.. We parted with our reader at mld
' night, when lingering on deck with
Captain Carroll, aa be entertained hi
enthusiast admirers while witnessing
" ti aurora borealia in all Its grandeur.
' Tills magnificent display of. northern
i lights aurpaases 'all uescrlptlon. "This
luminous ' meteoric phenomenon ap
pears In glowing streams of light run
ning upward towards the zenith, where
it spreads In varying colors from pale
yellow and orange to a deep red most
wonderful in brilliancy." It Is a sight
that once witnessed is never forgotten
by the beholder. As daylight comes on
we are again on the lookout, and still
not In Alaska. For two days have we
been sailing In British waters and must
rontinue thereon until 2 p. m. today be
fore we can enter our own wonderland
again. The thought that our own pos
sessions must be cut In twain by those
of a foreign country and on this contin
ent ot America too, sends a chill over
us hard to remove- I doubt not that
every- American- passenger's enthusi
asm was slightly chilled with the cold
reflection that all tills gratia scenery
and waterway that wo have traversed,
Is English; even the breakwater (Van
couver Island) which protects the great
.inland sea (the Gulf of Georgia) is not
ours is not American. . .
The longer we travel here, the morn
intensified 4a the feeling thut none of
this glorious domain should be owned
and controlled by a foreign nation. Und
hasten the time when by a peaceable
annexation the Union Jack will give
way to Old Glory and only the Stars and
Stripes wjll wave over every inch of
ground on tne American continent.
Purine the night our noble steamer
made its way through Fltihurh Sound
und several straits and channels; Cap
tain Carroll has so- wisely planned this
, . round trip that what we fail, to see on
our outward voyage, can be seen on the
return passage.
At the upper end of Fltzhutrh Sound,
, a surprise awaits us by a sudden turn
. ing about of the steamer, whose helm
is put hard-a-starboard and swings
into "Lama Passage," which presents
to the perplexed tourist something the
... shape of "an half-open jack knife."
This passage Is a narrow and beautiful
wooded waterway fifteen miles long.
Its northern shore Is broken at one
place by an Indian graveyard, with
kennels of tombs painted with totemio
designs and many flags and streamers
Hying from tall poles. On the opposite
cove, on Campbell Island, we pass the
- native village of Bella-Bella. Here
is a model Indian town, with a mis
sion church, school, store and cabins
shining In their beauty and apparent
cleanliness. The church tplres, ' the
white-washed cottages, th cattle on
the cleared hills, gives the place quite a
civilized aspect. There are said to be
about twenty-five white men here and
400 Indians. The Bella-Bella camp,
some eighty miles up among the mount
""fains, come here to trade. These tribes
was long the most treacherous, blood
thirsty and turbulent of any tribes that
the Hudson Bay company had to deal
witn.
IN SEAFORTH CHANNEL.
From Lama Passage we emerge Into
the- broad Seaforth Channel. The
scenery here Is by far the finest yet
peen. Its beauty Is greatly enhanced by
atmospheric effects, utterly unlike any
thing that ninety-nine out of one nun
dred of our fellow passengers have ever
seen. The sun set, too, as seen on our
return voyage presented a jcene of In
descrlbable grandeur." As betore stat
ed, we remained on deck with Captain
Carroll and others to behold the most
resplendent Illuminations we ever wit'
nessed. The author, the artist . even,
everybody on board, declared in "rap
ture that no pen or brush can depict the
beauty of these, midnight Alaskan
scenes. .';. ,. r v V' . ;, .
We headed north and west from fteaY
forth Channel into' Sfilbank Sound,
about an eight irdle-ruri, and here we
look to sea for a brief half-hour. and
then plunge into Finlayson Channel,
another typical waterway of this In
land passage, like a great river twenty
four miles long and from one to two
; miles wide' with depths tf fifty to 160
fathoms. The shores are bold and the
wooded mountains rise to even 3,000 feet
with perpetual snow. Here islands suc
ceed Islands and mountains succeed
mountains, and here we see glacier
paths on the lofty so-called pyramidal
-"Stripe Mountain," 2,000 feet high,
Showing brilliant stripes of white
reaching to heights where solitude
reigns supreme. The scenery Increases
in charm as the steamer passes through
"Hie Hlsh. Narrows," a quarter of a
mile wide. Here are beautiful water
falls that dash down the precipitous
heights like silvery channels on a deep
green background. They say all these
little streams abound in salmon, giving
the Indians a bountiful supply.
Twenty-four miles bring the steamer
into Wright Sound first through Gra
ham Reach, seventeen rhtles, followed

