Messages | from the tug said the Lori-Ann was anchored, and an unidentified fish- | ing vessel was expected to tow it to port The Lori-Ann 50 was disabled miles southwest of Cape St. Elias yesterday when a line fouled its| propellor. The line was still en- tangled in the screw when the Ma- hopac spoke to the Lori-Ann The fishing vessel Witch, which called for assistance after. running | out of fuel was also found late yes- terday in the Middleton Island area. The Mahopac sighted the 43- foot vessel 12 miles northwest of | Middleton Island and reported that the vessel Galveston was in the area to assist the Witch This morning the Sitka-based Coast Guard cutter Cahoone. was speeding toward the northern Gulf | of Alaska area to aid in the search for the two missing craft.

Avrit and M SEARCH CONTINUES FOR TWO VESSELS MISSING IN GULF A 36-foot seine boat, identitied as the Sea Hawk, is still missing in the storm-tossed Gulf of Alaska and another fishing vessel is reported overdue at Cordova. But three fishing vessels which sent out distress calls yesterday are apparently out of danger today, ac- cording to Coast Guard spokesmen here. The Sea Hawk broke loose while being towed by the fishing vessel Glenwood early yesterday morning. Three persons were reported to be aboard the vessel. The Glenwood, reported to be in “great danger” early yesterday as waters broke over its wheelhouse, was sighted yesterday afternoon by a U.S. Navy Neptune patrol bomber 20 miles northwest of Cape St. Elias. The Navy aircraft reported the Glenwood was making six knots. But the Sea Hawk was not sighted. Meanwhile, Whiz Halferty Can- neries, Inc., in Cordova, reported to the Coast Guard that a 36-foot tish- ing vess the Double Knot, was overdue. The vessel was last seen off Middleton Island, southwest of Cape St. Elias, Tuesday evening by the fishing vessel John Wayne. Three men are believed to be aboard the Double Knot. This vessel is missing in the same area in which the Midget, a 34-foot fishing vessel, disappeared about May 12.
