tially blinded from; the ashes,
there was no one hurt. There are
provisions enough on the island
to last at least one month, but
these provisions qre owned by
Fletcher and Erskine. The wa
ter supply is scarce, but the
Manning can distil enough for
immediate use, until some dis
position ij? made of the natives,
which, I believe, will have to be
done, as owing to the ash cov
ering the ground, and which no
doubt will kill vegetation, it will
be some time before the island
will be flt for permanent habita
tion, or at least that part of the
island in the immediate vicinity
of Kodiak. All the natives and
whites were taken aboard the
Manning before the morning of
the 7th. There were two native
children born on board the cut
ter during the excitement.
"As to moving the natives, I
beg to suggest that in case it is
decided to move them, that the
head of Kachemak bay be inves
tigated, as I think that this will
be found to be one of the best
places to put them, as at this
place there is plenty of moose,
sheep, shore birds, waterfowl and
fish, and there are several can
neries on Cook inlet where they
can be employed, and further
this part of the peninsula is one
of the few parts that have not
la-en trapped nut, and still shows
signs of plenty <>f fur-bearing
animals, particularly niarleii,
mink and lynx.
"While I hen* lias been n»» de
I'inite or reliable news from
! Wood or Raspberry island*, it is
a well known fart that there are
several ranchers on these islands,
who are raising horses, eat He,
sheep and hogs, and considering

ern end of the Kodiak island, and
from all reports there has been
ImiI little if any fall of ashes

is still i*iiiiiiiiik. although there
is some fear expressed as I <» I In*
fall of ashes in the affecting of
I In* run of llsh temporarily, while
others seem to think that it will
afTect the run of ti«h at. these
places permanently. I have us
surancees that there is no suf
fering among the inhahilanls of
these lowns. The towns along
the east coast of the Alaska pen
insula have not been heard from
in any way, and judging:* from
the direction of the wind al I he
lime of the blow-out, it is feared
that some of them may be bur
ied in ashes, particularly those
towns lying1 north of Cold Hay and
south of Illiamna Bay. The vil
lage of Illiamna is no doubt safe,
as it lies 12 miles from the coast
arid about 25 miles from the vol
cano. The village of Cold Day
lies on the coast, and about 20
miles from the volcano. Other
villages along the coast lie be
tween the aforesaid places and
were directly in line of the ashes.
There is no doubt but that Afo«
nak got a little more of the ash
es than Kodiak did, and it has
been reported that they are short
of provisions.
"FloKarding the gam<* animals
and bfrds in tho danger-zono, the
b'ear on Kodiak island will prob
ably suffer, and probably have
become oxlinet, or nearly so, bul
(if I may say it) I do not believe
that this will hurt the feelings
of I ho inhabitants of lhal place.
Tho shore bird*, which have al
ways been plentiful, will, no
doubt, be almost exterminated.
The deer which were placed on
Raspberry island will, I believe,
not pull through, owing to the
condition of tho vegetation. Tho
moose, caribou and other animals
ori lh«> mainland of the Alaska
[peninsula, will, no doubt, suffer
lo some extent, but will be able
to go further inland and there
by escape the sulphuric fumes
and And plenty ' of feed. The
shore birds and waterfowl on the
mainland will, no doubt, be able
to take care of themselves."
