. Capt. J. D. Winchester's experience on a voyage from Lynn, Massachusetts, to San Francisco, Cal., and to the Alaskan gold fields .... ried hard to get the boat over them, but the current would catch one side of her bow and wrench her out of our grasp, swinging her like a top, then she would bring up sideways on a hummock, of which the bar was full, and nearly capsize. We always jumped in when we found she was goingr, and this frightened Le-tt C? O page and he would scold, while Ryan always knew enoughto keep his tongue still. I knew there was no danger, forthe water was shallow. Lepage, after one or two trials toget the boat over, with the same result, thought we couldrow her over further out from the shore. I could see thewater bubbling up there and boiling, showing that therewas a rough bottom near the surface, but Lepage took itfor back water. Off there was where the danger lay, forif we had struck a hummock we would have been thrownin so quick that we would never have known what did I said nothing and agreed to venture, to give him alittle experience. We rowed out into the stream, got into the back water,.
