THE FINEST GLACIER.
Our steamer stops a while In front of
this magniticent glacier. It Is revealed
to us p a body of Ice as graceful In
form as the famous "Muir Ulacler" is
colossal In stature. We pass it and re
pass It. but the lluest view of the glacier
Is from the steamer directly abreast it.
It looks l!keva mighty winding river
weeping down from the White Moun
tains and pouring its mighty torrent.
Into the sea, where It is suddenly con
gealed and becomes a large field of Ice.
It Is a spur of the grea t series of glaciers
that form the "frigid bulwark of Ice"
that surrounds Glacier Hay. It is named
for Professor U corse Davidson, the
astronomer, who explored Us lower
slopes in 1867. It was further explored
by Captain Carroll in IMS.
(. As we sail In front, a moraine Is dls-
' tlnctly seen, which runs far out Into
the channel (Lynn). Here is a forest
of low willow and alder trees, which
have sprung up on this terminal mo
raine, a half mile wide. This moraine Is
distinctly seen, chanelfed with streams,
and is swampy throughout. At the
buae g a chaotic muss of grimy blocks
of ice. Between the crevacess to the
. line of 'tho mountain gateway the ice
level ii found by Professor Davidson
and othor.explorers, to be 645 feet above
the fhfennel. It Is more dlmcnlt of as
cent than the "Mulr." but tourists who
wait over a steamer can be taken by
launches from the canneries to where
a tolerably dry path leading to the Ice
formation has been found. The lower
slopes of the glacier Is screened by the
dense growth of trees. Above these
trees this sea of ice spreads out through
a rocky gorge, thousands of feet high.
expanding like a fan to the breadth of
threp, miles. In fact. In almost eVery
ravine there Is a glacier and tho Artie
appearance becomes very marked, nl
though the t.hermometor only stands
at 48 degrees, and we are within fortv
miles or six degrees of the Arctic circle.
The veteran traveler. Rev. Dr. H. M.
Field, of the New York Evangelist, who
made the trip In 1894. writes: "The day
after we left Juneau, we steamed into
the Bay of Chllcat, where two Inlets
lead up Into the main land around
which circle the mountains and the for
ests in whose dark bosoms are counted
no less than nineteen glaciers. But I
had eyes only for one, the Davidson,
which If I were to distinguish It from
other glaciers, I, should say . was more
beautiful than terrible, as' It descends
by a gentle' slope front the mountain
Height, spreading out Its fan-like bord
era till it is three miles wide at the
shore, - where it dips Its cold feet in
the sea.
ANOTHER SETTLEMENT.
A few miles beyond this glacier the
Treat flora becomes too narrow and
shoal for steamers, and with a tantalis
ing peep of lofty-mountains, eaos and
over-lapping spurs, we sweep in shore
unuer the, shadow of Mount Labouch

and cannery of Pyramid Harbor, which
Is found an Interesting piece of moun

ful nf the Pnlllsailes and the Hudson
river near West Point, although few of
the peaks are less than three-fourma
of a mile high vertically. Here is a
mountain of glittering Ice whic h seems
to project in nlr and overhang Its base.
Here Is a cannery and trading station,
established in 188:.'. Adjoining the can
nery Is a large camp of Chllcat Indiana
noted for their skill In weaving dancing
blankets, engraving spoons and furn
ishing native curios for tourists. Right
here wild roses, and Iris, and all Al
pine flowers attain wonderful size and
brilliancy of color. Wild strawberries,
salmon berries and thimble berries are
found on the flats in superabundance.
Off Pyramid Harbor Is "Observatory
Island," the United States astronomic
al station. Its position is 69 degrees, 10
minutes and :t6 seconds north, and 1.16
degrees, 26 minutes west, and Is to the
tourist the furthermost northern point
where he exposes "Lundelln's" photo
graphic plates and reads fine print at
midnight in July, as was our experience
on this, the luth day of August, 1895.
