Trip To The Glacier
 Anna Lewis,

A pat COllSlSllus OI uillC iClb Ol the Duckland Sunday morning for the Stikine Glacier. The party proved to be very jolly and after travelling for some time in the fog we reached Andrews place. The fog had then lifted and thel sun shone so brightly that we were able to sit out on the deck and watch the beautiful scenery.
 On reaching our destination we were taken up a snfall slough where we were able to land and roam on the beach while Capt. Johansen and the mate roWed the boats on up the slough where they landed and fixed the boats Pso the Capt. and Mate cought up with us as we started for the lake which we did not reach as it was getting late and we had to start for home,
 A number of pictures were taken of the crowd before starting for the boat, On reaching the boat a number of the girls got lunch ready for the others and after lunch we started for home.
 About four o clock the fog set tied again and was so thick that we could not see where We were headed and were taken upon a sand bar. About six o'clock one of our girls got busy and before long had some supper fer the ship wrecked crew. After supper the party sang songs 10 pass the long night away. At eleven o'clock we made our beds on the floor, which was comfortable for about fifteen minutes. The night passed away very slowly for those that had to sleep on the floor. At six o'clock We were able to find half a dozen eggs, four sljc35 )t bread and a few cold potatoes left from the night before which we warmed for breakfast,
 After breakfast we prepared our selves for a long ride in the row boats and about half past eight we were on our way home, The mate after eating so many high bush CfanDe rrleS; was rather weak and unable to pull hard so We had to drift down the river as far as pos sible. We soon reached the Gar i net Ledge where we stopped a short time to get warm. While cross- ing the channel to the main land 1t started to rain and the girls soon lost all their natural curls.
 We reached home about twelve o'clock, wet; hungry and tired but with many rememberances of new seems and experiences to repay us for our trip.
