Metlakahtla and the North Pacific Mission is a historical book written by Eugene Stock. The book tells the story of William Duncan, a missionary who founded the Tsimshian community of Metlakahtla in British Columbia, Canada. The narrative covers the period from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, when Duncan and his followers established a thriving Christian community in the remote Pacific Northwest.The book describes the challenges and triumphs that Duncan faced in his mission to convert the Tsimshian people to Christianity and to build a self-sufficient community. It also explores the cultural clashes that arose between the Tsimshian and the European settlers who arrived in the region during the same period.Metlakahtla and the North Pacific Mission is a detailed and well-researched account of a fascinating period in Canadian history, and it sheds light on the complex interactions between different cultures and religions in the Pacific Northwest. The book is recommended for anyone interested in Canadian history, missionary work, or the cultural history of the Pacific Northwest.A large canoe of Indians were busy catching halibut in one of these channels. A thick mist enveloped them. Suddenly they heard a noise as if a large animal was striking through the water. Immediately they concluded that a monster from the deep was in pursuit of them. With all speed they hauled up their fishing lines, seized the paddles, and strained every nerve to reach the shore. Still the plunging noise came nearer. Every minute they expected to be engulfed within the jaws of some huge creature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
