Excerpt: ... CHAPTER III Through The Valley Of The Yentna.--Climbing Tumbling Waters In A Motor Boat rr DEGREESHE programme for our campaign, as it had X been formulated to the present, was to explore the head waters of the Yentna River first, and from there we expected to get either by the westerly or an easterly route to the southwest arete of Mt.

All the other things were to be carried by the launch to the head waters of the Yentna. It was expected the two horses that had been chased northward would be found along this trail. As the horses galloped up the beach toward the Beluga River the launch was started in the same direction.
