A
permanent
residence
at
St
.
Michaels
is
not a
thing
to be
desired
,
particularly
by
persons
of a
sociable
disposition
, for the
winters
are
long
and
dark
and
cold
; for
hundreds
of
miles
in
every
direction
the
waters
are
locked
in their
fetters
of
ice
, and from
September
until
the
following
June
the
residents
of this
little
island
are
almost
absolutely
cut
off
from
communication
with the
outside
world
. The
summer
season
,
however
,
is
delightful
, and the
scenes
and
experiences
at
St
.
Michaels
will
afford
many
fascinating
memories
to those
tourists
who
are
fortunate
enough
to
pass
this
way
during
the
open
season
. The
nearness
of this
locality
to the
Arctic
Circle
gives
a
maximum
of
sunshine
and a
minimum
of
twilight
during
June
,
July
and
August
.
Although
the
island
is
entirely
devoid
of
forests
, the
formation
is
rugged
and
broken
,
giving
a
mountainous
effect
to the
general
outline
, and at
twilight
the
sun
tints
upon
the
clouds
and
sea
and
landscapes
are
often
exquisite
beyond
description
.
The
argonauts
to the
Yukon
have
endured
and
suffered
, but
it
cannot
be
said
that their
labors
and
sacrifices
have been in
vain
.
Organized
capital
and
effort
will
develop
the
vast
resources
of
Alaska
. The
argonauts
have
struggled
in the
midst
of
privation
,
disappointment
,
danger
and
death
.
Out
of this
seething
crucible
of
human
toil
and
woe
the
coveted
gold
will
come
, but
only
in
rare
instances
will
it
be the
portion
of those
who
bore
the
heat
and
burden
of the
day.
