This was followed bf eulogistic re
marks by Ralph Lomen, President
of the Arctic Transport Co. Scrip
ture readings took place and as the
Lord's prayer was said, the ashes of
Captain Baker were distributed over
the side by Captain Burns of the
Baldwin, with Captain Thos. A. Ross
of the Coast Guard dropping flow
ers, on Bering Sea as the Captain’s
ashes floated to the water on which
he had spent so much time as a
mariner.
The U. S. Coast Guard launch cir
cled the steamer in company with
the tug Naguruk of the Nome Har

located on the Arctic shores of Al
aska.
Furs, ivory and other goods were
brought back. They reported that
conditions were not very good as far
as trapping, trading, fishing, etc.,
were concerned, but the people
themselves were in fine health. Gus
Masik, who went north on a pros
pecting trip several years ago, was
a passenger to Nome on the Trader,
enroute to the States for the win
ter. Ice conditions were very fav
orable at the time the Trader went
up and returned, offshore winds
keeping the big Arctic ice pack con
siderable distances out to sea, allow
ing ships to get past Point Barrow
and return.
