A HUNTER'S CAMP-FIRES 



Pacific steamer Princess Royal for Vancouver. The steamer 

 was so crowded with returning miners and prospectors that 

 there were three "tables," or turns, for each meal. There were 

 four men to each small state-room, with many sleeping in the 

 saloons, and a great scarcity of food and beverages developed 

 toward the end of the voyage. After the last sitting at dinner, 

 which ended about ten o'clock, the Dawson City Orchestra got 

 down to its shirt-sleeves and dispelled the gloom of the con- 

 tinuous rain. We steamed away from Wrangel at six o'clock 

 on the evening of October 17th, and arrived at Vancouver about 

 noon October 20th. Then four days' travel across the con- 

 tinent via the Northern Pacific Railroad terminated this most 

 enjoyable and successful trip to the Cassiar Mountains.
