Flight Over Sea
 Reveals Ice Pack
 Much Evidence

Pilot John Cross with the pon- toon plane of the Wien Alaska Airlines, with U. s. Coast Guard observers from Nome, made hop yesterday evening out over Ser ing Sea to investigate ice condi- tions, and get picture of the situation for possible relay to the steamer Victoria, which might expedite her arrival here.
 The plane flew out between fiji teen and twenty miles, and was gone for about half an hour or more.
 Reports of the conditions said much ice was in evidence, but that the path followed by the Cutter Northland in coming into Nome from Dutch Harbor, was still comparatively free.
 However the area to the east ward is clogged with moving ice from the Yukon River and Nor ton Sound, and apparently it will be some time before that section opens up.
 The westward drift or current this afternoon removed a great deal of the shore ice in front of town, carrying it seaWard rapid ly, where it continues to float around.
