 The trip from Nome started Sat

 Mile after mile. in places. it
 was necessary to travel on the ice which was flooded with water. many times being up to the level of the seat in the big sled, which. besides the passengers, carried over two hundred pounds of bag gage.
 On their arrival at the Mission at , o'clock Monday evening. the wind was blowing a gale, and none of the party had had any rest to speak of all the way. After two nights and one days rest. and see iLg Mrs. Bockman and family com fortably settled for the summer. tie two men started on their re- turn.
 It so happened that the wind was backing the water up on the ice as it came down the streams, and Port Clarence Bay was like a sea, as far as the eye could see. The dogs did not take we'll to this kind of travelling. and with their feet already torn, cracked and bleed ing from the outward journey. they were not in any great humor to make speed. Mir. Martin was com pelled to lead the team through | this water for several miles, many times being up to his knees in the | icy water. During this time Mir. ! Bockman took his turn on the | brake and managed to keep we'll soaked also
 At the mouth of many of the | dreams coming down the coast, it | was necessary to make large cir ,les onto the ice to seaward to | keep on the good ice as the water was playing havoc with things close in.
 From Sinrock in to Nome was the best part of the return trip. but the dogs were so stiff and foot sore that the entire fifteen could only pull the sled at speed of hree miles an hour.
