Her 13-man| crew was divided on whether to abandon ship. Seven men de- cided to leave. Four were drowned when the lifeboat failed to lower into the water properly. The other three died of exposure.

The police suggested food be put out at the bottom of the tree. The dog pound couldn't help. A Hydro official told Katrina '"twe can't do anything." | He told The Times this morn- ing the situation was impos- sible. The pole carries three 44,000 volt lines, supplying power for the south end of the city. "The only safe way to get up there,' said Mr. Annand, "would be to shut the power off.
