1920 SIBERIAN ICE
CONDITIONS WORST
10 TWO DECADES
Ice conditions it Took Die Northern
Silw-rian coast last year were the worst
in twenty years and created a situa
tion of the utmost severity with re
sj**ct to the natives, navigation and
trading, according- to Charles C. Car
pendnle. the widely known Ka.«t Cape
trader. In a letter to the Nugget re
cently delivered through the kindness
of Capt. Ruolri Amundsen. Mr. C'ar
pendnle says the ice was the heaviest
soen along that roast during the 19
years residence and was in evidence
most of the time throughout the entire
summer. The summer season was al
so one of the coldest ever known and
new ice was fonned every night during
the month nf August. Mr. C'arpendale
states that it seemed as if the Arctic
Ocean was doing its best to block
trading. IVdar Hear were killed at
East T'aj'ft in August, something h th
mo unknown and the whole' of that
section of Siberia was left without
trading materials, with the result that
famine was widespread among the na
‘ives^ In srtme instances whole native
families were wiped out by starvation.

er, told me that the nearest he could
get to Whalen, (about SO nriles from
here) was 125 miles away. Ti m was
on August 10th. For almas*, two
weeks this station (Float Cape) was en
tirely cut off from the outside world
and at no time dining the summer was
this part of the coast entirely f. » ■ of

a result of these conditions the whoje
North was left without fating stuff
and the natives sufi'ced severely in
consequence. Some houses were wiped
