Ice-Bound for Months.

Nome, Alaska.—Capt Joe Bernard and A. Anderson have arrived here with their vessel, the Teddy Bear, after four years spent in the Arctic, during 25 months of which time they were ice-bound at Taylor Island in Victoria strait, near King William Land. Captain Bernard brought with him a native of the land of Stefansson’s blonde Eskimos, but declared that after two years’ search of that district he was unable to locate any of the blonde natives. He found sod houses evidently of great age on East Carnation gulf, he said, and brought back pieces of old ivory and other curios uncovered in the ruins.
