“In many respects the noblest of all Canadian rivers is the majestic and mysterious Skeena. It owes this supremacy not to its length, for it is only a little over three hundred and thirty miles long, nor to its width, for it is barely three miles wide where it debouches into the Pacific; but it has an imposing and royal mien, and its stupendous environment of forbidding mountains, with the vastness and volume of its swift waters, makes it well nigh unique.”
