WOMAN AND 21 MEN
CAUGHT IN ICE, COAST
Marooned in the Arctic ice pack
near Wainwright with a crew of
21 hardy seafaring men and a
lone woman aboard, the MS Pat
terson of the Northern Whaling
& Trading Company may not be
able to reach Herschell Island
where a million dollars worth of
furs await her.
The woman aboard the little
Arctic trader is Mrs. C. T. Peder
sen, wife of the master of the
vessel, who accompanies him on
all his voyages. She is a trained
i nurse and gives medical aid to
the crew and natives who come to
trade with the ship.
They Have Company'
The Patterson has plenty of
company in the ice, for not far
distant are the sailing schooner
C. S. Holmes and the Coast Guard
cutter Northland from Seattle and
the Canadian steamship Bay
chimo from Vancouver, B. C.
Bound for Herschell Island, far
to the eastward in the Arctic, the
Patterson sailed from San Fran
cisco May 28. The vessel formerly
was a unit of the United States
Coast and Geodetic Survey, plying
out of Seattle. She was sold to
the Northern Whaling & Trading
Company by the Tood Dry Docks,
| Inc., and delivery was made in
Seattle.
I Veteran of Arctic
Captain Pederson has been mak
ing trips to the Arctic since 1894.
(He came to this coast as a young
.man from Norway on a whaling
| steamship and immediately head
ed for the Far North. In 1897
he was frozen in for the entire
I winter. He was master of the
whaling steamship Karluk when
she sailed from San Francisco in
1913 with an expedition headed by
Hilhjalmar Stefansson and fitted
out by the Canadian government
for exploration in the Arctic re
gions.
One of Captain Pederson’s most
prized keepsakes is a watch crust
ed on the back with gold nug
gets given him by Explorer Roald
Amundsen in the Arctic in July
1927.
The Patterson left San Francisco
| with 16.000 gallons of gasoline
| and a supply, of eggs, flour, fresh
j apples and oranges, potatoes, su
:gar and dry goods, with which to
j barter with the natives for white
! and crossed fox, silver foT, lynx,
j marten and muskrat pelts.

Since the canneries have not beer,
buying any fish lately and do not
expect to, local fisherman have been
catching the silver salmon for their
own use. The run of silvers this
year was made up of large, firm,
salmon, better than those of last
year. Some of the local fishermen
I have even resorted to trading fish
for flour and sugar.
