Havighurst, Walter "Kootenai Passage"

Adventure tag line: “Three weeks ago young Matt Grierson had been proud of the new third mate’s ticket in his pocket. Then came the night off Kootenai Point when a towing hawser parted and a million feet of lumber vanished in the tide rip – along with the ticket. It was quite a salvage operation to fish it up again and turn the blurred ink back to blue.” Havighurst’s rather slight plot revolves around Alaska-Seattle wartime lumber transport and features an attempted (and initially successful) sabotage of shipboard timber cargoes by a disgruntled cook in the employ of Nazi agents.
