| Extent of Arctic Ice Largest
In Memory Says Sail Capt.
SEATTLE, Nov. 18—How the ice
in ’ the Arctic ocean, the worst this
year that white men have ever
known in the waters north of Alas
ka, worked to destroy two gasoline
schooners, the Arctic of San Fran
cisco and the Lady Kindersley of
Vancouver, 13. C., was related by
Captain John Bacldand, master of
the sailing schooner C. S. Holmes,
which is wintering here.
“I have been going into the Arc
tic since 1907,” said Captain Back
land, but never before did I find
the ice so extensive as this year.
The bergs were not so large as
I have seen them, but the pack
was tremendously more extensive.
“The cause of the great fields of
ice along the northern Alaska coast
this summer was the prevailing wes
terly winds. There is the same
quantity of ice in the Arctic each
year, but the winds determine where
I the fields will form. With easterly
or northeasterly winds, it will be
found off the coast of Siberia.”
Captain Backland said the Lady
Kindersley and the Arctic were lost
by following leads through the ice
which closed upon them. Members
of the crew of the Arctic made their
Avay ashore to Point Barrow, Alaska,
over the frozen ocean. The men of
the Lady Kindersley were taken
abroad the steamer Boxer, of the
United States Bureau of Education,
after a hard passage with canoes
and skin boats over and through
three miles of ice. The cargoes of
the Arctic and the Lady Kindersley
were abandoned.
“When 1 go into the Arctic ice,"
recalled the captain, “I always keep
a lookout for a way to get my ves
sel out. I was 80 miles from Point
Barrow while the Lady Kindersley
wras fast in the ice and her men
were trying to get away from her.
I vras forced to go southwest in
the ice, avray from them, to keep
from being caught myself.”
The C. S. Holmes landed her
cargo at Point Barrow before she
hurried for Bering Strait. Ac
cording to reports here, only one
other vessel succeeded in delivering
a cargo at Point Earl-ow, the north
ern end of the tip of Alaska, this
year. She was the whaler Nanuk,
which for a while was believed
lost.
