- April 10 - Our party consisting of Mrs. & Mr. Frank Stephens, Mr. Chas. Littlejohn Miss Alexander and myself left Seattle on the steamship Jefferson at 9:10 in the evening. Bound for Juneau Alaska. - April 11 - Today was bright and clear. We passed thru Georgia Straits and at evening we were steamin- g thru the Narrows. The water was calm and we had an unusually good view of the our- rounding snow covered mount- ains. The sun set at 7:05 tonight I saw seven bald eagles this afternoon also 4 crows, gulls grebes, murres and loons. The table is good and I have begun to dwell of an amazing appetite. We have made at least 10 miles per hour so far. The mountains are densely covered with the conifers with some decidious trees along the beaches.
