NOrthwind Here With Ice-FOuled Steering Gear

WAoIllAN1 lO4S unI - 1lle NOdSL Guard said today the icebreaker Northwind, returning from an oceanographic voyage along the north coast of Russian Siberia, has suffered extensive damage to it's steering gear from Arctic ice.
 The Northwind reported heavy ice had reduced its steering capa- bility by more than 50 per cent, in addition to previous damage sustained by the vessel during it's probe near Siberia.
 The Coast Guard said the North wind had been some 500 miles west northwest of Point Barrow, in the Arctic Ocean between Siberia and Wrangell Island, north of Si- beria.
 The vessel said it's crew could not make repairs on the steering gear, the Coast Guard said, and the Northwind was using its twin screws to augment the steering gear.
 The Northwind, for the second summer in a row, has made an oceanographic patrol along the north coast of Siberia The Coast Guard said the icebreaker kept within sight of land, but outside Siberian territorial waters. It has been on patrol since July Early this month, the Coast Guard said the Northwind had even then been breaking through four feet of ice with humps rang ing up to 10 feet and had expert enced some damage to her bow but not enough to cut short her mission. The ship was due back at Point Barrow in October and at her home base of Seattle in Mo- vember.
 The icebreaker, which had been skirting Russian waters on its oceanographic mission, actually was in Russian service during World War II under the Lend Lease program. It was returned to the Coast Guard in 1948.
 In Seattle, headquarters of the 18th Coast Guard District said the vessel is due in Nome today. It said the ship is not taking water, and is in no danger. Whether it will be possible to make repairs at Nome will be determined later.
 The NorthWind stopped Wednes- day at Cape Lisbourne, on the west coast of Alaska, to debark two University of Washington sci entists, and the ship left Cape Lisbourne late Wednesday night.
