STRENUOUS VOYAGE
MRS. WESLEY MATLOCK
WRITES OF ALASKA TRIP.
Twenty-one Days on the Ocean, Eight
Days in Behring Sea, and Steamer
Cut Its Way Through $50 Miles OF
Solid Ice-Rudder Broken Amidst
the Icebergs.

In a letter to relatives in this city,
Mrs. Wesley Matlock, who with her
husband and children is now at SOL
omon, Alaska, tells Of the hazardous
experience which they had in reach
ing the frozen north.
The Matlocks left Seattle June 1
and they were on the ocean for 21
days, reaching Solomon June 21.
Eight days Of the voyage were passed
In Behring sea and the ship passed
through $50 miles of solid ice.
While amidst the icebergs the
steamer broke its rudder and the boat
had to crawl for days between noun
tains of ice on either side. Owing to
the danger of being caught in the floe
the passengers suffered great uneasl-
ness and there was JOY when they
reached port.
Four other boats were also out in
Behring sea at the same time and
when Mrs. Matlock wrote her letter
the Ohio, since reported safe, had not
arrived. At that time plans were be-
ing formed for sending out a relief
party.
Solomon Is on Behring sea and is
40 miles north Of Nome. The Mat
locks have mining property at that
point and on the trip north Wesley
Matlock took a band of mules and a
pony along, the mules to be worked
in the mines. Though the animals
suffered on the trip they soon got in
condition for work and were at work
in the mines when the letter was
written. The pony was likewise en-
jcying life in the Arctic zone.
