of
Commerce,
was
a
complete
and
gratifying
success,
reflecting
credit
upon
all
parties
concerned.
For
those
persons
more
particularly
interested
in
the
practical
phases
of
nautical
affairs,
such
contests
as
gear
baiting,
salmon
colIectin3
sprint.
Blllnetters',
trollers'
and
utility
vessel
racca,
halibut
gear
setting
and
purse
seine
hauling
proved
highly
satisfactory
In
the
displays
of
skill
exhibited.
For
those
who
desired
the
spectacular,
such
events
as
the
grand
parade
of
boats
provided
a
thrill
while
there
was
action
and
excitement
in
the
inboard
and
outboard
motorboat
events
to
say
nothing
of
th
surf-boat
riding
wind-up
event
of
the
day.
Possibly
the
outstanding
event
of
the
afternoon
was
the
race
j
lor
fish
In?
vessels
of
over
forty-
five
feet
for
a
trophy
and
$25
prize.
The
course
was
a
one-mile
straightaway,
half
miie
after
th;
first
turn
and
one
mile
back.
On
the
first
run,
the
Thelma
S.,
which
Just
nosed
out
the
Cape
Flattery
at
the
finish
line,
was
declared
to
have
failed
to
round
a
marking
buoy
whereupon,
after
much
debating
among
the
Judges
as
to
whether
Thelma
S.
should
be
disqualified
and
the
Cape
Flattery
and
Embla
III
declared
the
winners
or
the
race
re-run
over
a
new
course,
the
latter
decision
was
made.
The
Cape

Flattery
then
took
the
event
by
,
handy
margin
over
the
Thelma
S.

had
Jiecn
entered
in
the
first
running
but
only
the

went
In
th'e"
rerunning.
A
special
event
of
the
afternoon,
not
originally
scheduled
but
which,
nevertheless
proved
one
of
the
highlights
of
the
day,
was
the
demonstration
of
purse
seine
setting
and
hauling
by
Capt.
James
Lclghton
with
the
Irene
May.
Two
well
known
local
hallbut-ters
Oony,
Capt.
Olof
Andreas-son,
and
Atll,
Capt.
William
Bussey,
put
up
a
keen
contest
in
halibut

artl
hauling
and
the
Oony
emerged
the
winner
with
a
three
minute
lead
in
lime
-with
all
other
consideration
even.
Incidentally,
the
Oony
took
three
codfish
on
her
lines.
Another
.particularly
keenly
contested
event
was
the
troller
race
In
which
there
were
numerous
entries.
The
Ronald
M.,
Capt.
n.
Mather,
finished
first
after
o
sprint

kept
the
crowd
on
its
toes,
Porcher

and

FISHERMAN,
FAMILY
ARE
MAROONED
A
Prince
Rupert
trolling
boat
operator
and
his
family
were
rescued
from
bleak
Zayas
Island
Thursday
afternoon
after
they
had
been
marooned
for
several
hours
when
their
boat,
the
28-foot
Irish
Belle,
blown
up
on
the
rocky
shore
during
a
storm
Wednesday
night,
broke
to
pieces
under
the
pounding
of
heavy
'
seas.
Occupants
of
the
boat'
were
Mr.
and
Mrs.
Harry
Pelcsh
and
family,
who
live
on
Eighth
Avenue.
They
were
taken
off
the
small
rocky
island

of

by
fishermen
and
tfansf
erred

Thursday
afternoon.
It
was
expected
that
they
would
arrive
in
Prince
Rupert
this
afternoon.
The
family
group
on
the
deserted
island
was
spotted
yesterday
by
other
trollers
flshlns
nearby
but.
because
of
the
rough
surf
.along
the
shore,
It
was
impossible
to
rescue
them
at
the
time.
A
radio
call
was
put
to
the
provincial
police
here
and
the
P,M.L.

was
sent

were

camp
at

not
far
from

It
is
believed
that
the
engine
of
the
Irish
Belle
may
have
quit
as
the
boat
passed
Zayas

leaving
the

and
its

which,
nourished
in
beauty

BELGRADE
(CP)
The
Belgrade
radio
said
today
that,
as
United

airmen
forced
down
in
Yugoslavia
now
have
been
released,
Marshal
Tito
refuses
to
accept
the
American
ultimatum.
The
broadcast
injected
another
enigmatic
element
into
the
international
tug-of-war
which
started
with
the
shooting
down
of
two
American
trans-f

planes.
It

was
