The Maxie's captain and owner, Erling C. Haakonson, has reported to the Collector of Customs here that the vessel, official number 229910, is a total loss. It was valued at $4,500. After taking the watchmen off their storm-tossed trap, the Maxie made a run from Brownson Bay. After hitting the rock, Haakonson and his two passengers got off safe- ly. The Maxie reflated on an incom- ing tide but while the vessel Pheas- ant attempted to tow it to safety it foundered and sank for good. — e Subscribe o The Dally Alaska Empire—the paper with the largest paid circulation, BRINGING UP FATHER YES-AND | THINK IT WILL BE HOT TOMORROW - THINK WE WIL.I_ HAVE A HOT YES-IT IS HOT = ISN'T i 5 B MY-ISN'T BY GOLLY-| CAN'T GIT AWAY FROM THE HOT WEATHER- BUT | KIN GIT AWAY FROM | ME FAMILY THAT TALKS OF — VLL GO TAKE A REST CAN'T ANYBODY TALK .
