D , M. a , ' B6 E 1 2- 1 'Y' ' NOME LIBERTY Once the Fiwrst Division had planted the udeadmann, put the gangway over the side, and liberty had been declared there was no shortage of men who were willing to walk two miles for a beer. Ltjg. Ryder and Ltjg. Stichter with his UDT detachment preceded the liberty party with marker flags, ostensibly to show the way to Nome but in reality to show the way back from Nome to the ship for those not possessing all their faculties. It was an unusual experience walking two miles across shore-fast ice to go il liberty. All this ice-walking took place during the pring Cruise, by the time the ship had returned to Nome in the summer the ice had broken up enough to render any trans-ice migration-s unfeasible. Instead, the LCVP provided excitement for the liberty party since the waters were rough and cold, and the helicopters provided the excitement for a few others. I On both the Spring and Summer Cruises the Bering Sea Club seemed to be the hub of this small universe. Chrome Dome and his Frigid Five was the big drawing card, of course. This unique combination dedicated to refined music was made up predominantly from the BURTON ISLAND crew and patronized entirely by the BURTON ISLAND crew. An alert capitalist patroled the edge of the ice pack offering an unusual taxi service back to the ship. Lt. Ned Miller, the navigator on the Spring Cruise, and Tyler, TN on both cruises, were the only two that are known to have utilized the dog sled. ,l 'llllivllbl 1 I I W l Ml I XX ff agp 'iv so QT! j - '- ' bars and gambling houses never closed doors
