An amusing story is told of an old
Yukouer who, after living through
many long northern winters in the
Yukon Valley, finally scraped enough
gold duet together to take a trip to the
‘‘outside.” At St. Michael he secured
transportation on a steamer, not one of
the splendid vessels that ply between
Beattie and Seward Peninsula at the
present time, but one of the kind tLat
did service eight or nine years ago.
The first morning out at sea he pre-r
sented himself in the dining room for
breakfast and as seats were numerous
he appropriated one that was most con
venient. A waiter approached and
said “Mush?” and the old fellow got
up dejectedly and walked to the other
end of the dining room.
