Bill Nye in Disguise Reaches Ft. Gibbon,
On the Lower Yukon, and Tells His
Experiences On the Trip Up North
All Who Have Made the Trip Into
the Interior of Alaska Via Bering Sea
and Up the River, Will be Able to
Appreciate the Soldier's Humor.
! Fairbanks Times: In a recent
I mail from Port Gibbon, a letter was
received irom a soldier, who arriv
ed there last summer, having made
; the trip by way of St. Michael. His
description of the trip will be es
pecially interesting to those who
have ever traveled on the lower
river.
Tho letter in part is as follows:
"Anent tho trip from Seattle to
Fort Gibbon, let us say that the first
ieg, 1. e., Seattle to St. Michael,
was a long, tedious exemplification
of how NOT to run a steamboat.
The Victoria, on which we took
passage, was named after the late
lamented Queen of England, having
been built In tie same year in
which sho was born; also having
teen a dead one about the same
length of time. For her navigators
I can sa^ that they were wonders.
I They could spy a trough of the sea
fwenty miles away, and so manipu- '
lato the ship that, by the time It
would strike us \ve would be broad
side, thus necessitating a header to
port or starboard, according to
which side one happened to be on
when sho struck. Several passen
gers made spiral glides across her,
to the amusement of those of us
who happened to be anchored firmly
to something substantial, but to the
disadvantage of the performer. The
wonder of it all was that more were
not injured. Finally, after ten days,
we steamed slowly into Nome har
bor, Did we unload? We did not.
We put in the rest of that day and
the night following in cruising
around Bering sea for fear we
might drag our anchors up the siae
of Mt» McKinley. The nest day was
the same, also the next night. But
after a while our Irish captain de-1
citled to go ashore himself, so they;
put off the passengers and other
Impedimenta and we sailed, after
Seal's and years of waiting, for St.
Michael. From a distance of ten
miles at sea, St. Michael is a beau
tiful Ilttl>» haven. The buildings are
painted. white, and it seems that
from every gable a flag is flying,
X said from ten miles at sea. After ■
one has disembarked at the long
tailor-made dock, and wound his
devious way up through the home
spun buildings to the crest of the
hill, one is prone to change bis
mind. The sainted Mike must have
been a whale of a prevaricator, for
about all there is at St, Michael is
wind—wind and dogs. There were
times during our five dayB' stay
at Mike's when we couldn't hear the
wind on account of the dogs, also
times "When we couldn't hear the
dogs on account of the wind; but
never when one or both was not
with us. At St. Michael I discov
ered the. first peculiarity of the
native dog. I discovered that the
finer house you build for them the
more time they spend on the roof,
howling. Since I have been here,
where I have been thrown more or
less with the dogs, as it were, I
have learned many tricks of which
Jack London is entirely ignorant. I
have sosn several dogs hitched up
and starred out on short jaunts about
the town, either for exercise or the
more utilitarian purposes of draw
ing water or wood, and I have be- J
come firmly convinced that, after
many years of oatient endeavor, the I
dog-musher of Alaska has arriv
at a point where one word from
him will make the native dog do
just as he d—d pleases; , the dog I
mean. In passing I will say that
these dogs are the first and only
animals that I have ever seen which
can climb an iron telegraph-pole
successfully. So, after I have been
