John Muir was there to study and describe the glaciers--and who so competent to deal with those prehistoric monsters? Professor Brewer of Yale talks about the weather, and Professor Fernow of Cornell betrays the secrets of the trees. George Bird Grinnell, who knows the American aborigines like a book, writes of the Indians and Eskimo. Professor Dall, the palaeontologist, needed no urging to revisit his favorite stamping-ground.

Two whole months were spent in botanizing, "bug"-hunting, studying the glaciers and the natives, taking photographs (five thousand of them), seeing sights and listening to legends, learning about the Klondike, making a twohours' visit to our next-door neighbor, Siberia, and coming back to Seattle and civilization without an accident of any sort, and with three tons of coal left unburnt in the bunkers.
