While General Rousseau and his
American troops attended the cere
monies on the parapet facing Prince
Maksoutoff’s castle at Sitka, another
American officer caused the stars, and
stripes to be raised at Chilkat in place
of the Hudson Bay flag.
The “Lincoln,” Captain Howard,
was obliged to seek shelter at Chilkat
on the evening of October 16, 1867, ac
cording to Rev. A. P. Kashevaroff in
the January Alaska Magazine.
The next morning it was blowing so
hard that he did not send boats ashore
but about noon the wind died dowrn
and at 1:30 five large war canoes came
alongside, one flying the Hudson? Bay
Company’s flag and piloted by Jack,
an interpreter, who was dressed in
*
the full uniform of an English officer.
Soon afterwards the head chief ar
rived, accompanied by his wife, the
daughter of the great chief of the Sti
kines, and Capt. Howard received the
party on board. The Captain reports
that, the chief was a very quarrel
some Indian who was much incensed
when whiskey was not Offered. “If
you have no presents, coats, trousers
.and shirts, why come?’’ he demanded.
“Talk without whiskey is nothing—;
suppose plenty of whiskey, then talk
good.”
Pacified with a red-lined overcoat
and gift3 of molasses, tobacco and
biscuits, the chief departed in charge
of an American flag and^staff, which
promptly replaced H. B. Co., banner in
the prow? of his canoe, and Capt. How
ard reported, “The flag was hoisted
.at Chilkat within a few minutes of the
\C
time it was hoisted at New Archangel,
as it was afterwards ascertained.”
' Fr. Kashevaroff, who is curator of
the Territorial museum, also confirms
the story of the tangled Russian flag
dropped from the staff to flutter down
on the bayonets of the Russian sol
s'
diers. His story is illustrated with
rare photographs of the American and
Russian officials involved and views
of the old Baranof castle.
Chas. Cook, of Kodiak, was among
the arrivals this morning on the S. S.
Starr. Mr. Cook plans remaining in
the city until the westbound trip of
the Admiral Watson.
