 end of August and then was transferred to southeast Alaska for the 

 fall patrol. The Ihis was at Chignik, the Crane and Red Wing 

 in the Alaska Peninsula area, and the Coot on the Yukon River. 

 The Blue Wing patrolled the Bristol Bay area until the latter part 

 of July, after which it was on duty in the Kodiak area. 



The Brant was used for general supervisory work, cruising as 

 far as the Pribilof Islands in Bering Sea, and also assisted with the 

 patrol and survey of salmon-spawning streams in southeast Alaska. 



In the spring of 1936 the Brant and Crane assisted with the fur- 

 seal patrol in the vicinity of Neah Bay, Wash., and the Kittiwake 

 performed similar duty near Sitka, Alaska. The last-named vessel

 April 1936 the Eider was assigned to the Works Progress Admin-