We write on deck with ease at 10.45 p.
m. and from that time until daybreak,
at 2.::o a. m., the night, if It may be bo
called, Is a shadowy twilight. The
summer days in these latitudes are
notably long, there being only two or
three hous of appreciable darkness,
CHILCAT.
Just on the opposite side of the In
let Is "Chllcat. The inlets of both Chll
cat and Chilkoot are barren and grim
with the wind blowing cold from fields
of Ice and nineteen cataracts from
among the Icy fastenesses. This Is
called the "Greenland Icy Mountain
latitude." Chllcat Is an Indian village
and trading, station,, the tribe number
ing about 800. Here" Is one of the larg
est canneries in Alaska. Here is where
the King salmon, the red salmon, are
caught'tn great quantities by both In
dians,. Chinese and whites. Large
stories are told of the Immense fish
caught here and on the Yukon. Official
reports state that King salmon are
found five" and six feet long and weigh
ing as much as 120 pounds.
A trail a mile and a half through
miry woods' extends to another Presby
terian mission called "Haines" on the
Chilkoot inlet, under the supervision of
Rev. W. W. Warne and assistants,
Misses Fannie H. Wlllard and Annie
M." Sheets. From Chllcat the Yukon
gold seekers find an easy route to the
Yukon mines, viz. They ranoe twen
ty-six mile In "Haleys" to the end of
the "Talya Inlet." ascend the summit
of the pass to 4,100 feet above the sea
over the continental range and drop
down to Lake Lindermann, in all, twen-
three miles, where there is a continu
ous channel of lakes and rivers for 623
miles to the. "Forty-mile" trading sta
tion on the famous Yukon river.
ALASKA'S CROWNING GLORY.
We have now reached the northern
point of our voyage at Chllcat, and
must retrace our course some sixty
miles to "Icy Strait," and thence north
westward llfty-tlve miles to Cross
Sound and Into Glacier Bay to reach
the crowning glory of this veritable
wonderland "Mulr Glacier" which we
have traveled over 5.000 miles across
the American continent to see.

(Signed) ;. James Carroll,
Commander,
After a four hours' rest we are again
on deck at B. o'clock. This Is a brilliant
morning, the air keen and sharp, the
thermometer at 30 degrees as our
steamer sails up "Icy Straits" into
uiacier Bay.
This bay ts an Indentation which ex-
ieiiun imny mues nortnwara witn a
breadth of from eight to twelve miles
at point Carolus. Its entrance, narrow.
Ing down to three miles at the upper
enu, wnere seven enormous glaciers
uescena to us waters.
..The peninsula Inclosed by Glacier
Bay, Cross Sound and the Pacific ocean
is from thirty to forty miles wide and
contains numerous lofty mountains,
timing them Mount Crllllon, 15,900
tag; Faira-eather, 16,600 feet; L te-
rouse, 11.304 feet; Lituya. 10.000 feet;
D-Agelet, 0.0M feet high above the
noble Pacific. These form the southern
extremity of the Mount St. Kllas Alps."
All these noble summits are seen from
the deck of our steamer on our left as
we ascend Glacier Bay. together with
picturesque "White Mountains." which
line the east side between Glacier Bay
and Lynn canal; but Mr. St. Ellas It

reaching to the very battlements of
heaven. The horlxon seems so full of
them that , there Is no counting them
any more than counting the Icebergs in
the bay This Is a sight too grand to
seem a reality; it's enough to take one's
breath away as the view widens. It
only lasts for a glorious half hour, and
then by a turn and the jutting out of a
great promontory they are mainly lost
to view.
A WALL OF ICE.
Vp to 1869 no civilized person knew
anything of this Glacier Hay. though
Vancouver found a wall of Ice extend
ing across Its mouth 100 years ago. It
was not till 1877 that Lieutenant C. K.
