The

In

at'

at
8
o'clock
last
night,
according
to
a
report
received
at
the
district

of

here
this

Victim
of
the
drowning

was
Edward
Lattree,
aged
36,
whose
address
was
not

in

report.
Apparently

shouting
distance
of
Alaska
brought
them
to
Prince
Rupert.
"We
were
half
tempted
to
drive
over
the
Alaska
Highway
to
Fairbanks,
but
we
were
warned
in
Edmonton
that,
if
our
car
was
not

shape,
we
had
better
not

it,"
said
Graves.
Their
car,
of
1941
vintage,
has
given
them
no

At
Edmonton,
they
spent
a

visiting
