Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1893 edition. Excerpt: ...568. The enumeration of 1890 gives but 230 Kakes, und notes but the two villages of Port Ellis on Kuiu and Port Barrie on Kupreanofi Island. In 1891 a Government school was established at Hamilton Bag at the north entrance of Keku Strait, and in January, 1892, the teacher, C. II. Edwards, was killed by two men who came in a small sloop, as he believed, to sell liquor to the Kakes. Keku Strait, connecting Sumner Strait and Prince Frederick Sound, was long suspected to afford a safer and more direct ship-channel than Wrangel Narrows, and more scenic beauty is claimed for it. Kuiu Island is the most extraordinary arrangement of forestland ever scattered upon Alaskan waters. Map-makers' favourite but unpleasant comparison is to a mass of entrails surrounded by flies. The island is over 60 miles in length and 30 miles across at its widest point, but it is such a mass of peninsulas, isthmuses, and inlets fringed with tiny islets thnt the ordinary statement of dimensions cannot describe it. Its shores are least surveyed of any in the archipelago, and mail steamers have only touched at the cannery at Vancouver's Point Ellin in the Bay of Pillars. Dense groves of yellow cedar may be seen on its shores, and in both 1874 and 1876 the Alaska Lumber and Ship-building Company prayed Congress to grant it or to sell it 100,000 acres of timber lands on Kuiu Island, binding itself to establish mills and yards, and build a vessel of 1,200 tons burden within two years. The fianchise was refused, and Kuiu remains A wilderness. From Cape Fanshawe to Taku Inlet, Shucks and Sam Dum Bays. Ml. Windham, 2,500 feet in height at the N. entrance of Windham Bay, marks the beginning of Stephens't Passage, 25 miles above Cape Fanshawe. The mining-camp of Shucks, the...
