C. Arnold, United States commission er, by Lars Martinsen, of the troller Virginus, about the loss of his partner and co-owner of the boat, Fred Johansen, reports the Ketchikan Chronicle. The statement says the accident took place at Coco Harbor, near View Cove, Dali Island, April 7, at 11 a. m. The statement reads: Martinsen and deceased were trolling and deceased, who was at the wheel of the Virginus, at tempted to pass inside a certain small island in shallow water— missed course and struck a rock with the trolling hatch open. The boat listed sharply, righted itself | impact and list caused the skiff lying on the deck to float away. When the ship righted itself about a foot of water was discovered in the forecastle. The hatch cover was removed and water bubbled up from below. Bbth men thought the boat had lost a plank. The skiff was then about 20 feet away. Johansen decided to swim for the skiff as Martinsen could not swim. Johansen removed his clothes stating that he did not need a line and swam to the skiff which was drifting before the wind. He apparently got the cramps but remained with the skiff for about 15 minutes when he capsized it trying to get in. He then went out of sight. In the meantime Martinsen had fastened a light line to .a cask and threw it over board hoping it would drift to Johansen so he could be pulled in. After Johansen disappeared Martinsen floated the boat and found that the water had entered through the trolling hatch. He started the engine and cruised in the vicinity two hours but saw nothing of the body. He then came to Ketchikan.

VOLCIDIG DUST TELL ON VESSELS FAR OUT ON THE PACIFIC SAN FRANCISCO, May 2. </P)— Dust that fell on the decks of the Matson liner Maui and the freight er Manukai 300 miles off shore last Thursday, practically halting both vessels because of its im penetrability, is from some vol cano in eruption. This was the opinion of Univer sity of California authorities who examined samples of the dust turned over to them by officials of the Matson Navigation Com pany. Interest in the phenomena is accentuated by the fact that no volcano has been reported in erup tion recently. The ash is believed to be from some volcano whose activity is not yet known to the world.
