Ira Rank of the |. $. Merchantile Co. Mir Rank reports that he has received word from Bernard indicating that the latter has no intention of attempting to reach the Atlantic. Bernard was at Baflly Island. opposite the mouth of the Mackenzie River last summer on his way back to Nome. The venture some Nomeite had finished his trad ing tour along the Arctic shores and would probably have arrived here last fall had his vessel not been caught in the ice.