S. Wood entered the bay In his canoe.
but the glaciers were not made known
to the world until Professor John Mulr
and Kev. S. Hall Young, the Presbyter
ian missionary at Fort Wrangel, ex
plored it in 1879. Captain Beardslee,
I'nited Stutes navy, accompanied by
Cozian, the famous Russian pilot
though lie had never heard of the bay
before made an exploration in 1SS0
and traced a chart that he gave to our
Captuln Carroll, of the Queen, who
took the mall steamer Idaho up the
bay in July, 18&i, found the great glacier
described by Profesor John Mulr, and
named for him both the glucler and the
inlet. In August, 1892. Captain Carroll
himself took the Queen and entered
this bay again and made Important dis
coveries, among them the Pacific cia
tier, the John Hopkins. Rendu and Cur-
roll glaciers, us named by Professor
Reld.
Near the mouth of the bay is a group
of eight low iBlands named for Com
mander Beardslee, a mass of loose ma
terial, evidently glacial debris. Near
the middle of the buy Is a bare rock,
a mass of limestone, about three miles
long und 1,1.00 feet high and a half
mile wide. Bhowlng glacial furrows and
polished from the bottom to the top.
As we proceed the dense forests which
look down upon us from both sides,
bucked by the Majestic mountains, fade
away and vegetation ceases and we sail
through Innumerable Icebergs to the
end of the bay (Mulr Inlet) which Is so
blocked that the prows of the steamers
are protected with heavy timbers to
save the strain and shock caused by the
crashing of the vessel Into the bergs
and floating "mush Ice." Canoes rarely
enter here. It is difficult to convey by
words any appreciable or intelligent
idea of the scene through which we are
passing. Nor can I do so fully by the
aid of my right hund friend, the "Lun
dellus Camera." I can only say that
the bay was full of Ice floss of all im
aginable shapes and sizes; some con
tained deep caverns with statactlte
roofs, many honey-combed through and
through like white coral: some assume
the form of ships, churches, castles, In
dian tents, not fantastic creations, but
so marked as to attract the attention
and comments of the passengers. But
the most remarkable was the coloring,
that exquisite blue of which the tur
quoise 1b the nearest specimen, spotted
here and there and sometimes covered
with crystals of snow. An occasional
squadron of these "floating pyramids,"
with their white sides and uniform
shape bring vividly to mind the regatta
scenes of New London and Newport,
even one white squadron of war-vessels
as they lay at anchor in Newport har
bor. THE MUIR GLACIER.
We are now at the mouth of "Muir
Inlet" and the great glacier, the
"World's Wonder" spreads out before
us. Here is a sight bo grandly impres
sive that the human voice is awed to
sllen.ee, but we can imagine we hear
inaudible tones, the voice of the great
Creator, saying: "All the kingdoms of
the earth are mine," "Be still and know
that I am God," "I, the Lord, formed all
these things."
This Is the great "Mulr Glacier " A
i wall of ice a mile wide, 300 feet high
and Ave times that beneath the water.
Millions of spires crown its height, all
tinted from snowy white to the deepest
Indigo. As we peer with strained eyes
Into these caverns of deepest sap
phire, surmounted by glistening pin
nacles of transparent blue, some huge
mass, may be an acre In size, topples
and falls Into the bay with a deep
thundering noise, like cracking of ar
tillery or the boom of cannon. A cloud
of foam arises, and the sea Is stirred
to a fury, the great waves dashing far
up on to the beach, even rocking our
steamer as though It were a sail boat,
which Is anchored a half mile from it.
