Northwind Repairs Ice Wounds
 Between Missions

The U. s. Coast Guard Cutter Northwind, commanded by Cap tain Joseph F. Martin, arrived at Nome on 20 September for two days of rest and recreation for her IT officers and l9O men. The North wind, which is 269 foot long ice breaker, has just completed sev- en week and 8,000-mile long oceanographic survey of the Chuk- chi, East Siberian and Laptev Seas north of Siberia. The Northwind is the first American vessel known to have traversed these Arctic waters.
 The purpose of the survey was to obtain salinity, temperatures and chemical composition of the water and bottom samples to determine the influence on the Arctic water of the large Siberian rivers which empty in the East Siberian and Laptev Seas. The majority of the area traverSed was covered with heavy ice and as a result North wind suffered damage to her bow and rudder tiller. However, tenn porary repairs will be effected at Port Clarence this week to permit the NorthWind to participate with the Navy icebreaker Staten Is- land in a seismic survey of the Chukchi Sea off Barrow, which is scheduled for October. Upon con- pletion of the seismic survey North wind will return to her home port in Seattle, Washington, arriving in early November.
 During the months of June and July Northwind visited l5 native villages along the Aleutian chain and in the Boring Sea, to provide medical and dental care as part of the annual Boring Sea Patrol
 NorthWind carries two helicOp- terS which are used for recon naissance and transportation of personnel and equipment. The hel- icopters are housed in a retractable aluminium hangar which was in stalled during Northwind's latest shipyard availability. The pilots and crew members are stationed at co Air-Detachment, Kodiak.