Wright Sound" Is like a lake, irreg
ular in form and entered by five or six
different channels. AU around this
sleeDlna- beauty" rise numerous dome-
shaped mountains as sentlnal guards.
On passenger says "It recalls his view
of the capltol dome at Washington
on approaching that city.", wny mat
dome is only 300 feet high, while sev
eral of these "bald heads" are from
two to three thousand feet high over
looking the deck of our steamers, as
giant sentinels. One was "The Old
Man," rising 2.000 feet from the water's
edge, which far surpasses the "Old Man
of the Mountain." in the White Moun
tains of New Hampshire. Another fea
ture is Its great depth of water, where
no bottom is found at 225 fathoms
Here submerged peaks stand as Islands.
At "Hartley Harbor." Is a village of
Christian Indians, who were formerly
members of Evangelist Duncan s com-
munltyof Old Mettakakhv Here is a
church, school house, saw mill. etc. We
are now getting farther enough north
to make the .sight of perenlal snow a
familiar one, with which the name of
Alaska Is principally associated In the
mind of most persons not in Alaska
yet. We next enter "Greenville Chan
nell," that lies between Pitt Island and
the main land. It is forty-five miles
long, straight as an arrow, without
bend or break, and here are further
scenes of wonderful beauty arJ sub-
iimuy on ine glacier oruer. iiere ore
mountains several thousand feet high
unnamed, for no white man has ever
visited them, and cascades which seem
to tumble from the sky Itself and
through the openings glaciers and aval
anches are seen. In some places the
channel is so narrow that an ocean
steamer like the New Turk or St. Paul
would touch both sides of the passage.
Soon the Channel expands and we pass
through a narrow straight known as
"Arthur Passage," with Kennedy Is
land on the right and Porcher Island
on the left and the fresh water of
Skeena river entering from the contin
ent on the east and mountains nearly
8.000 feet high guarding it. This river
we are told was the greatest salmon
stream on the continent, comprising
over a hundred fishing boats and the
canneries producing eight thousand
cases of salmon each season.
Continuing . our .course through the
Malacca passage, we enter the broad
expanse of Chatham sound, the last
channel traversed In British domain,
and a royal sheet of water It Is, too,
forty miles long and ten miles wide,
and the three hours' sail upon its bos
om gives the tourist another taste of
the swells from the broad Pacific. Here
are many fine views of distant moun
tain ranges; the one lying back of Fort
Simpson on the right is the massive
Mount McNeill, 4.500 feet high. Our
course through Chatham sound Is
charming; no fog. no rain to obstruct
our extended vision. On the left are
the three Dundos islands, with their
snow-capped peaks, while on the right
Is the famed Chim-sy-an, or Tslmpsean
peninsula, thirty-two miles long, and
connected with the mainland by a nar
row strip hardly a mile wide. On this
peninsula is Old Metlakatla and Fort
Simpson. Probably thus far on our
trip no spot has excited so much Inter'
est, especially, among Christian travel
ers, as these are two famed places, the
scene of the early labors, successes and
struggles of William Duncan, the de
voted layman of the Church of Eng
land, which I will refer to In a later
paragraph. Fort Simpson is sixteen
miles north of Old Metlakatlah, an Im
portant post of the Hudson Bay com
pany In 1631, now an Indian village,
where the Queen will stop on our re
turn trip.
AN ATtCTlC'PROViNCE.
The first glimpse of Alaska Is Cape
Fox, on Tongue island, and Dixon en
trance IS the boundary line between
British Columbia and our polar prov
ince beyond, whose blue mountains we
gee in the distance. ' Tongue island is
the home of a tribe of' Indians, who
scarcely number three-score, a rem
nant of a once numerous and powerful
tribe. They occupy the site of old Fort
Tongas, which for eight years after
"Alaska was acquired by our govern
ment was the headquarters of a com
pany of United States troops, where
was a custom house, but both . have
been given up. on account of the exces
sive rainfall, which has reached here
to lt8 inches in a single year. We do
not land here, but a good view is af
forded from the deck of the vessel. Here
totem poles are numerous. A half
mile from the fort is their chief .village,
where twenty-four massive totem poles
guard the semi-circle of ruined lodges.