Soon we hear another almost deafening
report, then a succession of them that
resemble the discharge of heavy guns
or the reverbrations of thunder, but no
outward effect Is seen. This is the
breaking apart of great masses of ice
within the glacier. Presently another
huge pinnacle topples over with a roar
and glantlc splash that is heard and
felt for mileB with a tremendous up
heaving of the water and Is lost for a
minute in the sea, rises ugain and bobs
about In dangerous fashion, throwing
aloft clouds of spray, turning somer
saults, swaying to and fro until It finds
Its equilibrium and floats with the cur-
ent to the sea. There Is scarcely an
interval of ten minutes in the day or
mgnt witnout some exhibition or this
kind. In order to get something of an
idea of the collossal proportions of the
scene I am endeavoring to describe, let
tne reader imagine the capitol at Wash
ington, the city hall in Philadelphia.
the Cathedral, Equitable, Mills und the
sky-piercing newspaper buildings
around City Hall square, New York,
floating In front of Mulr glacier, and
still Its emerald walls and pinnacles
would overtop und engulf them all. it
Is Impossible to conceive the effect of
such a stupendous mass without be
holding It. The actual Ice surface Is
over 250 square miles, the mass of It 35
miles long und 10 to 15 miles wide, lying
hut a few hundred feet above sea level.
It Is fed by tweny-six tributary ice
streams, seven of which are a mile in
width, these being fed by smaller
streams. This vast ice plain slopes
back at a grade of 100 feet to the mile
to the mountains, thirteen miles dis
tant from the inlet. The Muir Inlet Is
five miles long and from one mile and
three-quarters, to three miles wide and
stretches due north and south. The
latitude of the glucler is 58 degrees and
50 minutes north, and 136 degrees and 5
minutes west, and drains an area of 800
square miles.
THE MOUNTAIN GATEWAY.
The mountain gateway, through
which It pours Into the sea, Is two and
one-half miles wide, formed by spurs
of Mt. Case on the right, 5.510 feet high,
and Mt. Weight on the left, 4,944 high,
besides Pyramid peak. The glacier Is
surrounded by huge mountains, broad
at the base and broken at their sum
mits, varying from 4,000 to 6.000 feet In
height. The main stream rises forty
miles back and comes through her great
Ice plain at the rate of eight to ten
feet per day. It ts magnificently crev
assed and broken and all efforts to
cross It ten miles back from the water
front have failed, 'bur vessel do not
approach the ice wall In front nearer
than an eighth of a mile, because of the
masses of falling ice and submarine
bergs which rise to the surface with
tremendous force and would founder
any vessel within Its reach. Surround
ings of 120 fathoms have been made
within a hundred yards of the ice-wall.
The tide fall Is fifteen feet In the bay.
Captain Carroll says bergs 200 feet in
length, fifty to seventy high, are often
seen near the front, but break apart
and grind together as they sail down
the bay. Steamers usually remain six
to eight hours taking advantage of the
tide in entennr ana leaving the bay

era in hand, we are landed in small
boats on the Moraine slopes to roam
the shore and go forth in groups to
explore the glacier. It Is an easy walk
up the beach to the base of the Ice
cliffs. A well-built trail and board
walk lead over the bluff and the quick
sands of glacial mud in the moraine to
the summit of the Ice glacter which Is
an Immense rolling white prairie over
which a regiment of cavalry might de
ploy, and where future tourists will
travel on sleds, or even horses. There
Is really no danger to require the lce
ax. rope, creepers, or extraordinary cos
tumes, unless the tourist goes out of his
way and seeks them in the crevassed
regions. Rubber shoes and mackin
toshes are a necessity, though quickly
cut by the sharp ice-crystals. Leading
out from the moraine is what Is called
the "Dirt Glacier" which Is a treacher
ous place, full of sink-holes and quick
sands of glacier mud. where boulders
reel and sink beneath. This line "min
eral paste and mountain meal" make a
sticky, slippery compound that hardens
like cement; the incautious, like the
writer, got caught und drenched knee
deep twice in our days roaming. I
should suy the walk to the top of "Muir"
is three miles from where the row
boats land, this Is. over rocks, gravel
and sand of the lateral moraine. At
one place an Ice bridge Is crossed that
spans the river beneath, the roar of
whose waters among the Ice masses be
low Is distinctly heard. The summit of
the glacier Is furrowed with crevices.
