This gentleman's father began the Northwest traffic sometime in the last century, and left it as an inheritance about 1828.

His son continued the business until bought off by the Hudson Bay Company, when he turned his attention to Kamchatka.
Personally he has never visited the Pacific Ocean.
Mr.Fluger had been only two years in Kamchatka, and was doing a miscellaneous business.

Boardman's agent confined himself to the fur trade, but Fluger was up to anything.

He salted salmon for market, sent a schooner every year into the Arctic Ocean for walrus teeth and mammoth tusks, bought furs, sold goods, kept a dog team, was attentive to the ladies, and would have run for Congress had it been possible.
He had in his store about half a cord of walrus teeth piled against a back entrance like stove wood.

Phillipeus was a roving blade.
