We were quite a number of miles away, and yet the thunder and roar were almost deafening The ship would shake and quiver os though an earthquake had t iken place.

From Ihe pictures, the city Is supposed to he lor-atr-d somewhere In Russia, but Is plainly seen al certain limes of Ihe year, calmly silting upon the Alaska mountains. •'leaving Muir glacier, we tailed to Hkaguav.

"Here we landed and haul* <1 our Umi as high up ou the shore as i>o*slblc. and gave it no further thought, being fresh water sailors, so we took our lunch and proceeded down to the beach. One of us after s time returned to the boat, or rath er to where the boat ought to have been, but to the astonishment of all our cruft, being set afloat by the Incoming tide, had turned around and was sailing beautifully out to sea. as though the oldest salt had her helm.

To say that w* were frightens! would be putting It mi.dly. Before w* fully realised our danger a passing fisherman kindly res cued our boat and brougla her ba*\k "Next day being a holiday we sailed to Priest Point, and, profiting hy our for mer experience, we battled in our boat, which was a very larg** one with a deep k**l. and with an old rope we tied her to m pin* stump, to make sure and avoid our trouble of the day before, but this time the tide was going out. and upon returning to sail home we found her beached high and dry. a quarter of a mile from water Now if there had been twenty men In the party altogether they could n°t have moved her a foot, ns she had it heavy Iron hal!au in her.
