CLEANING UP – Jordan Tanguay, Sitka National Historical Park biologist, right, uses a bilge pump to remove oily water from a stream flowing into Indian River this morning, as Jared Hazel, park maintenance worker, carries out buckets. Tanguay discovered the fuel leak this morning as she walked through the park. She spent the morning helping do mitigation work. The leaked fuel was traced to a 500-gallon tank on private land.

Search Under Way For Passenger Off Cruise Ship in SE
By Sentinel Staff
Alaska State Troopers and the U.S. Coast Guard were searching in Lynn Canal today for a 25-year-old cruise ship passenger who reportedly “fell into the ocean” Wednesday night or this morning, the Coast Guard said.
The woman was reported missing from the Norwegian Pearl at 5:30 a.m. today when someone noticed that she was not in her stateroom. Security video footage showed she had gone overboard while the vessel was under way, the Coast Guard said.
Coast Guard Air Station Sitka launched a search helicopter at 6:30 a.m. today. No signs of the missing passenger were reported by press time today, said Petty Officer Jon-Paul Rios, Coast Guard spokesman in Juneau.
Along with the Alaska State Troopers, the Juneau-based 45-foot Coast Guard Cutter Liberty and also was taking part in the search today.
The Norwegian Pearl was on an eight-day round cruise from Seattle to Glacier Bay, Sept. 4-11, with stops in Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan and Victoria, B.C.
