Description
Summary:Folks See First Boat In Years. FOLKS SEE FIRST BOAT IN YEARS POINT BARROW, Alaska, July 20. (/P)—First to pierce the arctic isolation of Point Barrow in six years, the motorship Patterson was plunging through the ice to the eastward of here today. The ship picked its way through the moving ice floes off the Point Barrow anchorage Wednesday and discharged mail and fruit before continuing to remote and sparsely settled trading posts further east. The Patterson took advantage of the first opportunity to reach Point Barrow, the ice having started to move only the day before.
