S. To Alaskan Wilds guration of the boy scout movement in the United States and marks the start of Boy Scout Week. Dawn broke clear and a couple of hours put us 325 miles into Nome coming in at Norton Bay and followâ€" ing the coast of Norton Sound. We had only been in our room at the hotel a few minutes when a knock on the door brought a reporter from Nome‘s triâ€"weekly newspaper for an interview. He sure gave us quite a writeup which announced our arâ€" rival in town. The people in Nome and all over the coast turned themâ€" selves inside out to see that we had a good time and see to everything we wanted. They were glad to see Following is a continuation of the round robin letters sent to friends by Mr. and Mrs. Robert W. Patton, on their 25,000 mile trailer trip to Alaska. Two days I spent out watching the native seal hunters. Open water is about 2 miles from shore, which you reach after a half hour walk over the sea ice. Just watch your step as there are spots a little thinâ€" ner than the rest and a salt water bath is not to be relished in zero weather. I might have needed a bath, but am glad to say I reserved my abolutions for the community tub in the hotel. The last night in town I joined a crowd of young natives who were charivariâ€"ing a newly married We were invited up to the meeting of the Nome Camera club where we saw some marvellous movies of the natives taken at Hooper Bay and St. Lawrence Island. Sue met a Mrs. Waldhelm there who invited her over for lunch next day to see her ivory collection and pictures. The natives do beautiful ivory caryâ€" ing particularly those on St. Lawâ€" rence Island. The last night in town I joined a crowd of young natives who were charivariâ€"ing a newly married couple. They circled the cabin, pounded on the door, tapped on the windows and generally congratulâ€" ated the happy pair‘s new status. Finally in desperation the best man appeared with silver in his plam to buy â€" the assembled â€" multitude ies cream. . The din ceased. It is remarkable the part radiv plays in this country. We had comâ€" plete dope on landing and weather conditions all up the coast to Tigara our furtherâ€"most point from home about 200 miles north of the circle, jrtting out into the Arctic Ocean, One extra day each weekâ€"tokeephealthy, young and beautifulâ€" enjoying her favorite To give her this gift, arrange to have US do the weekly wash!

The government‘s buresu in charge of native reindeer does not look with great favor upon curious pilots who scratch the back of the reindeer with the skis of their planes. In fact they get quite nasty about it Our first glimpse of the Arctic Seward Peninsula is tundra, covered with several feet of closely packed snow, so I didn‘t wake up to the faet that we were many miles from land until we were half way across. Flyâ€" ing over the seas this time of year is very safe, a landing field every two feet. If your steed gets "misâ€" ery" you have no trouble in coming to earth, you may have a chilly saunter to relieve and naturally there is little oportunity to warm up as the timber is just a trifle scarce. Kotzebue faces north, on the tip of a long sand spit separating Hothâ€" am Inlet from the sea. It is quite a fur center and all grub has to be lightered 12 miles from the ships that must anchor way out. They tell me with the usual wind blowing it is rather a choppy voyage out to the steamers. Ocean was Katzebue Sound, but all We located a Parki for Sue there, made out of Sic Sic Puc, the Eskiâ€" mos when they speak English say "Heap big squirrel." That night the Roadhouse keeper, Paul Davidâ€" owic, put on a movie for the natives in the lobby of his hotel. The pool table was shoved up against the wall, the Eskimos came young and old sitting in front on the floor with their feet straight in front of them or on chairs to the rear. The lobby was crowded and oh what wonderâ€" ful perfumery they use. All the girls like the same scent. Parfume La Blubber. As Sue remarked most unappreciatively "What a God Awful Smell." The movie was a silent soâ€" cial thriller of a girl on a barge, who had so many hairbreadth exâ€" periences it left you fearing she never would live happily ever after.

Mr. Ripley the school teacher met us and assured us our landing spot was quite safe. The last time he had been out there it was nothing but open water and with a good breeze coming up we might have a long swim in the morning to our plane. We had no choice but pray for another day of calm. Chopping cut a handle in the ice we tied down one wing, the other being securely anchored to a nearby iceberg. A mile trudge over the sea and along the treeless tundra brought us to steaming coffee and the school house. weather to the North so once again we donned wings to fly up the bleak After lunch we started out to see the sights and the natives. We enâ€" joyed seeing real eskimos, the naâ€" tives enjoyed seeing a couple of foo‘ tourists who would fly into the Arcâ€" tic in January for fun. It was a mutual admiration party. A call upon an Eskimo family in their igloo. We climbed up to the top of an old igloo and squeezed down through a skylight to a ladder, then down to a tunnel four feet under ground. Stooping as we floundered along a dark passage, stubbing our tces against dead seal, well solidified by the action of the icy temperatâ€" ures, we came to a seal gut curtain. I dropped to my knees and followed the others into a very comfortable room about 15 feet in diameter. It was lighted by a seal gut skylight and warm as toast. A stove burnâ€" ing seal blubber threw off plenty of heat, as well as an aroma all its own. Sue had a headache all the rest of the day. Shey says they don‘t burn fat in Alabama for heat. Eskimos live in igloos, eat blubber, mansions with blubber, feed their dogs blubber and even use blubber to pacify the babies when they ery, really they are quite blubâ€" ber minded.
