ugh character to this trail is given by the large, loose, sharp-edged basaltic bowlders which are strewn thickly over all those lower plateaus thatbridge the island between the bluifs at Starry Arteel and the slopes of Ahluckeyak Hill.The summits of the two broader, higher plateaus east and west, respectively, are com-paratively smooth and easy to travel over; and so is the sea level flat at Zapadnieitself. On the map of St. George a number of very small ponds will be noticed;they are the fresh-water reservoirs of the island. The two largest of these are nearthe summit of this rough divide. The seal trail from Zapadnie to the village runsjust west of them and comes out on the north shore a little to the eastward of thehauling grounds of Starry Arteel, where it forks and unites with that path. Thedirect line between the village and Zapadnie, though nearly a mile shorter on thechart, is equal to 5 miles more of distance by reason of its superlative rockyinequalities. o o D O o> T. 00
