This picture is poorly printed, but it will give you an idea of the location of the camp; Nome is west of this hill, fourteen miles ; that line over the hill is the road, it is three hundred feet above the beach. The ice is still on the sea, although it was broken up ; the tide and winds took it far out to sea, but in a few days it came back again, it hung on and off shore that way until after the fifth of June, which was the time that I took these pictures. We have all day sun in April, May, and June ; and sometimes we have sun in July. This year it began to rain the sixth of July and has kept it up since, with only a day or so of sun. August is our fall month. Sept. the ground freezes and the first snow flies, not much ; but in October we have from a foot to more of it.
