Great Britain on behalf of Canada contends that, by following the summits of the mountains between these two points, the true boundary would cross Lynn Canal, about half way between the headlands and tide-water at the head of the canal, and leave both Skagway and Dyea towns built up chiefly by United States citizens within British territory.
She leaped down from her vantage-point, and without a word, without a glance behind her set out along the Dyea trail. "Looked kind of salty for a spell, didn't it?" The grizzled leader of the posse, he who had effected the capture of the thieves, was speaking to Pierce. "Well, I'm due for a private apology. I hope you cherish no hard feelings. Eh?" "None whatever, sir.
"She's on her way to Dyea," Pierce insisted. "She can't be far " 'Poleon Doret was angry. "I don' listen to no woman be joke 'bout, you hear? Dis boy spik true. He was in Linderman las' night, for I seen him on top of Chilkoot yesterday myse'f, wit' pack on his back so beeg as a barn." "Do you know the accused?" queried the spokesman. 'Poleon turned with a shrug. "Non! No!
For a few moments nothing was said, and meanwhile the search of the tent went on. When Pierce could no longer remain silent he broke out: "There's some mistake. These boys packed this grub from Dyea and I helped with some of it." "Aren't you partners?" some one inquired. Joe McCaskey answered this question. "No. He landed broke. We felt sorry for him and took him in."
Everybody here seems to be taking in enough food to do them a couple of years. "We are now in Canadian territory, after we passed the summit. I will have to catch somebody going through to Dyea to give him this letter, but I don't know how long before I can get any one going through. This is the last you will hear from me until I get down to the Klondyke." Mr.
If you have any delay at Juneau, you will, probably, be asked to take trips to the Giant Glaciers, but my advice is to stay in Juneau until the steamer is ready to start for Dyea. You will need all the rest you can get before starting up the Pass. A good piece of mosquito netting will not be heavy and will also be very great comfort on the trip.
Just a sure and delicate poise of mind and body " "Like the tight-rope dancer?" "Oh, you are incorrigible," Frona laughed. "I feel certain that you know as much about canoes as we." "And you know? a woman?" Cosmopolitan as the Frenchman was, the independence and ability for doing of the Yankee women were a perpetual wonder to him. "How?"

From Dyea, which is the timber-line, he packs his outfit to the foot of the Taiya Pass the length of which to the summit is about 15 miles. He must now carry his outfit up the Pass, which he generally does in two or more trips according to the weight of his outfit, unless he is able to hire Indians or mules; but so far there are very few Indians to be hired and still fewer mules.
They had landed, she said, at Dyea from the "Alki" with their many tons of provisions and supplies, all of which had to be dumped upon the beach where no dock or wharf had ever been constructed. Here with dog-teams and sleds, a few horses and men "packers," their supplies were hauled up the mountain as far as "Sheep Camp," some ten miles up the mountain side.
Daylight did the camp work of both, harnessed the dogs, and, when ready for the start, rolled the helpless Indian in all three sleeping robes and lashed him on top of the sled. The going was good; they were on the last lap; and he raced the dogs down through Dyea Canon and along the hard-packed trail that led to Dyea Post.
