Cupt. J. H. Mustard, genial "Dr.*'
Mustard of tlu* old days In Nome, re
turned for a visit to the old town on
the first fleet after an extended period
of service with the army from which
he is not yet released.
(’apt. Mustard is on furlougn and
decided to visit -Nome before re
turning to his duties. As will be re
called. he volunteered his professional
services shorty after America entered
the war and departed from Nome dur
ing the summer of 1917. During most
of the intervening period he has been
stationed at Camp Fremont.
Since his arrival Saturday evening the
returned pilgrim has been kept decUle
Iv busy shaking hands and returning
the greetings of Ids numerous friends.
Lerov Wells, bronzed and hardened
by months of service with the Ameri
can aviation forces on the war front,
is back in Nome with the badge of
service on his arm and a fund of war
stories disclosing in graphic manner
the deeds of war and the trials and
dangers of the soldier and airmen.
Wells was with the Americans during
some of rhe most intense fighting of
the war. lie enlisted in the air ser
vice early after the American entry.
He was sent to one of the aviation
camps and learned the business of fly
ing. letter he was sent overseas with
one of the flying squadrons.
After nearly a week of delay due to
ice and fog, the steamer’s Senator and
Victoria finally reached the roadstead
Saturday evening, much to the grati
fication of those on hoard as well as
to the citizens of Nome, most of whom
were longingly awaiting the arrival of
the fresh and much needed supplies
carried by the two vessels.
The Senator was the first to reach
the anchorage, arriving {.round 8:30 p.
m. The Victoria arrived in the road
stead about an hour later. The two
steamers brought full passenger lists,
the Senator having 218 aboard and the
Victoria 425. of which 312 were for
Nome. Both vessels also carried full
freight cargoes for this and other Ber
ing ports.
The two steamers fought their way
slowly through the ice. Friday night
and Saturday, the Senator making
the greater progress. Late Saturday
evening the Senator wirelessed that
the fog hud cleared soirvowhat and the
vessel was making good headway an*1
with little signs of ice. The Victoria
reached a point about fifty miles from
Nome during the preceding day and
was able to make but little progress
until about ihe same time.
The arrival of the two steamers in
the offing was witnessed by the usual
crowd and the landing of the passeng
ers provoked the usual round of hil
arious greetings. Following is the
list of Nome passengers.
It is understood that representatives
of two outside mining corporations ar
rived on the first fleet to investigate
mining properties in this section. It
is said that one of the concerns repre
sented is the Yuba dredge company and
the other the Treadwell company. The
former Is said to be considering a pos
sible deal with the Alaska Mines Com
pany and the latter Is interested in
the silver mine located neo$ Council
City, known as the Omalik mine.
City Health Officer Dr. Daniel S.
Neuman has decided to leave for the
Outside on the return trip of the
steamer Victoria. Dr. Neuman has
not been in the best of health since liis
recovery from a severe attack of
pneumonia shortly after the close of
navigation last fall and has decided
that a visit to less severe climes will
be beneficial. His practice will be
taken over Dr. C. Welch, formerly of
handle. Dr. Neuman's departure will
be a matter for deep regret on the
part of the many friends he has gained
during his long residence, especialily
as It is improbable that he will return.
The incoming steamers brought the
usual big hatch of Spring mail and the
postofilce force was kept busy yester
day at the work of distribution. Owing
to the fact that the government is
now shipping the mails as freight, the
consignments did not arrive at the
postofficc as soon after the steamers
anchored as in former years. This
produced a delay in distribution which
was little appreciated by the citizens
who have to depend on the mails for
the conduct of much important bus
iness. It Is understood that under the
present system of transportation, the
mails have no preference over any
other form of freight and is classed by
the companies as simply "cargo.”,
The arrival of the Senator disclosed
that the recent report from that vessel
to the effect that one of the passeng
ers attempted suicide shortly after the
steamer entered Bering Sea was un
fortunately true. The passenger in
question is- u well known old timer of
the district named Claes Rodine. Ac
cording to fellow' passengers. Rodino
apparently became mentally unbalanc
ed daring the voyage and after the
Senator had reached the ice pack at
tempted to cut his throat and wrists.
The knife with which he attempted
the ghastly deed was dull and he was
stopped before he could inflict a fatal
wound. A short time later he at
tempted to complete the job of mur
dering himself by jumping down an
opening into the ship's hold.
In doing so he shattered the bones
of one arm by striking an iron
brace and also received other Injuries
from which he died atfer lingering for
