As we started to take the old donkey engine float back to its moorings in Jamestown bay one day this last week We encounter ed a strong east wind which made things decidcdlyunpleasant until Mr. Newel a very good friend of ours camC to our res cue with his powerful little boat the Elsie. Theua,l was changed and what had been a dreaded undertaking became picnic. On the waywhich was only half a mile from the school two large cod were cought off the end of the float and 8 fine deer came swiming up so close that one of the natives in a small boat along side caugh. it with his hands.

It vas was with a feeling Of regret that we saw Miss Haines leave on the last Al-ki. We all feel that the Sheldon Jackson Scaoo! has lost a most efficient yorker.

Nearly all our people are out of town at this tune May 2}Ja. The church and school seem desertej but lhye are not for tho the buildings may be empty and the members far away there is a bond that can not be broken and many are the earnest prayers that are offered in hundreds of little camps all over Alaska for the continued prosperity of the organization and the spiritualup building of the people. The summer months are times of special testing for our people for they are surrounded by degrading influences of all kinds with very little to help them.
