Cordova Is Overcast The day was cloudy and overcast, but residents prepared for a water carnival tomorrow at Lake Eyak, warmed by a long hot Spell. At Nome Eskimos dominated the Fourth of July celebration with kayak and oomiak (skin boat) races, wrestling events and a contest to see how high they could kick with both feet. A large number of tourists were on hand for the observance. The temperature remained in the 80's today, after setting an all-time high mark of 83.8 degrees yesterday. A few residents spent $30 each to take a nonstop flight over Cape Siberia.
