THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, MONDAY, SEPT. 10, 1934. 'NEPTUNE MAKES ARCTIC CIRGLE VISITTO SHIP Steamer Victoria Stops in Juneau Southbound from Month at Sea In the course of the Arctic 5 of the Victoria, which d here southbound Saturday | and which is nearing the; more than a month at| passengers were treated to the annual event of a visit from! Neptune when the ship crossed the Arctic Circle. i Neptune, in the person of W. C. Hubbard, Chief Steward of the| Victoria, arose from the sea, at-! tired in purple togs, with a jewel- encrusted gold crown on his head, and held court on the deck. After ®an appropriate ceremony, members of the Arctic Adventurers' Club aboard the ship were admitted to Neplune's realm. Unusual Place Although the ceremony is a reg- ular occurrence aboard ships cross- ing the Equator, this is believed to have been the first time that it has been solemnized on a passenger ship crossing the Arctic Circle. fls Many places of unusual interest were visited in the course of the s Drg cruise, which was under the direction of Kenneth A. Cross. | At St. Paul Island, passcngers‘ hed the privilege of viewing the ! seal rookeries, and were taken| through the village to the Grcek\ Orthodox Church. At Akutan, they witnessed the bringing in and cut- ting up of two sulphur-bottom | whales. They visited the United B¢+ States submarines at Dutch Har-i bor, and were conducted through 2 them by the courtesy of the Naval| officers. Visit Many Places In Nome, they were “nLerLamed by citizens of the town, taken to | the gold dredges in operation| , and to the King Island| Eskimo Village, where they saw native sports such as blanket toss- ing, kayak racing and kayak tip- ping. The old Russian blockhouses and the church at St. Michael Island were productive of much interest on the part of the tourists. Kot- zebue Eskimos gave an impromptu exhibition of native dances, and their baseball team administered a beating to the ship's team by a' score of 2 to 1. I Reaching the ice pack was one of the particularly high points of the cruise, this being the first time that a passenger cruise ship jing when | Columbia Glacier, which provided had ever accomplished the feat. The ice pack was found about six miles from Rodgers Bay at Wran- gell Island. Rodgers Bay was Amundsen’s base during his fa- | mous Arcuc exploration. eria At Port Dezhnef, Siberia, Americans were met by rcprcsen- |tatives of the Soviet Governm: and were very cordially emertamod there. Southbound, the Victoria called in at Nome, Dutch Harbor, Aku- tan, Coiumbia Glacier and Cor- dova before reaching Juneau. Ev- LOCAL DRUG 0.
