It was just striking three as I came up the companion-stairs on to
the deck of the Cottage City, into the clear topaz light of a June
morning in Alaska: light that had not failed through all the night,
for in this far northern latitude the sun only just dips beneath
the horizon at midnight for an hour, leaving all the earth and sky
still bathed in limpid yellow light, gently paling at that mystic
time and glowing to its full glory again as the sun rises above the
rim. Our steamer had left the open sea and entered the Taku Inlet,
and we were steaming very slowly up it, surrounded on every side by
great glittering blocks of ice, flashing in the sunshine as they
floated by on the buoyant blue water. How blue it was, the
colouring of sea and sky Both were so vividly blue, the note of
each so deep, so intense, one seemed almost intoxicated with
colour. I stepped to the vessel's side, then made my way forward
and stood there; I, the lover of the East, dazzled by the beauty of
the North The marvellous picture before me was painted in but three
colours, blue, gold, and white.
