Jag. P. Daly, Nome agent for the
Alaska S. S. Co., that the S. S.
Victoria ot the Alaska Line now
euroute to Nome on her first Arc
tic Cruise, was due to arrive here
noon Sunday. This was in, differ
ence with the first report that the
vessel would arrive Sunday mid
night. However, this later inform
ation stands up to the time of
going to press, and the vessel is
expected to anchor in the road
stead here about noon tomorrow.
The arrival of the Victoria a*
Nome on Sunday was thought at
first would bring about a change
in the Arctic Cruise Entertainment
planned for the visitors now aboard
the vessel. Mr, Daly, the aueri
wired Captain Odsen particulars
and received an answer this at
ernoon, whicfiP will permit the
staging of the entertainment, be
ginning Monday morning lasting
'* until midnight Monday, when Che
vessel will sail fdr St. Michael.
The various features of the pr.i
gram of interest will take place
as planned beginning Monday
morning with tours of the dredges
inspection of Eskimo works at the
Government School, the witness-1
|lrg of Eskimo athletics at King
I Island village and then in tJib

reception and entertainment of
| the newcomers.
The Arctic Cruise it is hoped
will prove of intense interest td
‘lie people from the States, and
there are many places where they
4will be given the opportunity of
going ashore and inspecting the*
surroundings .of typical Alaskan
towns. The Cruise itself up into
the * Arctic Ocean, and into the
Arctic ice-pack should be quite an
excitement in itself. Another fen- ■
turg will be the stop made at East j
Cape, Siberia in the Ui S. S. K. All
in all, the trip is well designed ■
forf the full entertainment of the
members of the Arctic Cruise. It
is sincerely hoped by Nome, that
they may come again next yea.’
and that Cruise will be even more
exciting and interesting as each
additional year brings forward
more places of call, and more
colorful interesting sights to see.
