 chi, K'ang-hi, Yung-cMng, and K'ien-lung, and procured in trade from the Russians, 

 whose ships, exchanging the furs of the North Pacific with the Chinese for tea, plied 

 constantly between the two countries, by which means many Chinese articles found 

 their way to Alaska. Secured by Lieut. G. T. Emmons from the Tlingit, Tarku
