Marine biologiats said there was little chance the four-metre whale would live. They didn’t expect her -to survive the 500-kilometre, 11- hour trip to Seattle, "We aldo’! expect It to aurvive to Portland, much lesa Seattle,” sald Michael Bailey of the Greenpeace Foundation in Portiand. “It's just a baby, two or three days old.. Chances aren't good but it's swim- ming, and that’s against all odda, too," The whale stranded itself at high tilde on the beach near Rockaway, on the -Oregon coast west of Por: Hand Tuesday afternoon, he Bailey anid when he arrived at the beach people at the scene had- ad tried to roll the whale ba into the surf but it beached iteelf again. With the help of the Oregon State Universtiy Marine Selence Center at Newport, Ore., and about 40 people the whale, estimated to weigh 460 kilograms was loaded on: a flat trailer, Residents of the beach area donated mattresses which were soaked to keep the whale wet during the journey. Dr, Tag Gornall, a mammal veterinarian with the Marine Animal Resource Center In Seattle decided to take the animal to the aquarium on the Seatte waterfront, Bailey said. As the trailer carrying the whale was lowered Into a salmon holding pond at the aquarius and she started moving her tail, one of the Greenpeace group sald they wanted to call her Tenacity, . stranded “Florence,'’ responded mall, Gornall sald he was sur- prised his patlent was alive.

ON FOG PORT MecNEILL, B.C. (CP) — Pilots flying into northern Vancouver laland alrports often gamble that morning fog will burn off by time planes arrive at their deatinations, —, It usually does, but it didn't Tuesday. As a result, four men died and five were injured when a twin-engine plane crashed into a steep liside in heavy fog about 20 kilometres south of here. The victims were Iden- tified as pilot Ray Crandall, 53, of Nanaimo, B.C., Grant William Horsman, 22, of Port Alberni, B.C., Daniel - Mallette, 50, and Peter Grant, both of Victoria. The survivors were flown to Vancouver General Hospital. A hospital spokesman said Wednesday that James Common of Nanaimo and George Popplestone of Ladyamith,:- B.C.,. were lh poor conditlon with serious burn... Three others — Dan Preshyon, 22, and Anthony Vasha, 28, both of Cor- nerbrook, Néld,, and Ernest Deer of Victoria — were in satisfactory condition with minor burns, The Pacific Coastal Airlines plane had started its flight in Nanaimo and stopped in Comox befare lifting off for the 270-kilo- metre flight to Port Hardy. Preshyon and Vasha, who seid they survived because they were sitting near the rear of the 10-seat Britten Norman Islander, said passengers were told before ‘takeoff that fog in the Port Hardy area was expected to burn off before noon. However, the plane entered thick fog en route. They sald in an interview in Vancouver that the pilot swerved about for 10 minutes in an attempt to find clear “He kept going," said Pre- shyon. “He panicked, This Is strictly my opinion anyway. "He just headed straight into the fog and kept going.” “The pilot said 'Oh my God’ when hesaw the trees," said Vasha. Don McGilllvary, president of the Nanalmo- aed airline, sald there was fog e weather report before the pilot took off, but It was expected to clear be- fore the noon arrival. It didn't clear until about 2 “Ninety per cent of the time Itelears b by noon. Pretty well everyone counts on that and flies according! McGillivary said the, plane waa equipped with in- struments, but was flying on visual flight rules, the usual procedure for planes on euch routes. He said pilots aren't supposed to fly in fog, but Pilots take the gamble . before being flown to Van- couver, have to know what to do if they are caught in it, You have to have an al- ternative plan — either climb up through the fog, get above it, or turn around. Sometimes you get caught.” Hesaid Crandall had flown for the airline since 1973. The impact ellpped the wings of the plane, which exploded several seconds after impact, “When she crashed, she ignited about a second after she hit,” said Preshyon, “That's all we could do was get out. “My shirt was on fire when we got out. We were in a lot of paln, but we were glad we survived.” Preshyon made his way down toa beach, about 450 to 600 metres below the crash site, where he was picked up by a fishing boat. There is no road