VICTORIA EXPEC TED TO LEAVE

Reports from the steamship Vic

vessel would be ready to leave on her
return trip from St Michael about
Noon today. A stop will be made
at Golovin enroute to load a quantity
of reindeer meat and the season’s
herring pack. The liner is expected,
here about .Monday and departure for
the states will probably take place
Tuesday evening.
| The failure of the Victoria to re

j rough weather along the St Michael

full list of passengers on the outgo

past two weeks having caused a gen

aside from dredging, with the result
that the bulk of the summer min

Vl< ARRIVES AFTER
T EM PESTOlT S I 'ASS AG K
Concluding probably the stormiest
trip the vessel has ever encountered
on the Nome-Seattle run, the Alaska
Steamship Company liner Victoria
dropped anchor in the roadstead
Sunday morning, over two weeks out
of Seattle and seven days behind her
schedule. According to those on
board the big steamer, the vessel
was beset with storms almost con
tinuously all the way from Seattle.
Northerly winds at times rising to
violent gales beset the Victoria
across the North Pacific and over
the greater part of her route over
Bering Sea. Some eight hundred
miles out of Seattle, the liner was
caught in a storm of such violence
that she was compelled to lie to for
a period of three days. On arriving
off Unimak Pass, the steamer was
again forced to suspend progress.
Not until within one day's journey
bf Nome did the vessel find herself
in smooth water. The wind during
throughout the passage continued
varying violence from a general
northerly direction. lashing the
waves into gigantic billows which at
times forced the passengers to avoid
the decks for fear of being swept
overboard. Cap*. Davis informed
several passengers that the storm
which followed the vessel was one of
the most violent and long continued
he has encountered in his long sea
career.
The steamer brought a capacity
cargo of freight for Nome and St
Michael, the Outside mails and a lint
of thirty five passengers, including
M. W. Griffith, newly appointed
United States Marshal for the Sec
ond Division and Mrs. Griffith. The
new official was greeted at the dock
on arrival by one of the largest,
crowds gathered there in a long per
iod to witness a steamship landing.
The new marshal was given a wel
come by his fellow citizens, which
well indicated the benial popularity
of his appointment.
After remaining here until Mon
day evening, the Victoria proceeded
to St Michael where the vessel has
had considerable difficulty in unload
ing due to the continued stormy
weather at that port. It ise xpected
she will finish unloading tonight and
return to Golovin Sunday where she
will unload about 50 tons of merch
andise and take on about 100 barrels
of fish. The vessel will then return
to Nome about Sunday night (if not
delayed by storm) and sail for Seat
tle about Tuesday.

Seattle. Aug. 23—When the
Amundsen exploration ship Maud
sails from Seattle next May to re
sume the expedition's daring at
tempt to drift to the North Pole with
the Arctic pack, she will be stocked
with enough food to last nearly seven
years, it was learned today. Between
$25,000 and $30,000 will he expend
ed In Seattle for the supplies, it is
estimated. Capt. Roald Amundsen,
world-famous as the discoverer of the
South Pole and the conquerer of the
Northwest Passage, who arrived here
from the North July 4. has adopted
,Seattle as his home city until he
sails for the Arctic in May.
Personal comfort and nearly every
thing else on the Maud will be sacri
ficed to providing space for food and
still more food, and other essential
supplies. When asked why he would
load down the Maud with food sup
plies, Captain Amundsen paraphased
the old military dictum. He said:
"Explorers travel on their stomachs."
"When you get to 85 degrees
north,” he said, "you find animal
life in the polar spaces very scarce.
It is the case of taking your food
along or starve and we are going to
run no risk of starving. I doubt
whether I would set out on such a i
expeditin unless I had enough pro
visions for five years and it is safer
to have provisions for nearly seven
"On the Fram expedition we drift
ed across the polar basin, studying
all conditions for three years and we
found that at 85 and beyond, the
Arctic is absolutely desolate. As an
example, a stray bear appeared in the
vicinity of the Fram. We shot It
and the only thing we found in its
stomach was an old newspaper. It
had eaten the newspaper because it
I could get nothing else to eat. The
bear was one of the very few that we
saw after reaching 85.
“We are taking no chances of
[ landing in the same plight as the
bear that bad to dine on a newspa
per. When you attempt to cross
the polar s©a. you must be prepared
in every detail, and one of the great
est details is food. Months will be
vpent in provisioning and outfitting
the Maud in Seattle, the work being
done without the least attempt at
haste, so that there will be no danger
of our overlooking anything. We will
be stocked to the guards with food
when we leave Seattle and we will
1 have four or five extra propeller
wheels for the Maud*. ”
The work of outfitting the Maud
will be handled by H. H. Hammer,
president of the Universal Shipping
& Trading Company, acting as gen
eral agent for the famous explorer.
Civic and scientific bodies in San
Francisco and other American ports
are swamping Amundsen with invi
tations to 'gatherings in his honor.
In a day or two he will visit Van
couver, accompanied by Mr. Ham
mer, and at the end of September
or the beginning ef October, he will
visit San Francisco.
