Eight Days with Icefloes
and Has Close Call
Nome, July 13—With a liolo Btovo
just above tho water line amidships,
her (500 passengers hungry and re
bellious after forty-eight days at sea
the liner Ohio arrived in port Satur
day night after the hardest and most
dangerous exporienco of any vessel
ever attempting to make the voyage
from Seattle to Nome. Time and
again the Ohio was in sight of safety
only to be forcod to sea again by the
iceflooa which threatend to send her
to the bottom. On soveral occasions
she was entirely surrounded and for
days at a time able to move only as
she drifted about in her prison. At
one time she was within thirty miles
of her destination.
The Ohio put back as far as Un
alaska, arriving there July 3 for food,
after which she started north again.
Her passengers were then in a state
of mutiny, demanding that they bo
taken to some point where they might
be transhipped to another vessel but
the captain of the Ohio was obdurate
and insisted in again making the
attempt to reach Nome. At his ro
quest the revenue cutter McCulloch
accompanied him as a convoy from
Unalaska, but coming only a part of
the way. The final stage of the voy
age was assisted by the Corwin.
The arrival of the Ohio was the
occasion of great rejoicing here as
many of her passengers aro very
prominent on the Seward peninsula.
