ALASKA INDUSTRIES. 655 



July 24, 1894.— South wind with rain. The Bear arrives from Cape 

 Serdze, Siberia, with 38 deer — 11 males and 27 females. 



July 25, 1894. — South wiud and heavy surf. Two deer ran away 

 when turned loose after landing; the boat capsized in the surf. The 

 last load was landed at the mouth of the lagoon to escape the surf. 

 Our whaleboat lands 60 bags of flour, 5 boxes bread, beans, and 

 molasses. Mrs. Healy and Mr. Liebes come ashore. Kill a female deer 

 that had a leg broken in landing. 



July 26, 1894. — Northwest wind. On invitation from Dr. Jackson, 

 I accompanied him up the lakes in the Bear's steam launch, which 

 Captain Healy placed at our disposal ; we returned about 5.30, and 

 after taking dinner with Captain Healy, came ashore. A male and 

 female deer which were crippled on ship or in landing, had to be killed. 

 Mr. Grubin and the herders milked two quarts of milk from six deer, 

 two bottles of which were sent to Captain Healy and officers on the 

 Bear. 



July 27, 1894. — South wind. Went aboard the Bear in the forenoon; 

 she weighs anchor and leaves for the Arctic. 



July 28, 1894. — Northwest wind. We go in small boat up the lagoon 

 to a river and give our babes an outing. 



July 29, 1894. — South wind. The 2 deer which ran off a few days 

 ago returned. While holding our Sunday service a ship was announced 

 as anchoring at Point Spencer. 



July 30, 1894. — South wind. The brig Meyer came over from Point 

 Spencer in the afternoon and anchored off shore. Mr. Wm. A. Kjell- 

 mann, the new superintendent, wife and daughter, Eev. T. L. Brevig 

 and wife, and Mr. and Mrs. V. C. Gamble, who are to teach at St. 

 Lawrence Island, came on shore in the evening and inspected the 

 station and herd. 



July 31, 1894. — The Meyer beat up closer to shore and employed 

 natives to help discharge the vessel. The Lapps and their baggage 

 were sent on shore. An Eskimo remarked when he first saw the 

 Lapps: "Well, well! these are the jjeople we have seen on our playing 

 cards for all these years." We saw the Lapps milk deer; after lasso- 

 ing, they make a halter-bke noose with which one holds the deer while 

 another milks. 



August 1, 1894. — Calm, with south wind. Mr. and Mrs. Lopp move 

 into the herders' house and the Kjellmanns into the west end. The 

 Brevigs move into the east end of the frame house. The work of 

 discharging the vessel progresses very slowly. During the night the 

 station dogs broke into the dugout and killed the old goat of the 

 Kjellmanns, and during the day they killed one of the kids. 



August 2, 1894. — Calm, with rain. The Cape Prince of Wales sup- 

 plies were landed and put under the canoes. 



August 3, 1894. — Calm, but rainy. Two Lapps go back into the hills 

 to get acquainted with the locality. The flour and bread is landed 

 from the vessel.
