Show VERN GLADE MAY 1, 2001 VER: Yeah, we couldn't do that and they didn't want to be seen anyway. Submarines we did have up there but that's about all. But ifthere's anything- BBL: You're talking Japanese submarines? VER: Japanese submarines. If any time there was any scare at all they wouldn't send us out. They might hold us a day or two to make sure that, because we traveled alone all the time. The only time we didn't travel alone is they had, before the winter come, up the Kuskokwin River up in Bethel, they had to get the troops out of there before it froze over. So there's five vessels including us that went up Bristol Bay in the Kuskokwin River, but we had to wait for a pilot boat because the river, the sandbars, you had to have somebody that knows the river. So these five boats we'd go back and forth just trailing. You follow the boat ahead of you. You had a big boat that burned coal and there was three of our boats and then they had a, Ford family cavinaw yacht that they'd taken over, the Army had. Oh, I'd like to have been on that. But that was nice. And then we got them out of there. And we had, we were going to the Pribilof Islands one time but that got called off, to take some people that do the for the seals up there. I don't know what they wanted us to do but they called that off. We didn't do that. BBL: Oh. VER: But it was interesting. Seeing a lot of bad weather. Oh, I've never seen such violent weather in my life. When we were in Amchitka the hurricane flag was going up all the time, that's over seventy-five miles an hour. And depending on what direction, it was the direction out to the northeast, come right in that Constantine Harbor; man there 's powerboats that been put clear up on land. BBL: Really? Wow. 18 |
