tion through a heavily wooded country, and is about a mile long, with a width at the 
head of 30 feet, depth 1 foot, and a very strong current. Commencing at the lake, 
from which the head of the stream is screened by a small wooded islet, it flows over 
a bowlder bed through a deep ravine for one-half mile, when the water disappears in 
the face of a rock mass about 60 feet high, which appears to be thrown across the 
gulch. Three hundred yards beyond the water reappears and flows through a chasm 
for an equal distance, after which it is again lost in a subterranean channel for another 
300 yards. At the point where it again emerges the channel is choked by massive 
bowlders, and on the adjoining bank were found a number of the slat frames commonly 
used for barricading. From here the stream flows with a sluggish current for 100 
yards through a deep cut having nearly perpendicular rock walls, and then for 50 
yards under a tine arch rock, the top of which is about 4 feet above the highest tides; 
50 yards beyond it enters the bay. Temperature of water June 19, 17° F. 
The lake is 35 feet above tide water. It is round in shape, about 1^ miles long 
by 1 mile wide, and lying in a heavily wooded basin, having at the western end a 
wide depression through which the main feeder probably flows. 
Around the flats at the mouth of the stream the Indians had planted some heav} r 
wooden posts, though for what purpose could not be learned. As they were removed 
upon the approach of the boat, it is possible that a trap was in course of construction. 
The only record available for this stream is from the books of the Baranof 
Packing Company, namely: In 1896, 21,175 redfish were taken July 12 to July 27.
