Viewed from a point at sea about 7 miles E.N.E., off Tolstoi Mees; these characteristic swarms of waterfowl, arries and choochkies, stirred up by an approach of the steamer, encircle the whole island in this manner, and give notice to a mariner, in thick weather, of the proximity of that island long before it can be seen

But in Bristol Bay the vessel was trapped in a big ice floe which was about 100 miles across. The was held there for over two weeks, until the weather changed, the ice broke up, and she was able to limp through the remaining ice to [the] cannery mooring in Bristol Bay.
Another vessel--the sailing ship 'Tacoma'--was crushed and sunk. All her passengers got to shore safely, after a very severe trip across the ice.
