Next morning there was still a distance of 64 miles before we could reach Dawson, but when we were about 15 n ilea from Daw son, our scows caught fast on a sand-bar about four o'clock in the afternoon. We investigated to see how we could get ot! hut it was of no use, for the scows had so much ice on the bottom that they were completely frozen up. After we completed our contract with the company, we were still (lye miles from Dawson. We traded the Indians out of a good sled, so we could sled our blankets to the place where we wanted to hold forth. Frits, Jim and 1 had about 350 pounds a’l told. We had to pack our outfit across the river, a distance of a mile and a half. The ice was very rough, sometimes you wouhi fall into a hole four or five feet deep, and it was very dangerous, especially if you had your pack strapped on. After we landed on the other side, we left the old scows in the distance. We were four hours getting our baggage to town, and it is quite a city. It has a population of about8000 and is built along the Yukon river, rather a poor place for such a <ity. They have some very tine stores here. You wonI<1 be surprised to see the amount of g^d* they carry.
