There is rcpurwd“ to be much ice, and I am looking forward to a harder voyage than usaul. -I only hope it will not be! much worse than in 1931." \ In that year the vessel nearly was caught in the ice off Wain- | ght, little Arctic settlement. The voyage will be the fifteenth Arctic adventure for the vessel, and | the tenth for her young skipper. ! Buildings On Board { The C. S. Holmes will carry s! manse for the Presbyterian Church | &t Wainwright. The church was | taken, “knocked down,” on the vessel last year.
