N. E. Bolshanin, Deputy Collector of Customs at Sitka, wired the Haida here last night through the Customs Office, giving meager de- tails, and asking for aid. The Haida was to proceed to Sitka and pick up the master of the boat Heidvick to act as pilot in the search for the craft, missing in the vicinity of St. Lazaria Island, off Cape Edgecumbe. Among those missing is the num- ber boat, Chickadee, the gasboat Joan L., with a crew of one, and the gasboat Ketchum, with a crew of two. Another craft is reported sunk toward Cape Edgecumbe, The Heidvick master conducted a short search yesterday, but was driven back to port by heavy seas, and a Navy plane from the Sitka Naval Air Station also conducted a fruitless search.
