FOR four days the Santa Maria felt blindly through the white fields, drifting north with the spring tide that sets through Behring Strait, till, on the morning of the fifth, open water showed to the east. Creeping through, she broke out into the last stage of the long race, amid the cheers of her weary passengers; and the dull jar of her engines made welcome music to the girl in the deck state-room.
 
Soon they picked up a mountainous coast which rose steadily1 into majestic2, barren ranges, still white with the melting snows; and at ten in the evening under a golden sunset, amid screaming whistles, they anchored in the roadstead of Nome. Before the rumble3 of her chains had ceased or the echo from the fleet’s salute4 had died from the shoreward hills, the ship was surrounded by a swarm5 of tiny craft clamoring about her iron sides, while an officer in cap and gilt6 climbed the bridge and greeted Captain Stephens. Tugs7 with trailing lighters8 circled discreetly9 about, awaiting the completion of certain formalities. These over, the uniformed gentleman dropped back into his skiff and rowed away.
 
“A clean bill of health, captain,” he shouted, saluting10 the commander.
 
“Thank ye, sir,” roared the sailor, and with that the row-boats swarmed11 inward pirate-like, boarding the steamer from all quarters.
