Sunday, May 24, 1914. Trying to put in at Nome.


Robert Bartlett arrived in Nome on the whaler Herman in his epic effort to provide relief to the Canadian Arctic Expedition.  Ice prevented the ship from putting in, however.  It turned towards St. Michael, where three days later Bartlett was able to radio the dire news to Ottawa.

The Belgian Catholic Party won 41 out of 88 seats of the Belgian Chamber of Representatives.
