MONDAY, JAN, 3, HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, ORECON PACE TEN Wind Balks Rescue Try In Alaska KODIAK, Alaska, Jim. 6 MV-Cut ofl both by land and sea, nine and possibly 10 shivering castaways huddled on a rocky. Ice-coated point or the Alaska peninsula, opposite Kodlak Island, today as a navy tug and a coast guard cutter waited out a 60-mlle an hour storm before at tempting a rescue. For all but three of the men it was their fifth night of exposure to the freezing cold. Heavy seas whipped up by the tale balked rescue efforts Sunday hir the third day, and forced the cutter Clover to seek shelter in Portage bay, at whose mouth the men are stranded. Three of the men are crewmen from the nnvy tug Mataco. Rescue Failure They struggled to shore Saturday night after their surf boat capsized in a daring rescue attempt The others have been stranded since their 65-foot cannery tender, the motorship Spencer, struck i reef December 31 and broke up tn the pounding surf. Aerial photo graphs taken by a search plane allowed a group of either six or seven men huddled on the point. Previous reports said six had been seen. "There were no visible casual ties." the Kodiak naval base said. The scene is but five miles over land from the village of Kanatak, but high cliffs and Impassable ter . rain prohibits rescue attempts from lhat direction, the navy said. Only one of the stranded men has been identified. He is Lt (jg) E J. Kratochvil, Washington, D. C, of the tug Mataco. Three Dead In Shooting Case SEATTLE, Jan. 5 (Pi The "mis placed Jealousy" of an estranged husband led yesterday to the fatal shooting of a Vashon island couple and death of the distraught slayer. The husband. Robert Maynard. a power company lineman, killed himself in the yard of his home after shooting Mr. and Mrs. Carl Esterle as they sat reading in their living room. County Detective Chief Adam Lyskoski said Investigation dis closed that Maynard, 44, "incor rectly blamed his brother-in-law and sister-in-law for his own mar riage going on the rocks." Mrs. Maynard told Lyskoski she had seeirher husband emerge from his car with a 30-30 carbine. "I thought he was coming to kill me. He had threatened to kill me if I ever started divorce proceedings again." "I hid In a closet," she continued. "I was afraid to breathe. Then I heard shots and I ran out to a neighbor's house and called the sheriff." Officers said Maynard made no apparent attempt to find his wife. Neither did he try to halt the Esterle's 15 - year - old daughter, Marilyn, who fled from an upstairs room past the body of her mother and drove to the home of a neigh bor where she collapsed.
