The schooner Jewel fSuard. hearing
Joe Felkel the well known fur trader,
returned from a trading trip to St.
l-iwrencc Island early yesterday. The
schooner departed from Nome on May
27 in the wake of the retreating ice
pack, in an effort to reach the island
before the arrival of the laches trad
io. Soon after leaving Nome the
Jewel (Juarcl encountered the ice l»ut
found an open lead and experienced
practically no difficulties In reaching
the island, which lies approximately
125 miles southwest of Nome. The
schooner was three days passing
through the ioo field, which is reported
bv Mr. Felkel to be particularly vast
and heavy this year. After reaching
Northeast Cape, the easternmost ex
tremity of the island, the Jewel Ouarl
sailed 'entirely around the Island in
search of trade. Felkel states that his
hope of beating the Herman to the is
olated island was futile, as the out
side' trailer was on hand when the
Jewel (Juarct arrived. The Herman's
master told Felkel that he had found
the ice conditions unusually severe
this spring. He encountered the pack
some distance north of the Aleutian's
but couhl find no opening by which to
reach St. Lawrence until he had cruis
ed to the vicinity of the Kamchatka
coast. The ice was practically solid
all the way and an unusual number of
large bergs were noticed. After prac
tically crossing lie-ring Sea the Her
man managed to work her yny into
the park and reached the island. Mr.
! Felkel says the Islanders escaped the
[influenza and health conditions rc
imained normal in every way during
jthe winter. After circumnavigating
| ili«' island, the Jewel CJuard returned
to Northeast Cape and skirted along
the lower edge of the ice pack to the
Yukon flats, from whence her course
was directed to St. Michael. Accord
ing to Mr. Felked the ice was very
[dense along the entire distance from
St. Lawrence to a point close to the
| Yukon delta. On arriving at St.
Michael it was found that the bay was
full of broken ice and some difficulty
was encountered in reaching port. On]
the passage from St. Michael to Nome
