His manuscript map shows the spring on the left bank of the river near its headwaters. Reed (in Stoney, 1900, p. 47) reported that ""There was but one hot spring there, a pool twenty feet in circumference and two feet deep, full of water, of blood-warm temperature***."" Stoney's maps show the Eskimo name ""Al-lue-ga-wick"" and ""Ah-lue-ga-wik"" for the spring. Present-day maps do not show the spring's exact location." |
