Amundsen Arrives in Nome After Winter Off Siberian Coast in Disabled Vessel
Craft to Be Towed to Sound City for Repairs, After Which Attempt to Reach Pole Will Be Renewed.
By Associated Press.
NOME, Alaska, June 18.—Roald Amundsen, the explorer, whose ship, the Maude, wintered off Cape Serge, Siberia, arrived in Nome today and will leave for Seattle on the first steamer, he announced. The Maude lost a propeller in the ice during the winter and will be towed to Seattle some time this summer for repairs.
The explorer, noted for his discovery of the South Pole and his many Arctic and Antarctic voyages, said he would continue his efforts to reach the North Pole by drifting with Arctic ice floes as soon as repairs to his vessel were completed.
He spent the winter on board the Maude with one native and three white companions, and said the party experienced few vicissitudes. He reached Nome on the trading schooner Herman which had picked him up at East Cape, Siberia.
With the explorer were the daughter of Charles Carpenter, a Siberian trader, and a Chuchuk Eskimo girl, whom he will send to school in Norway.
