TRIP TO ALASKA.
Fairbanks, Alaska.
June 8, MR.
To the Editor, The 'Seaforth News,
--Well, here I am at last, in Fair-
banks, Alaska, nearly .on top of the
world. Here let me say that I had a
most wonderful trip and I only wish
that everybody could take such a trip
and 1 ant sure they would want to go
again.
I reached Seattle on 'May Wth and
my aunt, Mrs, W. T. Pinkerton, met
me at the port. After spending two
enjoyable days in Seattle, we left Sat-
urday morning, May 19th, for Fair-
banks, on the S.S. Aleutian.
Seattlesis the largest city in the
State of Washington. It is a beauti-
ful and progressive city. Sitatated on
the east side of Puget Sound, it has
a fine harbor, accessible to the larg-
est vessels afloat. The down -town
business section has manylarge build-
ings. The L. C. Smith building is the
highest in America, outside of the
Woolworth 'Building in New York.
Seattle has a very pleasing- residential
section, especially in the vicinity of
the' University of 'Washington, and
many beautiful parks and summer ye -
sorts.

circling- hills smile farewell and bon

eating are the -main affairs of life, and
the brisk walks on the hurricane deck,
the pleasant "atearner friendships" oc-
casionally formed, the dancing after
the dinner hour, the walks ashore, the
glinepees of the new country, give in-
terest to etre days,
The "Inside Passage," as it is called,
winds through the protected chan-
nels of the Alexander archipelago;
and the three stormy places on the
voyage, where the operi sea is en-
countered, are of a few hours' dura-
tion only, so that there is small chance
of illness for an average sailor, Past

stretch of open ocean, the hills grow

to the north the triountainewelled
coast rises to the sight. The incom-
parable range stretches its snowy
length hundreds of miles against the
deep blue of the Alaskan sky,
In.these far northern waters, we sat
an deck, in the steamer chairs, in the
warm sunshine. As my eyes dreamily
lifted to the kindly sky, I fancied a
nearness to the tropics; but looking
across noethward to those towering
sertinels robed itt snow and ice, I
knew :that not far beyond the shora
they guard, is the circle of the Arctic.

who came out to the dock vvith her,

She says that she got my teeter, writ -

she watched every body who comes

I spent the Ohristntas day in Seoul.
Indeed it was a busy day to me aa I
wished to see as many friends. as I
could. Althou0 I have anticipated
to spend several days being pressed
by the request of my children •I had
to leave next morning for Wonsan.
Grace carne bottle -with me. I would
have been quite badly eff•if he was
not wieh me because every thing Was
so strange to me, even my wife was
so to Inc, At the station In Wouson
we were meteby the crowd, ICorean
and Canadian 'friends and my wife,
Good old friends. Misses McCully
brought out their car to welcome me
and -I had the first ride in car in
Korea. 'Next day I had to come in
Ham Heunk in order to find out what
I have to do with the school, and to
prepare a house for moving to Hart
Heung, Within next few days we all
moved in Hatnelieung, Grace was
With me as she had then a short
vacation:
After a week in Ham Heung I had
to go 'to Songjin 16 teach the Bible
Insbltute there for a month. After
two weeks' teaching 1 lead to go, under
a minor oneeation and I was laid up
Inc the Test of two weeks, Then I
came back to home Inc a couple Of
days and went to Sin Chuag to teach
the big Bible Class there for a week.
The minister in that place is one of
my -old friends. He made tMs ar-
rangement and I had a wonderful
time with him, I taught two hours
every day and lectuned every night.
The night Meetings were opened to
the public. For six nights except the
first the eller& was aacket1 with the
people every night. From the second
night the minister of the church in-
vited the unbelievers to the Lord.
alere Were, thirty-two or three who
responded and promised to be Chris-
tian.
gcame home for a couple Of days,
then 1 went to Seoul' to visit my
friends and the children and the
schools. and some other business in
connection with the Korean Student
Federation of North America. I spent
about four days there, then I' came
down Wonsan for couple of weeks to
teach another Bible Institute there,
the second class out ltere is.verymuch
like the first of American car, a but
the. trouble is it is very small ex-
cept the sleeping- cal'. As we did not
get the sleepers we had to get in the•
other and it was packed with the
People and I managed to get a sit for.
Grace and 1 sitted on my suit case. In
such manner we travelled about half'
of the way and -bbe car was not so
full. So I got a conefortable sit for
Grace to iie down. Some sits in the -car
are long enough ta lie down comfort-
ably. •But I could not find one more
such sit Inc .ole and there was only
very short one Inc'me and I tried
hard to steep on it bet I could not
possibly have even a wink. 1 thought
I had to sleep some because I was
planning- to be very busy next day in
Seoul. Perhaps I was 'exeited too.
I was so disgust with the situation I
-got up with disgust and wake up the
epee child 'who was just about get.;
ting sleep ind told her to find ' the
porter and buy the ticket for,two
berthsve becattse we hato have onic
sleep before the morning, even it we
had to spencl every cent we have. Yi-nt
see I could not talk to the porter be-
cause he does not understand my lan-
guage- but he understands Grace be,
cause she talks Japanese.
'Grace begged me to get just one for
myself because she was perfectly all
right where she was but 1 could
never sleep where I was. Just et the
time the poeter was passing by us and
Grace pot.his attentiort and got a berth
ICwas upper, in a conmartntent Where
there are four becle. The three others
were taken by a Japanese family who
had few children. One et them cried,,
all the way to, Seoul because evidently
the child got frightened by the. train,
The man who was with the child was
talking to it all, the time as to paeify
it arid as he could not . sleep he
smoked all the tinte mid the light was
up and door was shut. It was just
bad, perhaps worse, Although I
could stretch my tired 1iinbsinit ,cottld
not' possibly have a, wink in that aw-
ful sitroke, noise,' heat and light -Whoa
I was wondering in that awful place if
it Was aearhig Seoul Grace came to
tell bil t it was time to be ready
for Seoul.

seme -fatirteen years ago with un-
certainty Of return I felit as though
I was dead to that world Inc all these
years and resurrected in that Morn -
make the seeee more go It
ill Wonsan and other place. So we
worked tqa Inc the meeting, thinking
we woald at the Bine have good meet-
ing &sing the . experience gotten in
other places. Then my Grace was
home too as she had shat vacation
then, so she waS to look after the mu-
sic part of the meetings. After these
people had a wonderful preparation
we had pleasure of hearing only one
night because the police court' did not
want us to keep on the meetings ac-
cording to our plan.-
Front the First of -April -I have be-