Some have perpendicular walls of pure
Ice many hundreds of feet deep.
INTO CAVES OF ICE.
We entered some of these mysterious
Ice caves piloted by the first officer of
our steamer, first through a sandy mor
aine, then into a crevasse of solid ice,
which led Into yawning chasms of in
terminable depths. We gazed Into the
very heart and recess of the canyons,
suw.new depths, und shades, and tones
of blue, and learned or colors, the ex
Istence of which the Imagination could
not before have dreamed. We saw the
great subterranean rivers and heard
such rumblings, such peals, snaps and
crashes within this ice realm, as to Im
press and overawe us. Words can
scarcely describe the awful grandeur
of this great glacier whether viewed
from the deck of our steamer, or cloBe
to the front which extends for tv
miles across and towers from 250 to 800
feet high, or while walking on Its very
summit among thousands of seams and
crevasses which descend Into these un
known depths. No camera, no pencil,
no vocabulary can do more than produce
a desire to Bee for one s seir. The Taka.
Norrls and Davidson glaciers are each
wonderful, but Mulr is the grandest of
all these great Ice rivers that move with
so majestic a step, sweeping down re
lentlessly all obstacles in their broad
paths.
The disintegration of these Immense
masses, some of them weighing thou
sands of tons, suggests the question.
How last does the glacier move for
ward? Accurate measurement shows
that the glacier, like the river, is al
ways in motion. By photographic evi
dence the glacier recorded one thousand
yards in four years. Prof. Wright, of
Oberlln, who encamped here, fixed Its
advance at seventy feet In the center
and ten feet ut the sides, an average of
forty feet perday. Prof. Reld. who took
dally observations for a long time,
places the number at seven, eight and
ten feet per day. Prof. Muir recognizes
a retreat of a mile between his visits of
1889 and 1890. Prof. Wright estimates
"that a stream of ice presenting a cross
section of about live million square feet
mat is &,uuo reet wide by 1.000 feet
deep Is entering or falling Into Glacier
Bay at an average,rato of forty feet per
day. This wouldtglve about 200.000,000
feet of ice per day falling off during the
warmest mourns or the year.
WHAT VISITORS SAY.
The above three men, together with
Prof. Davidson, are credited with the
great bulk of recent reliable Informa
tion we have of this region. One says
"The Mer de Glace In Switzerland which
washes the feet of Mont Blanc, Is but a
dwarf In size, compared with the Mulr."
Dr. J. M. Buckkley says: "As the
Mulr Glacier is the grandest that the
tourist sees, fur surpassing anythink
which the Alps, the mountains of Nor
way, or the Himalayas can exhibit, II
may interest the reader to know some
thing more of the number and size of
those contained In our Alaska territory.
The entire front of the coast chain of
mountains that forms our eastern Alas
kan boundary, from Mount Saint Elian
to the mouth of the Portland Canal,
contains over five thousand living gla
ciers of greater or less degree, which ,re
forever traveling to the sea. Mulr and
Davidson nre but parts of one great Ice
field 'which, set down In Europe, would
cover the whole Swiss Republic' "
Kate Field says of the Mulr glacier:
"Imagine Niagara Falls frozen a solid
wall of Ice, 300 feet high, moving to
ward the ocean, and a similar wall six
or seven hundred feet under water, and
the whole mass cracking and giving
forth peals of thunder that rival the
heavenly artillery,' and every few mo
ments thousands of tons of lovely blue
Ice crashing Into the sea and starting
on a voyage as Icebergs a peril to the
Arctic voyager and you will have some
slight conception of this imposing spec
tacle." Dr. H. M. Field says: "To see the
Mulr Glacier Is an event In one's life.
like seeing Saint Peter's at Rome, or the
Taj In India. It is a sight which docs
not fade In the distance. Go where toe
may, still is he
" 'By the vision splendid
" 'On his way attended,"
till his eyes close oh all things rarthly,
and open on the purer light of heaven."
