BALBOA HEIGHTS, Canal Zone,
August 10.-The British authorities
treated us very well at Trinidad and.
in a couple of weeks, we were ready to
continue our voyage. They had in
formed us that we would be able to
remain only for one month, but we
were deeply grateful for that respite.
Our greatest surprise came when
the inspector general Of police in
formed US that we would not be per-
mitted to proceed again to sea in our
canoe and. as we had no money. the
authorities would provide us with q
big lifeboat.
We thought he was joking, but, to
our pleasant surprise, we found that
he had spoken in all seriousness. Not
only did the British authorities pro-
vide us with boat, but it was equipped
with sail. oars. food. water. a lamp, q
chart. everything that we might need.
1t was then our intention to try to
reach Florida, but, after the first week,
we were caught In a contrary current
and lost our directions. Finally we
decided to head for land, and, on July
l, l6 days after leaving Trinidad, we
arrived at La Goajira in Colombia.
Boat Is Destroyed.
When we tried to make the beach,
our boat was smashed up on the rocks,
and the Indians stole everything
which had not sunk beneath the
waves. We started out to walk to
Santa Marta. a distance of over $50
miles. The journey around the coast
took us eight days, and. Immediately
upon arrival. we were arrested.
On the following day We were trans
ferred to the prison in Barranquilla,
Colombia, and there we remained for
six months. believe that the author

Panama. It was on January 2, 1896,

times I took trails through the jungle

months. Actually, was never men

encountered on the trail looked at me
curiously and then scampered of into
the tangles. They were well fed on

On June 4. 1896. I arrived at Puerto
Obaldia. a few miles on the Pana-
manian side Of the Colombian from

Sumatran, two Colombians and an
Italian who were waiting for the op-
portunity to smuggle themselves into
Colon, but the captain Of the boat
making the run to the canal refused
to sell them passages. Finally I per-
suaded three men to set out with me
on foot. They walked with me for
two days along the beach and through
the jungle. but, as soon as we en-
they became alarmed and turned back.
Fortunately. they left with me a
machete which they bought in Puerto
Obaldia and this stood me in good
stead for the rest of the trip.
From Puerto Obaldia on, met tribe

showed me very limited degree of
hospitality. Sometimes they gave me
a few bananas. but they never let me

It then became my practice to steal
a canoe while they slept and start out
in the night on the continuation of my
voyage. OF course. always had to

It has also been active in de- partmental work, having furnished a large per cent of all department officers.

Tourists of former seasons tell friends who are coming to Alaska to look for the sign of Girl Scout Headquarters and good candy.
 From commercial point of view money brought into the small com- munity from the Outside and spent at home is good business. To those who sell the candy the greatest plea sure is in the delightful contacts made, especially with leaders, coun- cil members and Girl Scouts from all over the United States and Girl Guides from England and Canada

SITKA AUXILIARY SPONSORS GIRL s C Q U I TROOP.
Interesting Account Is Civ en by Mrs. Hugh Nich-

