YOUNG SALMON'S MOVEMENTS STUDIED
During the first two weeks of July, the numbers along the islands decreased still further and, except irj| Beaver Passage, catches never exceeded 500 fish per set. Fish were no longer present at the Gnarled Islands or in Ogden Channel.
In Beaver Passage, however, the relative abundance increased after June, and catches of 1,000 to 5,000 fish per set were made. Off Zayas Island, catches were

Information on vertical distribution of pink salmon is scanty. They were observed and caught over deep water by purse seine and beach seine from dawn to dusk, indicating that some at least are close to the surface at all times of day.

During the first half of August, except in the Ogden Channel-Beaver Passage area and a few other scattered localities, fish were no longer available along the beaches. Fishing in Browning Entrance and in Hecate Strait, which produced pink salmon, yielded no chums. By the end of August, in spite of some fish-

SOCKEYE SALMON:
In Chatham Sound, sockeye salmon were caught only during the early part cf the investigation. At no time were they found to be abundant and the catches per set never exceeded 100 fish.
During the first two weeks in June, sockeye were relatively most abundant in the mouth of the Skeena River, but were also present along the mainland beaches, and in smaller numbers along a few scattered beaches on the west side of Chatham Sound.
During the following two weeks, they were generally found in the same localities as previously, but in reduced numbers.
By mid-July, only solitary individuals were caught. All but one, which was taken 100 yards from shore in purse-seining operations in Beaver Passage, were caught along the beaches. No young sockeye salmon were caught after mid-July.
In Johnstone Strait, sockeye salmon were considerably more abundant than in Chatham Sound. During June, they were absent along beaches east of Alert Bay.
In the Alert Bay locality during the last week of June, they were abundant but by mid-August only moderate numbers were present.
Moderate numbers of young sockeye were also caught in Queen Charlotte Strait from mid-August to early September, but usually only over deep water around rocky islands offshore.
Summary of Studies
The results in 1955, sketchy though they are, do indicate the spread of young pink and chum salmon seaward, the presence of concentrations close to shore until late July or early August and movement away from shore at about that time. By early September pink salmon were found at least 12 miles from land; chum salmon at least one mile. Young sockeye, in the northern area at least, were not caught as successfully, perhaps because they did not concentrate on the beaches in the same manner. Such catches as were made in both areas suggest a similar movement and disappearance from inshore areas late in the
summer.

insist it is an understatement, estimate at least 40 flash fires, shooting up in many different and unexpected spots. Even the wheelhouse and galley did not escape this latest threat to the vessel.
To make matters even worse, one of the fuel tanks had sprung a leak and several times the pressurised fuel lines burst, spraying fuel oil over everything, including the generators.
Pete "Lit Up"
Water picked up by the fly wheel caused short circuits in the generators, and on two occasions, engineer Pete Hansen was literally lit up like a Christmas tree.
"Blue sparks were shooting out in all directions from Pete", John Rivers said, but added that he dived right back to work on the generators.
