Come, we'd best be walking said Tom,
at last, and he led the way inland.
We had traversed perhaps dozen rods,
when he suddenly halted, with startled
exclamation.
The mist was not SO dense here as it was
near the shore, and just before us appeared
the outline of what Westerner would call
"dug-out." A long, low structure it was,
its rather oyalshaped roof covered with moss
and turf. The door was low and seemed to

While we stripped off our clothing, the man

Gr7T was in the spring of IA not such
lEI long time ago, yet little was
k4k4 known at that date of the vast and
EQE19DI barren country which we sighted

morning..
"Tbere's Alaska. boys" said old Bill Tim

on deck in the morning watch and he pointed
his stubbed forefnger toward what seemed
to be a light bank of haze low down on the
horizon '1That's the country that Congress

deeply interested in everything we saw.
We had long been on the lookout for first
glimpse of Alaska, and when an hour or so
later the snow-capped summit Of Mount st.

scene was unbounded.
We were both New England boys, born on
the coast of Maine and Injured to the hard
life of chose who go down to the sea in

beauty Of the rocky coast.

it by this time.
Before the forenoon watch was called a
whale was "raised" just to the south of us,
and both Tom and / had something else to
think of beside the scenery
{. Our boat was the first off, and the stern
visaged mate would allow no ones eyes to
roam from the oars.
The whale was an old bull, and tough
customer at that. We were number Of
lengths ahead of either of the other boats
when Bill Timmins rose in the bow to cast
the iron.
One moment he stood there. his arm drawn
back and the harpoon quivering in his grasp;
the next, as it seemed to me, the great. fish
threw its tail around. and with the blow
smashed our. boat to kindling wood, sending
the crew flying in every direction.
Fortunately no one had been injured, and
we chung to the driftwood and oars while the
other boats attacked the whale. 1t would
never do to- lose the prize, so thought Cap

after the fish was secured
Both the boats were fast at about the same
time, and although .hampered by their weight,
the whale drew slowly away from our vi
cinity.
