Bennett to Lebarge

Why Jenny didn't want to get on board!

Yukon is fairly tame to just below this point. First they unload the boats onto the "tramway." Note it has wood rails. Little steamboat Victoria shooting the rapids (Not sure where the "Little Jim" came from.)

 

(Not sure who the "Yukoners" were, but I can't see their boat.) Finally our brave boys do it. Now you know why they unload all the stores and the mule wouldn't go. Lewes River is the former name for the upper course of the Yukon River (I can't see the baby either.)
