The Alkaline left Ivlgkt on October 10 with a cargo of cryolite for this port, but a hurricane forced Captain Jan-sen Jan-sen to seek safety In tho harbor of Areuk, on October 2'j. Wheu the storm tubsldod, the Ice had formed to such an extent that It was impossible impos-sible to get the vessel through to clear water and the only thing to do was to make tho twelve men comprising compris-ing the crew as comfortable as possible pos-sible for tho long arctic winter. Arsuk is inhabited only by Eskimos. The hark probnbly will not be able to leave Greenland until May. 00 |
