Two days later we entered Port Nell Juan and made a day’s 
stop on the south shore a few miles from the entrance. The 
tides were so strong that two days were required to reach the 
head of the inlet. The gray-green glacier water of the inlet 
gave no indication of the water’s depth and wlten we attempted 
to anchor close inshore our twelve-fathom rope was found in- 
sufficient. This inlet is deep up to the very head, where it 
suddenly shallows close in to the tide-flats. A small gravel bar 
at the base of a cliff on the north shore furnished us with a 
scanty camp ground. A week was spent at this camp. On 
August 21 we began the voyage down the inlet, reaching Grafton 
Island on the evening of the 22nd. A few hours were spent on 
the island collecting. 
Early the next morning we were on our way to Drier Bay, 
Knight Island. We arrived at the mouth at noon, and by 
sundown we were anchored near the head at the mouth of a 
small stream. Camp was pitched on the gravel bar at the mouth 
of this creek. 
On August 29 we sailed out of Drier Bay for Chenega Island. 
The party was now reduced to two, Miss Alexander and Dixon 
having departed a few days previously for California, via 
Valdez. Chenega was reached late in the afternoon and an 
anchorage made at the north end in a small bay. 
At noon on September 1 we set sail for the small group of 
islands north of Knight Island. Dise Island, or rather the 
passage between this island and Eleanor, was reached on Sep- 
tember 3. Here we anchored in a nook on the Dise Island side. 
Collecting operations were carried on, both on Dise Island and 
on Eleanor, from this anchorage. 
On the 6th we set out for Naked Island, making an anchorage 
on the south shore at the head of a small cove. Two days were 
spent here and then we proceeded to Storey Island, where a 
day was spent on the abandoned fox farm. On the 9th we 
reached Ellamar. The 12th found us making our way up Valdez 
Inlet. On the morning of the second day we worked our way 
through the Narrows and made camp in Shoop Bay on the west 
side of the inlet, a few miles above the Narrows. 
On September 17 we left Shoop Bay heading toward Valdez.
