It is probably the tour ist witnessed Jim Gibson, a guide to big game hunters, moving carload of native hay for his horses at Liz nite The names Maude Muller and Judge is also poetic license for two other tourists. The poet must have hailed from Texas as there are no snakes in Alaska
 Maude Muller on a summer day, Baked the meadow sweet with hay. The work was hard and So violent, Oyertaxed her strength and so quick she went,
 All drenched with prespiration sweet,
 Down to the river to cool her feet. And kneeling on her shelving brink,
 Bent over far so to get drink, The Judge was fishing on the bank And thought to play her foolish prank
 Snakes, snakes" he cried, Look out!" he roared,
 Poor Maud shrieked loud then fell overheard.
 He fished Maud out looking very ill She went straight to camp and had chill.

 The Doctor said she sure might die. Moral-"For of all fool tricks of maid or men
