ing the Alaskan boundary, is here also, awaiting the boat 
which is to take us down. 
Still awaiting the arrival of the Princess May, for Victoria. 
The Ma$ came in at 3.30 today. Owing to the rush 
from the Klondike, the ship is very crowded; carrying two 
hundred and seventy first-class passengers, when, in reality, 
there are accommodations for but a hundred and seventy-five. 
At three this afternoon, Bailey and Stearns, two Eng¬ 
lishmen who have been up in the Cassiar, made town in their 
canoe, in season to go down on the boat, likewise. Count 
Hoyes, the Austrian before mentioned, came down at four. 
The weather up the Stickine has evidently been too much 
for him, and he is very ill, having spent four of the days 
of the Stickine descent lying flat in his boat’s bottom. We 
left before I could learn how sick he actually was, though 
I rather imagine him to have been overcome by cold and 
wet alone. 
Steamed out at 7.30, on the night of the 21st; and after 
being fog-bound several hours in Wrangle Harbor, proceeded 
on our way. 
Arrived at Victoria 3.30 this morning,—the end of a most 
enjoyable and successful trip.