ENTER ALASKA.
We cross the boundaiy line in latl
tude 54 degrees and 40 minutes, and
enter Alaska at Dixon entrance, an arm
of the Pacific ooean, and in twenty
miles sight Mary's Island, our first
stopping place. Henceforth, our voy
age lies through the remarkable
"Alexandria Archipelago." which is
over WO miles from south to north and
75 miles from east to west, among a be
wildering collection of mountain-studded
rocks, straits. Inlets and passages,
extending through nearly five degrees
of latitude and seven degrees of longi
tude as yet but partially explored.
Here are said to be thousands of
islands, densely covered with forests
and on each is seen a -vast fall of dead
timber Indicative of great age, besides
monarchs of fir, spruce and cedar and
hemlock of great height and circumfer
ence. All this In a wilderness almost
untouched by the pale face. Day after
day. from morn till night, the tourist's
eight is surfeited with an ever shifting
panorama of this rugged primitive
wilderness.
PORTLAND CANAL.
This much explored and surveyed,
discussed and disputed, boundary line
Ictv.een Alaska and British Columbia
is on our right and extends eastward
as the eastern limit sixty miles Into the
heart of the coast range. It is walled
In by mountains from 3.000 to 4.000 feet
high at its entrance, while those at the
east end are said to tower to twice that
eight. At the time of the Alaska pur
chase the surveyors named these
heights on our side. In honor of some
of the distinguished Americans then
living Seward, Adams.Reverdy, John
son, Halleck, Peabody while Lincoln's
name graces other peaks and ranges.
Leaving the picturesque Portland Inlet
on the right, our course Is northward
through Dixon Sound Into "Clarence
Strait," which is 107 miles long and no
where less than four miles In width.
Throughout tills strait we have the
great "Prince of Wales" Island on the
west. (The reader will unuersianu
while the name Is thoroughly English.
the island belongs to America.) The
southern portion of this noted Island Is
the home of the Hvdah Indian trioe.
noted for their marvelous skill In carv
ing. Their artistic skill Is best exem
plified In Its spoons, carved out of the
horn of the mountain goat, and mini
ature totems cut In dark slate stone:
also the unique "Hydah Indian Hat"
and "work baskets," delicately woven
from native bark of which we secured
tiMtirianme Rnectmenn.
In twenty miles after crossing tne
boundary and about 4 p. m: we sight the
White Government buildings on Mary
Island. The Queen blows a snrill
whistle and presently the stars and
stripes are hoisted on the United States
custom house staff, the steamer siacs,
ens her speed, and soon, drops her an
chor, while Captain Carroll Is taken
ashore In a row boat to execute sucn
papers as are necessary to comply with
the laws and enable the steamer to
proceed northward. Shortly the captain
returns with a deputy collector, who
boards the steamer, and makes the trip
to Sitka and return, whose business Is
to see that no whiskey or other contra
band goods are landed or taken on
board the vessel.
After a three-tlmes-three-cheers for
'Old Glory." the Queen swings on her
course oft the main route some fifteen
miles among the Gravina groupe of
Islands to "New Mettakahtla," which
lies quietly resting on a long pebbly
crescent-shaped beach on Annette Is
land. This colony was founded by the
Indefatigable missionary apostle, Wil
liam Duncan, in 1887. Here I muBt
pause to tell the wonderful story of
Metlakahtla. The work of raising a
race of Indians from cannibalism to a
high state of Christian civilization.
Were I to recount all the Incidents
have heard on this trip, relating to the
work of this good man, it would require
several columns, i will enaeavor, now
ever, to confine myself to a single con
(tensed paragraph.
WORK OF THE MISSIONARY.
Some thirty-eight years ago a young
Englishman by the name of William
Duncan, came from England as a lay
worker for the "Church Mission So
ciety," In response to Admiral Prevost's
account of the terrible condition of na
tlve life on this coast On his arrival
all the Hudson Bay company's officers
tried to dissuade him from going to
Fort Simpson, where from frequent acts
of barbarism the worst savages were
congregated. But this young mission
ary at the age of twenty-one. having
solemnly dedicated his life to the cause
of raising the Indian race from the
degradation of savagery to civilization
and Christianity without fear, cast his
lot in this hot bed of c annlbalism.
Within three years he had learned the
language and so thoroughly converted
fifty or these Indians that they fol
lowed him to an abandoned Tslmsian
settlement, Metlakatla, and established
a colony that In the words of Lord Duf
fernls, "a work that stands absolutely
without a parallel In the history of mis
sions." Taught by their devoted friend
they cleared, drained and cultivated the
land, learned to saw logs, build houses.

