ON ST.ELIAS
Captain K. M. Trotte, general in
spector of the lighthouse service, is
is making a tour of the southwestern
coast of Alaska with the intention of
locating further aids so navigation.
“A lighthouse i> to he placed on
Cape St. Klias if human ingenuity can
devise a scheme,” said Captain Trott*.
“It is about the most difficult place to
work on the Pacific coast, as the only
landing place is at Kayak hay, 15 miles
distant. It looks like a trail will have
to he blasted out along the cliff before
a man can reach the site for the light,
let alone put up a derrick to hoist ma
terials.
‘•There has been a hi if improvement
in navigation aids during the past
three \ ears, according to mariners I
have talked with. Of course the delay
in installation was on account of the
1 On"» of the Armeria, for a yreat deal of
the material was lost with the ship."
