The Excursion.
On Sunday last the steamer Per
ry, chartered for the occasion, left
Valdez in the morning with about
twenty-five couples nlmard. The
sky was slightly overcast with a
thin layer of clouds, and the day
was one for enjoyment.
As the lmat steamed down the hay
rol»es were spread on the deck and
every one sett led down comfortably
to enjoy the scenery. Twelve miles
down the steumer passed through
the narrows and into Prince Will
iam Sound, thence along tho west
shore, past innumerable water falls,
canyons, and enow capped moun
tains. The opposite shore present
ed an ever varying aspect as bay
after hay came into view, till Virgin
Buy was sighted, where the village
of Kllumar could lie seen snugly
nest lit l in its secure cove.
Off in the dim distance to the
south could he seen the islands in
the ocean at the entrance to the
sound.
About 40 miles from Valdez the
steamer turned into a bay just
north of Olucier island, and the
Columbia glacier soon came into
view. The boat continued on its
course till it got to within a few
hundred feet of the giacier, and
steamed back and forth along the
face of it, passing great masses of
detached ice, and affording the ex
cursionists opportunity to see its
every detail.
Out from under the glacier at
one point a torrent Isiils into the
bay, while occasionally great mass
es of ice, with a noise resembling
thunder, break off and fall into
the water.
The glacier presents a grand view,
although not so large as Muir or
Malaspina glaciers, it is without
doulrt a grander sight because it
can l>e more closely approached.
It presents a face about a mile
long an 1 200 feet high, and jutting
from its minaretted surface is a
small mountain peak, which seems
to anchor it in place, while other
great mountains surround it in all
directions.
After a satisfactory view the
steamer started for home arriving
late in the night but still in semi
daylight.