BY MRS. HUGH G. NICHOLSON

BY MRS. HUGH G. NICHOLSON
 The extremely active Sitka Le- zion Auxiliary has as one of it's ac- tivities the sponsoring of the Sitka Girl Scout Troop, one of the most active troops in the Territory.
 On July 30 the troops fifth annual camp period closed. For the third year the camp has met all require ments of Girl Scout camp as set forth by the National organiza tion. Until they passed the thorough phy- sical examination given by the local physician within one week of start ing to camp there was more or less uncertainty among the girls.
 Did that flu of last winter leave any bad after effects?'
 Will the doctor say I can't go in swimming just because I turn blue? He kept me cut of the water last year"
 Hope all that gargling cured my sore throat"
 He would find that cavity and say I must see the dentist before go to campp
 With the prized health certificates Tn their hands the girls started on their busy round of shopping for gay towels and wash cloths to be hung on the racks they had made during the winter and which would be above their individual wash ba- sins in a special place built for ab- luiions at camp. And the tooth brush? Mercy! that was the first thing packed.
 On the morning of July 16 the Girl Scouts arrived at Camp Rock ing Moon" at Neva Point, in the Tongass National Forest. Everything had been made ready for them the day before. A log cabin or lodge 20 by 40 feet housed the living dining room, kitchen and headquarters Across a mountain stream. over a rustic bridge built by the girls last summer, Tent City" lay in the sun- light and shadows.
 Seven tents 10 by 12 feet on raised floors were used for sleeping quar- ters for the girls and their leaders. A hospital tent was also in readi- ness but was not needed for that purpose. A few barnacle scratches constituted the sum total of casu- alties.
 A most distinctive feature of this years program was weaving ano carving in wood. Two looms were set up and were in almost constant use. Gay scarfs and handbags tc match practically depleted the yarr supply in Sitsa. Eagles, owls, squir- rels, and other objects of the out door world were carved and made into pins to be worn by the girls as their patrol emblem.
 The nature project was on birds Clearing the grounds, cutting wood and making new trails had their part in the program of camp actl- vities, as well as signaling.
 The girls were provided with at. tractive materials for needlework and employed much time in fash. loning garments for themselves.

Short History of Ketchikan Post No. 5
 by
 DWIGHT A. CHASE Past Department Commander
DWIGHT A. CHASE

To write a short history of the hird post by number in the Terri tory of Alaska but the first by ac- ivity is certainly a task because m active post means lots of his- torical facts that must be recorded.
 Ketchikan like practically every other town in Alaska turned out a nigh per cent of men to the war cause, which was under the name of Democracy. The Ketchikan boys returning from the war and eager ,o preserve the memories and inci- dents of their association in the Great War and their devotion to mutual helpfulness, organized the Sons of Democracy early in 1919. At the organizat ton of The Ameri- can Legion in Alaska in 1920 the Ketchikan group applied the same year for an American Legion Char ter and the Sons of Democracy dis banded and the local post of the American legion formed at Ketchi- kan Post No 3.
 Without going into detail, pro- oably the listing of the achieve ments of this post would best re- fleet the historical activities.
 Early in the year 1924 valuable piece of property was acquired in the downtown section by an execu- tlVe order from the President of the United States. With this start a building corporation was organized and money was raised for a small building known as The Dugout. This structure has served as quarters for the post up to the present time. Im- provements have been made from time to time including the enlarging of the building.
 In 1927 and 1923 ash trees were imported for Wrangell by the cour tesy of that post and the grounds in the vicinity of the ball park greatly improved by the planting of these trees.
 One of the biggest jobs ever tack led by Ketchikan Post was the transferring of six totem poles from Iongass Island to Ketchikan. This required about three years of hard work. First getting permission to take the poles, second, getting them down and into Ketchikan, third re- conditioning them and fourth set ting them up prominently. They are beautiful sight as they today appear on special site at the ball park, Ketchikan's one city park.

 MT. Herbert Greig was a valuable member of the camp staff this year He was instructor in weaving and wood carving. His vivid accounts of the years he had spent in Africa made the story telling hour both popular and instructive.
 Members of the council are Mrs H. J. Hodgins, chairman: Mrs. Eos ter Mills, secretary treasurer; Mrs Hugh G. Nicholson, camp chairman: Mrs. R. w. De Armond and Mrs. L. c. Berg members of the camp con- mittee.
 Financing a Girl Scout camp as large and as well equipped as Rock Ing Moon" is unique. As nest egg the American Legion Auxiliary of Sitka gives $25 yearly. The Girl Scouts are sponsored by the local unit. On the 2lst of each March, the first day of spring, silver tea is given in the home of a council mem- Der. A sum ranging between forty and fifty dollars is always cleared. Feminine Sitka puts on it's best bib and tucker and does honor to the Girl Scouts. Even a number of the
