There, on Sept. 12, the Frieda K, a 101-ft. supply vessel with five Alaskans on board, accidentally strayed inside Soviet territorial waters and was seized by a Soviet border-patrol boat. The Americans, who were on a routine trip to carry supplies to a seismographic research vessel in the Bering Strait, were taken to the bleak Siberian outpost of Ureliki on Provideniya Bay and confined. Only after the U.S. launched formal protests in Washington and Moscow last week...
