We hope to get away from here this evening for the Arctic, intending to cruise along the Alaskan coast beyond Point Barrow spending some time about Kotzebue Sound .

He relates: ""Our walk was very fatiguing, as we sank deep in spongy moss at every step, and staggered awkwardly on the tops of tussocks of grass and sedge . It was very delightful, however, and crowded with rare beauty."" |
