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.

This is a picture of the camp that I took this spring ; there are a few spots of snow on the hill back of it ; the tents are where the boys sleep ; the first tent is the dining text for the children, the last one is the boys play tent in bad weather. The girls have a dormitory in the stable loft. One is shaking a quilt out of the window ; the teachers sleep in the camp, we have two tiny rooms and one large room upstairs, a small kitchen and living room downstairs. The kitchen is our dining room. A small garden in the foreground grows lettuce and radishes, usually very tough, for the ground is cold and sandy and does not produce well.
