Louis Karson saw his 28~-foot
troller, the “L and L,” disappear
into the depths under high
waves at 5:30 p.m. yesterday,
five miles from safety. And with
his boat went nearly all he
owned.

Beside him stood Anton Vell,
skipper of the Vell K, a 30-foot
cruiser which had towed the
listing fishing boat since 11 a.m.
across a storm-tossed sea. When
the vessel began to sink, Vell
had to cut the to line. This
was four miles north of Tug-
well Island and some five miles
from Prince Rupert’s water-
front.

Saturday morning Mr. Vell
sighted the troller in trouble
near the Green Island light. Mr.
Vell, his wife and young son
were returning aboard their
yacht from a holiday at Goo
Bay. :
“Mr. Vell said he towed the L
and L into God's pocket, a little
bay at the south end of Dundas
Island where they intended to
wait out the storm. The troller
was swamped, but the engine
were still operated.

“We waited until Sunday
morning, but still the weather
was bad. I knew we would have
trouble towing the troller across,
so I tied my speed boat to the
end of the L and L just in case

Cruise Vessel
Officer Saves
Boy's Lif

Quick action on the part of a
ship’s officer probably saved the
life of a small boy in Wrangell,
Alaska, last. week.

While watching passengers dis-
embark from the Canadian Na-
tional Steamships Prince George,
Third Officer F. G. (Fred) Wil-
kins saw the boy struggling in
the water.

Mr. Wilkins saw that the lad
was in immediate danger, and,
although fully clother, he jump-
ed in, caught the boy and car-
ried him over to a piling. A small
boat nearby picked both up and
brought them ashore.

When the Prinee George was
here yesterday morning, Mr.
Wilkins described the boy as

about 7 or 8 years of age and had
suffered no injury.

Karson had to get off in a

“We got started alright, the

it wasn’t long before she blew
up again. The tow lines. would
break time and again and in six
hours we had not made very
much time.

ENGINES STOPPED

Then the engines on the troll-
er stopped and the waves tossed
the boat so hard that more and
more water was shipped aboard.

“We got Karson off and on
our boat, bat we. couldn't stay
near enough fo take off any-
thing else. We were afraid to
bash in our own hull and
couldn’t take the risk with the
family aboard,” explained Vell.
When the troller appeared to
be sinking. fast, Vell cut the
lines that held her to the yacht.
The fishing boat sank quickly.
“Karson just stood and star-
ed,” said Vell. “It was his own
living that went down.”
