Nevertheless we were enabled to steam through, aided by strong southerly winds, and about May 13 we began packing trunks and writing letters, expecting to reach Nome on the morrow. "On the 14th we became aware that we had drifted into a different species of ice. Great icebergs loomed up on either side of us, IJttß feet thick and as far as the eye could follow from th" crow's nest on the topmast. Ice banked up fifty feet above the decks of the ship.
