spoke cautiously and without imply.

From this period Ton Campbell Church, owner of the yacht Westward, which sailed for sAfognak yesterday, stated he planned running into Sew. 'ard every two weeks, .untilt the last part of October when he will take the vessel south to Seattle. The recent trip to Seward was made primarily, for the purpose of picking lip Al Peel, guide and big game hunter, who will probably remain with the Church party until the departure of the vessel south. A base camp has been erected at Afognak from which point the, first hunt will start from Later the hunt CTS will go into the Mckinley Park region for a hunt and also back in the Healy river country.
 Around the first of next month six prominent business men from eastern, southern and western states, will ar rive in Seward to join the party which will proceed back to the Westward on the yacht Westward. A moving picture machine will be taken along on the hunt. Assiting them on the Westward hunt will be guides Brown and Davis of Kodiak
 Already, MT. Church said, half of the seasons outing has gone by and it is hard to realize it has gone, so interesting has been the Westward cruise. The report of the alleged tidal wave off Umnak Island which was supposed to have swamped one of the skiffs was untrue, Mr. Church said, for, quite to the contrary at that par ticular time one the canoes, in which a few supplies was being taken ashore, capsized in the surf All mem bers of the party have frequently been wet to the skin so that wetting was all in the days work, or pleasure,
 Mrs. Church and three daughters plan leaving Seward September IS for the south, which will permit the girls ample time to return home and enter school.
 Wm L. Finlay, one of the directors and editor of the Nature Magazine, published at Washington, D. C., did not come over to Seward on the re- cent trip but remained with MT. Church's son, and two officers of the vessel, at the Afognak camp.
