Will Fly From Ice-Chained Ship. Will Fly From Ice-Chained Ship NOME, Alaska. UP)—Plucky Marion Swenson may be seeing gay city lights instead of blizzard and the gray vastness of the arctic before she hoped. She and her father, Captain Olaf Swenson, are to fly from his fur trading ship, the Nanuk, instead of patiently waiting for the ice to break. Since last June Miss Swenson, Seattle high school student, has been on her father's ship, now locked in the ice off Cape North, Siberia. Many weeks of short rations and hours around an oil stove in the cabin waited her. Then came aviators searching for Carl Ben Eielson and Earl Borland, lost flyers. The Nanuk served as a base. Now Marion and her father plan to fly back to civilization on the first plane to leave.
