(/P)— A night of 21 hours at America's farthest north settlement became commonplace to its citizens today as darkness of the arctic winter began to seal the circle for six months. Shipping already has been terminated from Nome to Barrow; all ships in the Arctic ocean raced home before the September equinox set in. Explorers curbed their activities long ago.

The white man prepares for some important meetings—the sessions of the farthest north bridge club. There are enough whiles for two tables and they play all winter long for high slakes—a watermelon which is brought into Barrow the following summer at a cost of $10.
