The journey, exclusive of the time spent at Nowikakat andKamensikhter, had occupied less than twenty-seven days, andthe distance travelled we estimated as about six hundred andthirty miles. In a straight line the distance from Nulato to FortYukon is over four hundred and eighty miles. We were much elated at the successful issue of our journey,and I confess to having felt a pardonable pride in being the firstAmerican to reach Fort Yukon from the sea. This trading-post was founded by McMurray in the season of1846-47, and the original fort was a mile or more farther up theriver. The present fort was commenced in 1864, and at thetime of our visit needed only the erection of a stockade to com-plete it. The cause of the change of location was the undermin-ing and washing away by the river of the steep bank on whichthe old fort was built. At this period, the old houses had beenremoved, and some of the remaining foundation-timbers projectedfar over the water.</i><br><b>Text Appearing After Image:</b><br><i>THE YUKON TERRITORY. I03 The present buildings consist of a large house, containing sixrooms, for the commander ; a block of three houses, of one roomeach, for the workmen ; a large storehouse ; a kitchen ; and fourblock-houses, or bastions pierced for musketry, at the corners ofthe proposed stockade. Outside of the fort is a small house oftwo rooms, belonging to Antoine Houle the interpreter. All the houses were strongly built, roofed with sheets of sprucebark pinned and fastened down by long poles. The sides wereplastered with a white mortar made from shell-marl, obtainable inthe vicinity. Most of the windows were of parchment, but thoseof the commanders house were of glass. The latter was providedwith good plank floors, and the doors and sashes were paintedred with ochre. The yard was free from dirt, and the houses,with their white walls and red trimmings, made a very favorablecomparison with any of those in the Russian posts. The fort is situated about two hundred miles from La Pi</i><br><br><b>Note About Images</b><br></p>
