be sent. By some peculiar intervent- ion of providence only one white death occurred in the district west of Nome. The same fearful havoc was wrought tween Nome and Chinik, entire native villages being practically wiped out. Owing to the prompt action of Acting Superintendent Dyfed Evans of the Bureau of Education in sending out warnings where telephone commun!- cations existed, quarantines were es- tablished along the eastern coast in time to prevent the disease spreading beyond Chinik. Most of the residents of that settlement were taken down and two whites perished. in addition to considerable humber of natives.
 As soon as the Nome situation had inn
 proved to, the degree that help could be secured, the Bureau of Education also sent out relief parties to Wales and Mary's Igloo. The party arriv- ing at Wales found a most appalling situation. Over half of the popuat- ion were dead and lying unburied and most of the remainder were prostrate. The establishment of Il strict quarar- tine immediately prevented the disease spreading farther into the interior and saved large part of the native fop- uation. The quarantine established at Council and other settlements pre- vented the disease gaining Il foothold. and Council. Dime Creek, Shismaref. Candle, Kotzebue, Deering and other points along the northern coast escap- ed entirely. In the meantime. the dis
 ease had also appeared at St. Michael being brought there presumably on the last boats in the fall. A few white deaths occurred in that section and approximately 150 natives perished in the district between St. Michael and Hooper Bay. Unalakleet was spared q visitation through the prompt es
 tablishment of Il strict quarantine.
 The value of quarantine methods was demonstrated in most effective man.

The plague fell on the community in full ing day dozen or more were pros- trated and by November 3rd. the nun Der afflicted had reached into the hun dreds. Arrangements were made in the meantime for the opening of Holy Cross Hospital and the institution was immediately filled to it's capacity with lvictims, The epidemic continued to pro- gross in spite of all that could be done and the two weeks following the depart ure of the last boat saw fully seven eights of the entire population stricken down.
 Deaths occurred among the white pop ulation at an average rate of one Il day up to November 2Sth. The pat i've population was equally afflicted and succumbed to the ravages of the disease with amazing rapidity. Deaths developed among the native element in tens and twentes daily The disease also reached the outlying districts presumably through travellers, and
 practically every settlement along the coast between Shismareff and White
 Mountain Was speedily involved.

 In response to requests for a resume of the influenza situation at Nome last winter. the following brief summary is published The revival of sorrowfuI information of this character is not pleasant and can be cOhdoned only on the score of demand by those who are not informed of the true facts concern ing the dreadful visitation which de prived Nome of such large portion of its population. Withal, the writer approaches the task with reluctance ? and with profound regrets and sym pathy for those whose sorrows may be revived thereby.
 The epidemic made ifs first definite appearance day or two before the departure of the Victoria on tine last trip of the season of 1918. Presum- ably owing to the fact that Nome was then encountering it's fall round of the grippe. the few eases developing dur Ing tnlS peTlOO dttracteu SlSnt HtleIlt' ion. Nearly. everyone had q ''cold" at that time. hence the development of the fell scourage which was to lay practically the entire community pro- str;,fe was scarcely noticed until the infection had spread beyond possibili- ty of control. The lack of knowledge concerning the disease was also an important factor in permitting it to gain a foothold in the community.
 When the Victoria departed on Oc- tober 2Sth there were no more than two or three cases of severe sickness. Among them was that of Health Off, cer Dr. Neuman, who was laid pros trate with pneumonia resulting f:on exposure while attending to his luties. The illness of Dr. Neuman left bu. one practicfng physician. Dr. BursoI'. of Ft Davis. to care for the several persons taken down q day or two later. There was ais6 a dearth cf trained nurses, owing to the closing of Holy Cross Hospital during the pre- ceding summer.

Both the Victoria and Senator en-
 tering Bering Sea sunday and st he time this article is written are hung up few hours journey from Nome. Reports from the Senator at 1:So q. m. yester- day announced that the steamer had
 encountered ice and dense fog at T distance of abou, 14o miles south of
 Nome. Reports from the Victoria at the same hour gave the steamers loc- ton as being 225 miles from Nome.
 No ice had been encountered up that
 time. Reports from the Senator at 2 p. m. yesterday afternoon said the fog
 was lifting at that time but the off, cers were uncertain whethers the steamer could come on to Nome or not,
 owing to the density of the ice. At 5
 D. m. the Senator was making no pro- gress. Nothing further had been heard from the Victoria at that time. Radio messages reaching Nome at $50 this morning disclosed that the Sem ator was still in the same prcdicament. the message stating that the vessel was about five miles closer to Nome than she Was yesterday. having been delayed by very heavy fog and ice.
 The engines were reported shut down and idle. The Victoria reported at the same hour that she was making for
 Nome full speed and had no ice
 ahead. Messages reaching Nome from the Vie. at 10 q: m. were of an entirely different tone. however, as they reported that the steamer had been stopped hY dense fog and ice. The vessel failed to give her, location but it is surmised that she was about sixty miles south at that hour
