It was reported in Wrangell that some of the unfortunates were still on the snowy divide between the Skeena and the Stikeen.
The Skeenas are on the river of the same name, 'at the mouth of the Skeena River.'
In the modern development of the Omenica and Cariboo gold fields the Skeena has been the highway to the sea.
From this point we began to descend toward the Bulkley, which is the most easterly fork of the Skeena.
This brought us once again to the bank of the dreaded Skeena.
