I think of those poor unfortunates
who were denied passage on the
Valdez, they are waiting to hear
something from Nome, whether or
not a-n opportunity will be afforded
to ride down. The journey over
land i« not an easy one at this time
of the year; they are almost willing
to risk their lives on the mailboat
and are anxiously waiting to hear
if she will make another trip north
this season., .
