HOLMES WRECKED IN GALE, SEATTLE, Nov. 10—®—The for- mer sailing ship C. S. Holmes, fam- ed for service in the Alaska furl trade, was wrecked last night in a gale that hit the west coast of Brit- ish Columbia. The ship was being towed by the | Tahsis Company barge Joan G. from Zeballos, B. C. to Port Alberni| when the tow line parted in the storm near Esteban. Carried toward shore by the wind, the Holmes smashed against rocks and was broken into four pieces. ‘Word of the accident was received here by agents of the Tahsis Com- | pany. | The Holm a four-masted Wash., in 1893, was operated in the Alaska fur trade by the late Capt. | John Backlund and his son, John, Jr. For years the ship made annual voyages to Point Barrow.

Thi: week he has been installing pipes and fittings for the refrigerated helds of the Golden Glow, a 96- foot tuna clipper being built at the Peterson Boat Building Co. And how is the family? Paul has a hard time keeping up with them. There's an even dozen, scat- tered from Juneau to Richmond In Richmond are Mrs. Satko, Wil- liam 18, Betty 14, Northsea 10, May Esther 8, and Charles 4%'%. Roy and Earl, older sons, are still in Richmend; two daughters are in Alaska, one son has been here but is on his way to Alaska; another is up near the Canaglan border and yet another is in Spokane. One of Satko's reasons for re- turning to the coast is his love for fishing. While spending the sea- son on the Alaska banks, he found it a fine sport, even while earning a living at it. He had the thrill of catching a 75-pound salmon on one occasion and a 7-foot halibut on another. Exclaimed Satko: “That halibut pulled my little poat around like it was a toy. I finally got close enough to shoot the fish in the head and then I was able to handle it a little bet- ter.” »NOTICE —_—— ¢The thinking fellow ' Calls a YELLOW* PHON 22 OR 14 FOR A A call was made for the Douglas| ~ TENT HOTEL TOWN'’S 1,000TH A Oberrcifenberg march in a historical procession celebrating the town’s 1.000th anniversary : g NNIVERSAR h Resident: THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, s of the West German town of ALASKA FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1950 Royal O'Reilly, Taku Lodge, and Carl Heinmiller, Port Chilkoot.
