- April 12 - Today has been cloudy and it is colder. The snow comes fainter down on the mountains the farther we go north. I saw several bald eagles today and also a bird along the shore which with the glasses I took to be an oyster catcher. When we came to Milbank Sound she caught the ocean, or rather it caught us. I had to go out on deck and walk to keep my breakfast down. We are supposed to get to Dixon entrance about 11 o'clock tonight. - April 13 - We arrived at Ketchikan at 8:15 this morning and stayed there for a couple of hours. We stopped at Wrangel at 6 o'clock this evening and at present (19 o'clock) we are aground awaiting the rising tide to float us off. We passed our first iceberg at 7:30 this evening. I saw several bald eagles today beside scooters and what I think were fish crows.
