Salty runs by the cliffs on
the northside of Gut Bay. The Tlingits call this Raven's gillnet.
The Tlingit legend says a family
was saved at the time of the Great Flood by tying their boat around the top
of Devil's Thumb near Petersburg. When the flood receeded their rope was petrified
around the top. One can see the crack of it. How did the Tligits know there
was a ring around it for few people have scaled it to this day.
