BY GOLLY- ITS GOo! JUST TO WALK IN THE OLD NEIGH! HoOD - THERES SMALTZ'S GROCERY STOI IT LOOKS JUST THE SAME FOLAR BEAR STILL AMON3 SHIPS LOST Worms May Have LEaten Bottom Out of Former Juneau Craft S1ill no word has been heard from the motorsh'p Polar Bear in the ixodiak a » The Pclar Bear, recenlly raised from the bottom by Diver John La Qasa, was reported to have salled from Kodiak on March 29, bound for Seward via Port Williams, on Shuyak Island, but she has been unreported since. Four men were aboard, Capt. La Gasa, his son, and two men, Paul Anderson and Alex Woche Two theories have been advanced as to the Polar Bear's disappear- ance. One theory is that rad wea- ther that prevailed in the Kodiak region from latter March to April 8, has caused the Polar Bear to heave to in Port Williams to await favorable weather for the cressing of the wide open stretch between Shuyak Island and the mainland As no radio station is in operation at Port Williams and little poat traf- fic is noted i that area, the Polar Bear might easily be moored there with no way of getting word out. A more unpleasant theory ad- vanced by mariners is that in view of the fact the Polar Bear lay on the bottom cf the sea for nearly a year, it is entirely probaple that worms ate the bottom out to such an extent that the craft opened up in the first heavy sea she struck. The Polar Bear formerly oper- ated out of Juneau for several years as the Margnita, Wins M Games pitcher who can win his own games at bat.
