STEAMER FROM NOME.
First of the Fleet Manages to Break
Through the Ice.

Port Townsend. Wash, June 18.-The
steamer Nome City. the first of the
Nome fleet, arrived this evening, direct
from Cape Nome, having sailed for
Puget Sound on June S. The Nome City
managed to find an open channel in the
ice a considerable distance west of the
usual course taken by vessels sailing
Ter that place, and succeeded in reach
ing Within a few miles Of Nome. She
discharged her cargo and passengers
on the ice. Just as everything was
safely taken to the mainland the ice
broke. and the steamer mad a hard
time in working her way back to the
open sea. Before the ice broke. how
ever, ten passengers. six Women and
four men, succeeded in boarding her
The steam schooner Jeanne was the
first vessel to reach Nome this year.
She had landed her freight and passen-
gers before the Nome City arrived and
started on her return voyage three DAYS
ahead of the Nome City, but has not
arrived
The captain of the Nome City says
IL was a streak of good luck that his
vessel and the Jeanne got in when they
aid, and expressed the opinion that no
other vessel viii reach Nome before
the latter part of this month. as the
ice had broken in many places, and
was rapidly closing in the open channel.
He had harder work getting out than
he had getting in. and his vessel bears
evidence Of this fact, as her sides are
scraped and sllvered from contact with
the ice.
Passengers report that Nome. during
the winter was Well provided with pro-
visions; there was but little sickness.
and the weather was good, With the
exception of one Or two severe storms
