about T:dO. We reached the main

Talk about Htilmon berries and
wineberries! Vou could fill a o gal
lon (ran of them in a short time. Mo

that grow on the tundras back of our
camp. This is a great country for
bears and caribou.

up from the westward and about .1
o'clock the ashes began to fall. They
were not yellow, like the ashes that
fell on Wood Island, but Mack. lam
sending you a sample of them. I
think it is Mt. Pavloff that is giving
us the ashes. More than a half inch
fell before the wind changed and
blew them north. I have seen it smok
ing a good many times this summer
and one night I saw it throw out fire.
