look at Robert L. Ripley’s “Believe It or Not” book, presented the lad by the author, but Buddy's story is stranger than most of the things in the book. Bud’s dad persuaded Col. Luke Lea and seven other Tennesseans to permit publication of the story of their attempt to capture the Kaiser in Holland and take him to Paris for trial. The story pays for an operation on Buddy’s spine, curved seven years ago by =~ attack of infantile paralysis. They are shown in a New York hospital.
