ATMOSPHERE 289 



There is reported to be usually more fog along the 

 Alaska coast, and especially later in the season, than we 

 found during the months of our cruise. But, during that 

 June and July, the aspect of the sky, the sharpness of the 

 views and the other phenomena incident to the character 

 of the air contributed greatly to the pleasure of the trip. 

 It was a phase of Nature so unlike what we have at home 

 that it cannot be forgotten.
