Amundsen Arrives in Nome
After Winter Off Siberian
Coast in Disabled Vessel

Craft to Be Towed to Sound
City for Repairs, After
Which Attempt to Reach
Pole Will Be Renewed.

By Associated Press.

NOME, Alaska, June 18.—Roald
Amundsen, the explorer, whose
ship, the Maude, wintered off Cape
Serge, Siberia, arrived in Nome to-
day and will leave for Seattle on the
first steamer, he announced. The
Maude lost a propeller in the ice
during the winter and will be towed
to Seattle some time this summer for
repairs.

The explorer, noted for his discov-
ery of the South Pole and his many
Arctic and Antarctic voyages, said he
would continue his efforts to reach
the North Pole by drifting with Arctic
ice floes as soon as repairs to his ves-
sel were completed.

He spent the winter on board the
Maude with one native and three
white companions, and said the party
experienced few vicissitudes. He
reached Nome on the trading schoon-
er Herman which had picked him up
at East Cape, Siberia.

With the explorer were the daugh-
ter of Charles Carpenter, a Siberian
trader, and a Chuchuk Eskimo girl,
whom he will send to school in Nor-
way.
