Unknown operating position. 230  This photo labeled as "Triangle Island in 1915" in Larry Reid's 'The Story of the West Coast Radio Service' page 31 but I have my doubts.  It is taken from 229, which has one photo labeled as 'Cape Lazo', a second labeled 'Digby Island', a third is obviously Kye Bay (Cape Lazo) and the fourth is this photo.  I think if it was not associated with Cape Lazo, Bowerman would have labeled it otherwise.
