 Bill Reid Captain Dixon illustration from "Raven's Cry" book
"The Queen Charlotte sailed southward through summer fogs, rain, and sunshine. Again and again she stood off the Haida coast to barter for sea otter skins. And she found people avid for things other than iron chisels.... [Captain Dixon] bowed courteously towards a chief in a magnificent Killer Whale canoe."
