along carefully up the sound and
reached her wharf at ten O'Clock. 1
think the whole city had turned out to
meet us-this being the first steamer
from the Klondike this season. We
made the trip all in good ahape in
twelve days. Most of the passengers
remained on board until morning, but
myself and a gentleman from st.
Louis by the name of Captain Haller,
who had been my partner all the way
on the trip, went up town and got a
room and went to bed. About half
hour after going to bed, the bed bugs
got so bad that we had to get up and
leave the bed, and we spread out some
bear skins we had with us on the floor,
stripped off all our clothes and slept
on the bear skins fairly well until
morning. I had heard that ed-bug
would not 60 on bear skin-we tried
it and found it worked pretty well.
The next morning 1 looked up
Lieut.. John Huff of the Seattle police
force whomI had known in former
years in Caledonia, who agreed to
show us the town, but suggested that
it would be good thing if we would
60 to a barber shop and get hair
cut and a shave. I had neither shaved
nor had my hair cut in eighteen
months. had whiskers foot long
and my hair was down on my
shoulders in ringlets like Buffalo Bill.
After getting bath, a hair cut,
shave, and new suit of clothes, l felt
like belonged to the states. l met
many of my fellow passengers on the
streets but none of them recognized
me. In the afternoon, hundreds of
the passengers went to the Governors
Assay Office to see the show of weigh
ing the gold that came down on the
steamers. The Seattle papers stated
next morning that there was some
thing over sixteen million dollars in
gold.
After taking in Seattle and seeing
the sights two days, I purchased a
ticket over the Northern Pacific via
Billings, Montana, Kansas City and
to Wichita. In few days I got my
old job back again of depot master at
Colorado Springs, Colorado, not any
richer but great deal wiser.
And now the story ofmy trip is end
ed have endeavored faithfully to
interest the readers of the REGISTER
and if I have succeeded, am well
paid for my trouble. Thanking you,
