press this afternoon, the Coast
Guard I'nUer Northland and the ’
Steamer Arthur J. Baldwin of the
Arctic Transport Co., are about
Ion miles from Nome and delayed
by heavy solid ice floes extending
cast and west without leads. It Is .
hoped phut the reports of a storm
coming- up from the Japanese
coast will break up the ice pack
and thus allow the steamers to
go; thru to the open stretches o.f
water ot) this coast.
The steamer Victotria of tho
Alaska Line, was -off Nunivak Is
land at x a.m. this morning, and
according to her speed should now
be off Cape Rnmanzoff or close to
the o tier two vessels, which we be
liec are still in the other side
of tile h’e pack.
No word was received of; the
freighter Derblav as to her pos
ition. but it is believed she is now
in Bering Sea.
AU - t hree or four vessels-- will —
probably arrive at Nome aboiiX tho
same time, and that will not be
until a lead opens up in the Ico
pack to allow the vessels to get
