HAZARDOUS TRIP ON BERINC SEA TOLD BY HARVEY
 SULLIVAN VALDEZ

Editors Note-The following story is reprinted from the Val dez Miner where MT. Sullivan now resides, and is an authentic description of this famed early day story of ar incident which happened at Nome. it was first printed in the Nome Nugget in 1905 and has since been repub- lished in the Pathfinder and mum erous other publications Due to the fact that the fire of 1884 Wip- ed out the treasured files of the Nome Nugget, we are republish- ing this important bit of history, which no doubt many old timers, as well as the editor of the Mug get will recall the hair-raising excitement of those days, and it will be well for those of the younger generation to clip this article out and keep it for pos terity, as this is probably the last time it will ever be published.
 Many oldtimers who were Tn and around Nome in the spring of 1905 will remember the Capt. Storey party that were blown out to sea on a launch and lost for several days.
 We are printing a few extracts from a letter written by Harvey P. Sullivan, formerly of Nome but now a resident of Valdez, to his brother George H. Sullivan about the trip. Harvey Sullivan was a passenger on the boat and among othea things he wrote was uhi5 that fellows:
 First and foremost l came up to Nome in February. and bought an interest in lease on Dry Creek. You know N.P.R. Hatch? Well, it was on his ground and l worked there until the latter part of April and then quit.
 Spring had started in early; the water was running on the hillsides: the ice had broken a way from the shore in Boring Sea. and we had already started to look for boats from the Out side. We were ready to welcome the coming summer. l wanted to get back to Bluff. and that is 60 miles away. and start ground sluicing on Ryan creek. The trails were pretty well broken up, but the ice in the rivers was still intact. Water was flowing on top of the ice some two or three feet deep and it was mean to travel. AS l said, the ice had left Bering Sea and the North ! Coast Lighterage Company fixed up a kerosene launch named the North Coast, with the intention of carrying passengers & freight up and down the coast. They advertised the boat would leave May 26 for Solomon and Bluff.
 I thought this better chance to go to Bluff than on the trall, so I secured passage. It was a warm, fine day and not a ripple on the water. Joe came down to see me off, and as l was gett- ing into the dory to go out 10 the launch. he threw his overcoat which he was carrying on ms arm into the dory. He said
 "You can never tell, 1t may come in handy, and if it doesn't it will do no harm, anyway"
The Nome daily nugget., 1936-05-23

T will always be glad that I
 took that coat. Joe did not want
 me to go It did not look good for Sme reason, but 1 assured him that everything would be all
 right and we would be in Bluff in eight or ten hours. Then I remarked that if anything did happen we had plenty of provi
 sions aboard. 1 thought we had, but I was mistaken as l found
 out later.
 We started the engine and all went pretty well until we ar
 rived off of Hastings creek, ten
 miles from Nome. Anyone that
 has had any experience with a
 gasoline or kerosene engine will
 know that they are pretty con-
 trary when they take notion to be Like an Irish pig, you can't drive nor lead them. We would get started, run a minute or two, and then stop. In this way we worked our way around Cape Nome. About II pm. we anchored. It was getting fairly dark by this time. and the wind was blowing a pretty stiff breeze offshore. About 1:30 pm. we got started again, and for the next five or six miles we were break ing down continually.
 Tt was getting cold-so cold that it was disagreeable, and we were drifting out to sea But we kept on thinking that the next time the engine started it would take us out of danger. The engi- neer would loosen up a bolt and tighten up a screw and then turn the fyWheel to be rewarded with a puff or two, or few re- volutions of the wheel; but more often no results at all. Of cour- SC I was only a passenger, but I was called on to crank the fly wheel and do other things; and. of course, I did as l was told. What I don't know about mach inery would make a large book.
 All day we worked and all l day we go farther and farther from shore l wanted to quit then and go ashore in the dory that we had in tow. The captain and the engineer refused to listen to me; they seeming to think the boat would get going and keep going. Geore Greenwood, the oth . CT passenger, would take the dory and go ashore fearing that something would happen and we would always be very sorry. So we stayed and kept plugging aw- ay.
 We had no accommodations that is, no cabin, no stove, no place to sleep or lie down It was an open launch. Finally the engineer said that the engine was dead-and it had died a hard death, too. We arranged tar paulin around the engine and craWled under it. Then with two gasoline torches that had been used to heat the bulb of the engine, we tried to keep warm. The engine was suppos- ed to burn kerosene. We would play the flame of the torches ag- ainst the side of the engine and try to keep warm enuf so that

FIGHT RENEWED
AGAINST LIQUOR
BY CHURCHMEN

COLUMBUS, O., May 2. U.P) -
The Methodist Episcopal church to-
day was pledged to a relentless
fight against the liquor traffic and
for the preservation of world peace,
in the Episcopal address of the
board of bishops to the quadren-
nial general conference of the
church here.
Bishop Edwin Holt Hughes of
Washington, DC, senior active
bishop of the church, read the adj
dress as a joint message of the
church's 30 active bishops.
we now proclaim to our coun-
try and to the world the intent of
the Methodist Episcopal church to
continue a relentless fight against
the beverage liquor trade" Bishop
Hughes said. The liquor traffic is
inherently immoral. Legalizing it
did not change its character.

Efficiency of NeW
Refrigerator Laid
To Heat Absorption

We commonly think of ice as haV-
ing temperature Of 80 degrees
Fahrenheit. II can't be warmer
than that and remain ice, but like
every other material thing, ice can
be any number of degrees colder
than the freezing point.
One of the most amazing things
about water is its capacity for latent
heat. This is the heat required to
change it from solid to the liquid
state, or from the liquid to the gas
eous state. In both changes an i'm
mense amount of heat is absorbed
without sensible increase in tenn
perature. This can be illustrated
but putting a lump of ice in a pan
over the fire. AS the ice meltS, the
water remains at a temperature on
" slightly above 80 degrees. 1t
takes long time for the ice to dis
appear, and the water does not start
to get warm until the ice has en-
tirely melted. During this period
80 times as much heat has been alb"
sorbed as is required to raise the
temperature of the ice water from
80 to SO degrees.
This tremendous capacity of ice
for absorbing heat as it melts is
what makes modern ice refriger
ator SO highly efficient and econ
cmical. You not only get the ben
eft of the heat absorbing power Of
melting nice, but also the extra cold
of ice at a temperature much below
the freezing point. This cold ice
absorbs heat normally until the en-
tire lump reaches the melting point,
when the temperature ceases to in
crease and the melting begins. 1t
is then that the heat absorption
continues steadily until the ice dis
appears entirely. This maintains
the constant low temperature and
the moist air for which ice refrig-
orators are noted.
New air-conditioned ice refriger-
ators circulate the moist air which
prevents meats, fruits and vegeta-
bles from shrinking and drying out.
The property of moist air as a de
odorizer is also an important ad-
vantage of modern ice refrigera-
tors.
