	Skagway, Alaska and Dyea, Alaska during the Gold Rush
		The competition for stampeder dollars continued in Dyea and Skagway, Alaska, the towns at the trail heads for the two most popular routes over the mountains, the Chilkoot Pass and the White Pass.
		Dyea's harbor was not as deep as Skagway's, which meant that most of the ships landed their cargoes at Skagway.

		The scenery was magnificent and we saw many harbor seals and water fowl and bald eagles feeding on a bumper crop of eulochans, a fish that the locals call "hooligans" or candlefish because they are so oily that when dried a wick can be inserted and it can be burned as a candle.
		Tientallen zeehonden dartelden rond in het water en waren samen met arenden en meeuwen aan het schransen : de lente is optimaal voor de "eulochans", een klein visje dat danig rijk is aan olie dat de inboorlingen het gedroogd gebruikten als kaarsjes na er een wiek in te steken.
