said in an interview that Nanceda had unloaded halibut at Prince Rupert and was bound for Aristazabal Island to take on bait when the accident occurred.
After the collision, h£ said, planks on both sides of the bow were sprung from the stem and several hours of patching by divers was necessary to make the vessel seaworthy for the tow back to Prince Rupert.
In an unrelated incident.
imbination-boat fisherman Michael Toevs and his wife Ona escaped unharmed July 8 when a tide rip capsized their Silver Foam near Cape Lazo.
He had just started to turn the vessel, Toevs said, when a wave seemed to catch the boat and swamp it. They were able to fire off flares before their boat sank. They were picked up in the water by Sea Foam and taken to Comox.

Charlottes' Hart resigns but new officer sought
arrests of loggers attempting to clear the timber led to a confrontation between the federal department and the province which was only resolved when fisheries agreed to permit clear-cutting on certain conditions.
A report in the Queen Charlotte Islands Observer
June 21 says Hart resigned June 15 for personal reasons and will operate the gillnetter Silver Lane in an effort to supply fish to local markets.
Fisheries field director Ron MacLeod has denied reports thai the Queen Charlotte Islands will be left without a forestry protection supervisor in the wake of the resignation of incumbent Jim Hart.
"There will be a competition to fill the job," MacLeod said July 9. "That vacancy will be filled."
Hart was instrumental earlier this year in mounting the abortive defence of Riley Creek on Rennell Sound against clear-cut logging. Fisheries' repeated
