Met friends who were with meNthe entire distance home. Spent onc!day in Winnipeg, then to Boisse- yiNin for a week. Mother felt very keenly my leaving and it was pretty 'floral to leave her. Returned to Win- nipeg Oil Sept. 71h. and left on the 10th over C.P.R. Pretty soon I fell in with people from Ontario coining right to Dawson. There was nothing:to see but prairie until the eve of 1.1th, when we sighted the Rockies. I felt like a boy going to his first circus. For years had I longed to see God's handiwork as represented in those wonderful mountains. Now my ambition was to be gratified. Reached the base of V- e first range, (of which there are four) at 6 p.m., just at sonset. Had imag- ined them hugh piles of earth, covered with trees and boulders, but now moun- tains of solid rock. How they towered above us with their snow capped peaks thousands of feet high. The effect was indescribable. Night, came on, but the Moon was full, and her light upon trees, brooks, rapids,, waterfalls, glaci- ers, snow, etc., produced an effect never to be forgotten. Some of the prettiest places on earth are nestled in among those hills. The C.F.I.". have the most beautifnl hotels, flower gar- dens, fruit and shade trees, fountains, etc., to be seen anywhere. Vertable Paradises every few miles. The con- ductor, during the night shift was an old churn of mine, who took me to din- ner and entertained me in the "obser- vation car" until 3 a.m.- He showed me all the points of special interest and gave metheir history. Reached Van- couver, Oil the evening of the 12th, where I spent two days most pleasant- ly with old friends, then set sail for Skagway. Weather was charming all the way. Not much of a crowd on board for fun. Accoininodations not as fine as on the Alberta, but had a good time -just the same. My first ocean trip. sick, I guess not, ate like a horse all the time. Onr course lay right along the shore between number- less islands, rocks, etc. The channel cannot average over half a mile in width. Oh! its a glorious trip.Sik8ag: way was reached in four cloys, th Spent two days here, then took train for White Horse, 100 miles distant: This part of the trip was as enjoyable as any. Scenery was beyond descrip- tion.. Had 21 hours delay at White Horse and then started upon the home stretch.- Our bark was a little stern wheeler about 50 feet in length. We were well fed and hadrno end of a time for another four days, when roundin a sharp bend in the extremely crooke rivet'. we landed in Dawson Sept. 2510.
