the sides. X heavy wind was tossing
 the sea in angry waves at this time and the rolling and tossing finally
 loosened tho lashings of the large dory fixed to the stern. The crew passed another exciting period and became ehoroughly wet from the flashing spray
 before the boat was again made fast to the deck Following along a course hcnding toward St Michael, the tug
 arrived at a point shown by soundings to be about fifteen miles otfshoTe. This was about 9.90 D. m. Again heavy slush was encountered and the
 vessel was able to make but little headway. Signal rockets were sent aloft through the ldackness of the night and Coston lights were burned but there was no response. The tug continued on her course until shortly before twelve P. m, the ice again be- came so thick that Capt Ross again 
 sel was then in he vicinity of stuart l Island though a considerable distance l to the westward. and tho ice was three feet thick From .he soundings taken it was judged that the tug was then about thirty miles off the shore of Pastol Bay At 12.35 a. m. the tug was again headed off by sush ice and l the course was changed to the north | west, away from land. The defective engine again broke down at this point but was soon repairede
 At 1.30 yesterday morning the Gen. evieve was again in clear water many miles from shore. 1t was blowing heavily and snow squalls drove in blmding waves across the chilly sea. At d. m. the vessel, which had been leaking from the start, suddenly com. mehced to take water badly and the crew found themselves confronted by a new danger. As the pumps were fixed to the defective engine it was inn possible to keep the water down by mechanical means and the crew was reduced to desperate straits when the encroaching water finally stopped the other engine. There were but few buckets aboard to bail with so Capt Ross, with ready resourccfulness, or dered that gasoline cans be cmptied into the fuel tank and baling buckets improvised.
 With all hands provided with can, the work of bailing the vessel out was soon accomplished. This done. the ice again engrossed the attention of the crew and some time was spent in chopping away the cumbering masses clinging to the sides. Throughout the remainder of the night, the gallant band continued their efforts to find .he i'll fated White Bear but no reward attending .heir efforts. Dense masses of slush ice were frequently encount- cred and always the crew were com pelled to chop the vessel clear. The engines also continued to give trouble. When morning broke Cape Darby, near the entrance to Golovin Bay, was sighted about twenty five miles off. The course was again changed to the westward and the vessel headed for Nome, for it was recognized that there was not .he slightest prospect of find ing the lost schooner in the midst of the far spreading fields of slush. At noon yesterday the Genevieve was off Solomon. When near Cape Nome The defective engine again bucked and the tug lmped on but slowly. Although free of slush ice the tapping of the waves continued to coa. the tug with layers of ice and the crew was busied at the task of chopping it away. At four o'clock yesterday afternoon the tug was abreast of Cape Nome but more time was lost on the way to Nome through the frequent breakdowns of the port engine. The Genevieve and her gallant crew arrived off Nome at 7:3 30 last night, tired with their long
