Ross Kilpatrick, piloting Flane No. 4 of the Alaska Flying Squadron, was to make o flight, up the Unak River seeking trace of a missing party of twelve international boundary surveyors who were due to arrive at Wrangell two weeks previous. Rich mineral had been uncovered at William Henry Bay, according to a report made by President Charles W. Mason, of the Alaska Endicott Mining Company. Lady Clementine, descendant of Holstein royalty, who had for two seasons been engaged in furnishing nourishment for infants and invalids at the Hoonah cannery, arrived in Juneau and was to occupy a stall in the Juneau Dairy for the winter. E. Barbee, who had been a member of the Signal Corps staff in Juneau for several years, left on the City of Seattle for Seattle. E. S. Hewitt of the E.
