Nine miles off Alaska's Kachemak Bay, Skipper Gene Cameron and his two crewmen maneuvered the 40-ft. Kathy C. along a string of buoys and hauled crab pots, one at a time, from the bottom, 100 ft. below. By day's end, the trawler's tanks were crawling with 6,624 lbs. of Alaskan king crab, which were promptly delivered to a Wakefield Seafoods, Inc., processing plant. Such pickings, by Kathy C. and a fleet of 40 other crabbers, have made Wakefield's founder, Lowell Wakefield, the leader of the fastest-growing segment...
...Having Trouble?" Wakefield started with $50,000 capital in 1945, two years later launched his specially designed trawler, Deep Sea, a 140-footer equipped to catch, cook, freeze, pack and otherwise do just about everything but sell king crab. And selling turned out to be the big problem. "I found there wasn't one chef in a hundred who would bother to try it," says Wakefield. To stir up enthusiasm, he hired a Manhattan promoter who dumped the original wishy-washy "Ocean Frosted" brand name in favor of "Wakefield's" Alaska King Crab Meat. The change worked...
...elaborated in detail as U.S. and South Vietnamese officials met on Nimitz Hill, the U.S. naval headquarters overlooking the Philippine Sea. Also in clear view from the spacious verandas on the Hill was a tangible reminder of the larger stakes-and risks-in the Viet Nam war: the Soviet trawler Gidrofon, laden with electronic snooping gear, lying just beyond the three-mile limit in order to monitor U.S. B-52 flights to Viet Nam and track the six Polaris subs based at Guam...
Western intelligence sources last week dismissed the Deane theory as "naive" and insisted that Blake's escape from Wormwood Scrubs was a Soviet-planned breakout, abetted perhaps by London "scarperers" (specialists in prison escapes). Blake, they guessed, was already en route to Moscow-perhaps in a Russian trawler. Even Author John le Carré, whose own character Alec Leamas would have ultimately been more cynical, found the triple-agent theory "romantic nonsense...
...crisp black Cyrillic letters of its name. U.S. helicopters hovered overhead, watching the Russians watching them, and a Navy resupply ship circled near by while its band serenaded the Gidrofon with strident capitalist rock 'n' roll. No sooner had the Gidrofon left than a new trawler appeared on Yankee Station: the Ampermetr. The Conserver was also relieved; Hilder and his crew set off for some well-deserved R and R in Hong Kong, and a fresh set of skunk chasers took over the watch...
