2 o'clock in the morning
Spent considerable time ashore , resting , as we were about played out , and we thought that we might now be safe in a little delay . Got off late in the afternoon , and did well . Uncle Dick says the Yukon ca n't be more than fifty to seventy-five miles ahead . Camped late in a bunch of spruce , and slept until 2 o'clock in the morning . When we began to run we saw signs of a salmon fishery such as we have in Alaska . There is a man here named Martin , and his squaw and children all camped on the beach . He says it is only thirty-five miles to the Yukon , and that we can do it in six or seven hours .
