Part of the training of a Coast guard officer is to take things as he finds them, handle them to the best of his ability, tell the truth about them whether it reflects on him, personally, or not, pro- ceed to the next thing at hand without getting unduly excited over his own part in the matter, whatever it may be In other words. he's not looking for bou- Quets When, therefore, a lands man happens on the scene and n1anifests 3 disposition to accord credit where credit is due, such skipper as Captain Jones, for instance, shows a tendency to de- preciate such action and would have the writer put on the "soft pedal The writer retorts. how ever, that having been subject to the kindly discipline of Coast guard life on the Northland dur ing this memorable cruise, he is now ion his own" and purposes speaking the thoughts that arise as he looks back in retrospect upon the three months he has spent on "The Angel of the Arc tic". And he can put it in sen tenceS.

Michael, and had to eat their dog harness and other leather. In March they were relieved upon meeting Lukeen who was returning from a journey to the southern mountains. He and natives furnished them with ample supplies for their return to his fort after a short journeyetao the coast. Lukeen was returning to his fort after a short journey into the mountains. Glazonof's ex- ploration was the most extensive carried on while Wrangell was gov ernor, and we have seen the part played by Lukeen and his fort.
 It was probably later in the same year (1S33) that the following events related by MT. Walsh oc- cured. "The second season that Kolmakof was here he left Creole Luke at the fort and went up the Kuskokwim and then up the Tokot- na and crossed over to the .Onoka at Yankee landing. He came down the Onoka and heard of Koyukuk Indians coming to the Yukon and massaereing every village as they came. Kolmakof turned back and when he came down the Kusko- kwim to his little fort he found Creole Luke murdered by the h. dians and this same little block house torn down. He picked up what was left and took it down to the present site of Kolmakof (Kol- makovsky) and rebuilt it there. After it was rebuilt at Kolmakof the Indians tried several times to seize it but were beaten each time as there was a small size cannon in it."
 The new location of the fort be- came a Russian trading post in 1899, and was known as Kolmak ovsky. There was a stockade around seven large, roughly-built frame dwellings and log warehouses. There was a chapel on a flat timbered mesa we'll above the river" In ad dition to the above description, FL liott has included a picture of the trading post in his volume. The post marked the extent of Eskimo penetration up the river and the limit of the Indian tribes of the upper basin. Trade was with the Indians and not with the Eskimos. It is hoped that many will see this historic building from the Kusko- kwim on the college campus in it's third location.
