PGS SANDY STEVENS SAFE AFTER HAZARDOUS TRIP At least one week overdue from a chartered trip to Tedd in his gasboat Sadie, Sandy Stevens re- turned to port here last night under |a full spread of eanvass, and as- |sisted by a one-lunged engine. | A week ago last Saturday Stev- ens started out on his trip which |would ordinarily not have taken more than three or four days. A broken connecting rod on his en- . 'gine, however, while rolling in the ,& heavy swells occagioned by the storms of a week ago, forced him to get all the canvass aboard up. After more or less harrowing ex- periences, Stevens made the trip to town from Marmion Island in 45 minutes last night, he said.