access to the crash alle 60 rescue workers were taken by boat to a nearby beach and slashed through bush welng chainsawa, sald search and rescue spokes- man Dick Pepper. Tt took the 15-man team about three hours to travel between three and five Kilometres ta reach the in- jured. The survivors were taken to hospitala In Port Hardy and Port McNeill Natives protest VANCOUVER (CP) — Yukon Indian leadera have served noticeon the National Energy Board that they will intervene in ite hearings on rival applications by Trans Mountain Pipellne Co. Ltd. of Vancouver and Foothills Oil Pipeline Ltd, of Calgary to transport of] from Alaska. They will ask that no certificate’ of public con- venience and necessity be granted to the Foothills company, says a notice repared by Vancouver wyers for the Council of Yukon Indians. The Indians have also given notice that they will ask when the proceedings open Oct, 2 in Ottawa for immediate adjournment and a rescheduling of the hearings in Whitehorse and Vancouver. The application will give support to a request made by 10 B.C. environmental groups that the hearings be reconvened in Vancouver. An affidavit sworn by Dennis MeCren of the Vancouver law firm of Rosenbloom, McCrea and Leggatt, declares that the people moat directly affected y the pipeline applications ali live in the Yul ‘on, B.C. and Alberta. The nollce of intervention prepared by Donald Rosenbloom, lawyer for the Yukon Indians, points out that the council is present! engaged in negotiations wi the federal government towards a coriprehensive settlement of thelr land claims issue. “These negotiations have not yet been consummated in a settlement, nor is one anticipated In the immediate future," the notice says, “The lands which are planned pipeline embodied within the proposed Foothills corridor (generally along the route of the Alaska Highway and the proposed natural gas pipeline as well) are lands claimed by the Council for Yukon Indians on behalf of the Yukon le, “Tt ls ind pulable that the construction of d pipeline through these lands will have a large Influence on the course of future negotlationa, and on the resolution of the natives’ claim to aboriginal ttle.” However, the notice says the Indians' interest is not limited simply to the issue of land claims, “The interest of the Council of the Yukon Indians in the pipeline issue is, therefore, clear, direct and dramatic,"’ Rosenbloom saya. Speed limits may go up VICTORIA (CP) — High- ways Minister Alex Fraser said Tuesday it is time to look at highway speed limits with a view to raising them. Fraser sald British Colum- blan motorlats generally are driving faster than the speed limit and the fault may be with the apeed Limit itself and not the drivers. “T've tested It myself and al 80 km-h, you're the laat one on the road because everyone is going by. They make me feel like I'm standing still,’* Drivers get radar warning Police radar in Kitimat has succeeded in cutting down the number of injuries resulting from traffic accidents and traffic patrol officer Phil Eafton says the RCMP detachment intend to continue its use of radar. “We decided at our last staff meeting to let the public know about our intentions this week to con- centrate on school zones by means of the radar, "he raid. Eafton was appointed as a full time traffic of- ficer on April firat. “Tt was damn time we had a traffic section here in Kitimat because some of the driving is atrocious,” he commented. Since Eafton has started his job, satistics indicate a rapid decline in the number of accidents resulting in Injuries . though the total number of traffic charges is sharply up over a year ago. “Moat of these are radar charges, and basically the enforcement level has increased dramatically in Kitimat.” Statistics reveal 135 charges were made in August of this year, as compared to only 44in August 1978. The figures further reveal that 35 per cent of the accidents in 1978 resulted in injuries,that figure dropping to 9 per cent this year. Eafton is net concerned with the high level of charges, “I think the trend will be for a high level af enforcernent, and it will gradually ease off as people learn to comply with the rules,” he said. “The whole idea of radar is trying to ‘get volun compliance with the trafficlaws, andso far it seme be working,"’ Eafton said.
