The natives thought it was the Amer- ican national hymn, and felt highly flattered by the delicate attention. Self-Tortured Mourners, While the relatives and guests gath- ered around in a solemn circle, the pyre was ignited. The relatives wept and howled and crooned and keened, and the guests started systematically to work themselves into an advanced state of seeming epilepsy. The Prince Frederick Sound Whlingits boast of tor- turing themselves in a most horrible manner while the body of a friend is in process of cremation. On this oc- casion a special deputation from Prince of Wales’ Island graced the scene and did its little best to make thinks live- ly. It looked for a long time as if salmon berries, raspberries, thimble- berries, salal, seaweed cakes, seal blub- ber, whale steaks, moose steaks and Alaskan moss. There were also piles of potatoes fried in porpoise oil. Distribution of Gifts. On the fourth day following the cre- mation, which marked the end of the period of mourning, the relatives of the dear departed washed the black off their faces, striped those same visages like barber poles and distributed pres- ents to the guests. These gifts con- sisted of everything under the _ sun, from a brand-new Winchester rifle, for the richest guest, to a worn out horse blanket for the poorest. Volotskoi’s heir, who was his sister’s son, was ut- terly ruined by the extravagance of the occasion. Before the old man died the youngster was tolerably well-to-do; his inheritance made hi a pauper. A close count showed that he gave away more than twelve hundred presents. It pays to be a professional mourner in Alaska. When the hullabaloo was over, Volote skoi’s. ashes were placed in a tin box which had formerly contained soda crackers, and were buried three | feet under the floor of his hut. This was done in order that his ghost might a -picnic.. Give him a chance to howl and gash his flesh until ius swarthy cuticle looks like a map of the’ St. Elias range or a much-trodden cow path in rainy weather, and he is su- premely, aggressively happy. Put him in a good-sized morgue and let him ‘weep and wail and gnash his teeth and punch an open-work pattern all over his short ribs, and he’ll never care to wander. He would make a good run- ning mate for the ghoul in the Arabian Nights. Every little phratry and sub-phratry in the Wolf and Raven clans, into which the Thlingits are divided, feels in honor bound to hold a grand jambo- ree to celebrate the death of the least of its members.

The festivity “to glorify the dead” held in his honor broke all funeral records throughout Alaska. Up to date more than a dozen deaths have been the results of the por- cine stuffing indulged in by the mourn- ers, who consisted of the greater part of the Raven clan. A singular fact in connection with Thlingit burials is that the guests must always be chosen from the opposite clan. So as Volotskoi was a Wolf, the guests were Ravens. As Volotskoi was only a chief and not a shaman or sorcerer, he was cre- mated. Had he been a shaman his remains would have been deposited in a box swung high between two posts. If there had been any such useful in- stitution as a board of health in the meighborhood of Prince Frederick Sound, Brother Volotskoi would have been buried several days earlier. As | it was, it was not necessary to inquire the way to the house of woe. For- tunately, your correspondent had been through @ preparatory ¢ourse-of sleep- ing in Eskimo huts, and ‘elose contact with the natives, and was by that time olfactorily invulnerable. No: tinte was set for the cremation.
