GoldMrGite's Geographical Magazine. With
many smiles, Peter entered the caoIn and sat
down at the table should have apologized to
him on account OF the Scantiness OF our fare

tallow on deck even. Peter sat down and
without ceremony helped himself to a lot of
baked oeans piece OF dry bread and a large
piece OF very lean xnlt beef, all of which he bit
into and swallowed as hungry longshoreman
might have done Then he took more beans
and more bread and more lean beef and with
them several cups of coffee with a great deal of
sugar to each cup. He was long time getting

mind his story of wonderful feat which he
saw performed by Alaska Indians during his
raft journey of 800 miles down the Yukon
river in 1888. The water of the river at the
