Nurse Busy At Wainwright
Miss Keaton, U. S. Public
Health Service nurse, was at
Wainwright attending six pneu
monia patients, all of whom were
getting along very well. She made

years in the country and knows
all the ins and outs.
Russian Ice-Breaker at Barrow

sin arrived at Barrow as the
plane party was leaving. The
sailing ship C. S. Holmes was
about 40 miles from Barrow with
a 20 mile wide open lead through
the Arctic ice pack which ex
tended past the village. No
trouble should be experienced in
making' Barrow now except sail
ing against a head wind.

Mr. Burdick reports a few nov
el experiences, such as the plane
icing down on August 23rd, and

Russians Will
Continue To
Extend Search
Information has been received
by the Nome Office of the U. S.
Weather Bureau that Russian of
ficials at Fairbanks propose to
extend the search for the lost
Soviet flyers well into October if
necessary.
All government agencies a!
Fa,rbanks and in Washington.
D. C., are cooperating to the ut
most to aid the search. The air
way forecasters issueing hourly
forecasts and the U. S. Signal
Corps have constant contact with
Pt. Barrow.
Nome weather and aviation of
ficials believe the logical point for
the northern search is Pt. Bar
row because of radio contact of
the U. S. Army System and ac
cessibility.
