About noon the e ship rounded boat spit which Rune into the sound for Twenty five Miles from the North end of Graham Island and entered Massett Inlet bound for Tho in Dian Village of the same name. Passing up Tutt Inlet the attention of the spectators attracted by w Leral clearances in the heavily timbered shores thickly studded apparently with tall Flag potes or Burnt Trees.

Coming in eight of Massett tha totem poles of the Village present a scene such As might be seen in a Large shipping a Forest of interminable masts so numerous Are they. The Village consists of a Row of wooden cottages and several Large wheat houses along the gravel Beach and the totem poles ate erected without order Between the dwellings and the water. Amidst the ruin and decay the quart near of the Village is very striking. Until comparatively recent times the Haidas of Queen Charlotte islands have remained almost unknown to the world at Large and antiquarian literature concerning them in very meagre. Transient visitors have made Brief sketches of their houses and totem poles and taken photos of the natives and that is the sum total of the knowledge that has gone abroad about them since exploring navigators first visited them Over a years no systematic Effort Hae be-3n made to study their characteristics or work. In addition to the totem poles to be found on the Island a few of the remarkable old wheat honeys and Geh Angs Are to be found in the villages but the works of the ancient Haidas Are fast falling into decay and a few years hence Wilt have been numbered among things of Tho past. The villages Are a ruins the old carved columns hand out Gray and grim against the Shadow of the Woods Moss und weeds grow upon the great rafters of the wheat Hobbes fills the terraces about the Hearth and Brambles have risen up choked the doorways of the strange old structures those who occupied them Are nearly All dead and the no Genera Tion have taken up their abode in dwellings of a More modern kind.