branch of business that would utilize
the products of the country. They built
a village or tiuy two-story cottages.
church edifice that would do credit to
many a larger white settlement,
school house, co-operative store and
cannery. They formed a village coun
ell of elders, a fire brigade, a brass
band; became carpenters, cabinet-makers,
shoe, cooper, tanning and rope
makers and the women were taught
weaving, sewing and cooking. It was
mouei coiony ana for twenty-four
years the peace and prosperity of 800
meiiaKatians were unuroKen.
But In 1881 Bishop Bldley, of the
Church of England, severely criticised
and objected to the form of the simple
n h.,i,l
rr"'a'
ana tne omission of the communion
service, and sent a representative
among them and insisted that that por
tion of the sacrament wherein wine Is
administered and which Mr. Duncan
nau, irom prudential reasons, ignored,
should be observed. Mr. Duncan gave
his reason for not carrying out this
Important tenet of the church, which
was that he had found his greatest
trouble In teaching natives to avoid
intoxicating drinks, and If he per
mitted wine at the sacrament his peo
ple would not understand whv thev
should not Indulge In liquor at other
limes.

air. uuncun convictions were so
strong tnat ne declared that If his plans
were interfered with he would rest
and remove his people, like pilgrims of
oia, to a country wnere they could ex
ercise religious liberty untrammeled.
Tne interference was persistent, the
cnurcn ruling was insistent, and Mr.
Duncan resigned his missiun. The re.
suit was that the bishop established
himself among them, but failed to win
the respect and confidence of the com
munity. "He quarreled with the head
men; ne strucK tnem with his fists; he
carried a rifle, and called for a man-oN
war to protect him." The people
wbsi-'u me Disnnp to go away and Mr.
uuncan to return. The church and
state upheld the bishop and claimed
the community property as church
property. Meantime Mr. Duncan vis
Ited Washington and exolalned the sit
uatlon to the president, told him of the
effort to supplant him with another
minister among the people to whom he
had devoted his life. He sought aid
and protection of our country for his
people, ms cause was powerfully

Henry Ward Beecher and Phillips

Receiving assurances that our govern
ment would offer an asylum to his
people where they could enjoy religious
freedom, and that, action would be
taken by congress looking to their nro
tectlon, Mr. Duncan returned to -Metlakatla
and proposed emigration to the
Unltod States side (Alaska). Accord

In plain sight of passing vessels and an
object of great Interest to the tourist.
THEIR NEW HOME.
Their new home, though won after
much tribulation, is Just as good, clean
and delightful as a New England town.
On August 7. 1887. Mr. Duncan planned
dedicatory service. The new cnurcn
bell was tolled, the Indians and the
officers and passengers grouped togeth
er. Prayers were offered, psalms or
thanksgiving were chanted by all the
natives in their own tongue. Spiritual
sorgs were sung by the passengers.
Breeches u"f congratulation as well as
of protection were offered by the Invit
ed guests and in the presence of United
Mutes Commissioner Dawson the cap
tain and sixty passengers of the steam
er Ancon. a gun salute was fired and
the Stars and Strlnes were unfurled
with the promised protection of our free
American government. The old totem
poles were destroyed (suve two given
to the Hike Museum), the town was
apportioned Into town lots and the
New Metlakatlahans began anew,
building their present attractive vil
lage, which Is suld by all to be a mar
vel. ' 1 regard It as a great pleasure
and high honor to land here, und to
gether with our distinguished vice pres
ident and other passengers to grasp the
hand of the veteran Apostle, and learn
from his lips of the wonderful progress
In civilization made by this people. . It
was an unexpected pleasure to be es
corted by him through his cannery.
where were laying In trenches hundreds
and perhaps a thousand of fresh caught
salmon, weighing from four to twenty
pounds each, and watch that process of
canning by these people formerly a
race of savages, but now Christian
neighbors. Rev. Mr. Meyers tells of
two row-boats thatAad Just arrived by
the wharf with a day's haul of over
2,000 salmon of twelve to thirty pounds
each, and thrown on the landing like
so many blocks of wood. One of the
Indians tallies on the slate and a round
1160 Is credited to the two craft for
the day's toll. I never saw BUch a pile
of fish. Their process of canning sal
mon Is Interesting-as well as skillful.
For short, they are scraped and
cleaned, cut Into small strips or bltsT
cleansed, then put Into pint and quart
tin cans, set on iron crates, wheeled
Into boiler steamers, taken out, sealed
and labeled with a rapidity simply
astonishing. The daily output of this
cannery is 800 cans, which are sent into
the markets of the world. These In
