b. far the most interesting ruins
on the coast were those we found
near the entrance to Nachvack bay.
1t was evident from their appear
ance that they had never been Wis
tied Try Decorating strangers, and
even the natives disclaimed all
knowledge of them.
Upon a narrow strip of beach, at
the foot Of a precipitous ravine, cut
ting the crest of the mountainous
cliffs which ovorhang the sea, half
buried in shingle and weighted
with a heavy covering of turf and
moss, arc the well preserved remains
I of what was once the residence of a
populous tribe.
The main entrance had been form
ed by setting upon end the lower
jawbones of a whale. This led into
a broad passageway, from which
smaller ones branched at irregular
intervals, and which terminated at
the various family apartments or
habitations. Whales bones entered
largely into the construction of the
whole, no other material having
been used for supports. Nachvack
is far beyond the northern tree linn
it of the coast, and these were
doubtless the best substitute for
timbers which could be procured.
The vertebrD of whales had been
used as stools and for various Other
purposes; the framework of kayaks
and komatiks, skin boats and sledg.
es, were of bone and horn; the weap.
ons and implements were of stone,
bone, horn and ivory. Enough Of
these were present to have filled {
ship, but not q scrap of iron Or 9th
er metal could be found.-Outing.

We have had some fine weather. and
our farmers are about done planting
corn. There will be considerable
shortage in the wheat crop here, this
season. Many fields were ploughed and
put in oats and corn. A great deal of
wheat was sowed last fall during the
drought and meyer sprouted and came
up. While last winter it was sub
Jected to many hard freezes with no pro-
lection from snow. Apple, peach, pear,
plum and cherry trees bloomed heavily.
and, if nothing Interferes large crop
is expected. Meadow and pasture
lands are in fine condition and with a
little more rain we may expect a boun-
tiful hay crop.

where they will have an abundance.
