A good many of these old boats have been lying for years at peaceful moorage in the Lake Union graveyard. But like old fire horses that once again hear the fire bell, these old hulls are answering the need of their country We have no doubt that before the shooting over, we will hear a few more stories of these for- mer Alaska vessels.. Some, no doubt, are destined to play tragic roles in the war while others will be cast in heroic parts in the struggle.
