It was decided to start the next
morning and as we weighed an
chor we got the tow rope in the
propeller, nothing you under- j
stand, nothing to be alarmed
about. We cut the rope finally, i
using an oar with a butcher
knife lashed to the end of it and
then turned the propeller slowly
by hand. Then in a reckless mo
ment we turned on the gas and
of! she went, back to Goodnews
Bay.
WHALES GRAY EYARI)
I
Be it recorded, we spent a nice,
quiet, law-abiding Fourth of July
on Carter Spit, exploring the spit
for the entire length-seven
miles. This is the graveyard of
all kinds of whales, walrus and
mukluks ("seals'. Bones were
scattered everywhere and one of
the native girls picked up a nice
mammoth tooth at the end of the
MORAVIAN VESSEL
j We arrived at Goodnews Bay
ion our second trip on July 8, and
| that evening the M. S. Moravian,
| the Moravian mission boat ar
I rived at Goodnews with about
i 75,000 feet of cabin and sluice
. box lumber and other trading
, goods for the post. After the
;boat was unloaded we decided to
jtake the Moravian to Bethel,
leaving on the 0th.
THE GENUS HOMO
The motorship Moravian is a
fine, roomy river boat, 70 ton,
50 horsepower, and is captained
by Mr. Swally, a missionary. Here
I met another wonder, a rare
; specimen of the genus homo and
a man who neither smoked, chew
, ed, swore nor drank and believe
I me or not, said grace before each
I meal.
ALMOST “FAW” DOWN
i It is now over 25 years since
II bowed my head in prayer, but I
i was so overcome with wonder
| that I almost fell on both knees
j when he said at breakfast the
j first morning: “And now we’ll say
: grace before breakfast,” etc. I
always thought the first and
l most proper thing to do was to
wash one’s face and brush one’s
1 teeth—cleanliness before Godli
ness, so to speak. So noble, lur
ing examples, I thought, must
finally be rewarded.
SHOVE OFF, AGAIN
We left Goodnews with sincere
regrets Mr. and Mrs. Joe Jean
being such genial hosts; at 10 a.
m., we passed Carter beacon,

course S. W. from the beacon,
keeping the beacon and Beluga
peak in line, we cleared the shore
by 10 miles; then turned W. 1-2

to the entrance of Kwinhawk
! Bay and rivet-. 100 miles distant,
i Having arrived there, it was de
I cided to anchor, well off-shore,
! and a small boat with two na
| fives were sent ashore for mail.
I decided to go ashore with them
! not wishing to overlook any na

I called on Mr. and Mrs. Benson,
teachers. They were preparing tc
leave Kurinhawk for Afognak
Island, Pacific side, and were
packing salmon for the trip. 1
advised them to pack it up ver>
carefully, then take it down tc
the banks of the Kwinhawk Riv
er and drop it. The idea, I thot
taking canned salmon to Afog
