® ALASKA'S CAPITAL THE CURIOUS OLD TOWN OF SITKA, FORMERLY NEW ARCHANGEL. First Ympressions of the SettlomenteNo Place Like Castle the Cathedral=Logs In the Frimeval Forest. HomeThe and » We were picking our way through a per fect wilderness of islands, on the lookout for the capital, of which we had read and heard so much. Surely the Alaskan pilot must Apave the eye and the instinct of a seabird or he could never find a port in that labyrinth Mareover the air was misty; we felt that we were approaching the sea. Lofty mountains towered above us; sometimes the swam apart—they seemed all in motion, as if they were swinging to and fro on the tide saw islands and then down a magnificent vista we the richly pes of some gl height that loomed out of the bathed ite forehead in the sunshine. Some times the mist grew denser and we could hardly a ship's length ahead of us; alr was so chilly that our drawn snugly about us, and wondered what the temperature might be “down south” in Dakota and New England, FIRST IMPRESSIONS, wooded slopes wious vapor and Lb LE and the wits overe were we In the grayest of gray days we came to Sitka, and very likely for this reason found it a disappointment at first sight. Certainly it looked dreary enough as we approached is | —a little cluster of tumble-down houses scat- tored along a bleak and rocky shores. We steamed al ast it, made a big turn in deep water, got a tolerable view of the city from one end of it to the other, and then crept up to the one little doek, made fast, were all granted the freedom of the capital for a couple of ddys. Itisa gray place, gray with a greenish tinge in it—the kind of green that looks perennial, a dark, dull green There was « little show of color among the costumes of the people om shore—bright blankets sud brighter calicoss—but there was no suspicion of gayety or of a possible show of enthusiasm among the few sedate people who caine down to see us disembark. I begren to wonder if these solemn specta- Drs that were grouped aloog the dock were ghosts materialized for the occasion: if the place were literally dead—dead as the ancien Russian cometery on the Lill, where the white arosses with their double arma, the upper and shorter one aslant, shone through the sad Pit of the waning day, We had three little Russian maids on our passenger list, daugh ters of Father Mitropolski, the Greek pri ot Sitka.
