July the 14th a violent ftorm arofe, in which Glot- 

 tofF's veflel parted her cable, and was forced on Ihore 

 without any other lofs than that of an anchor. -The 

 crew likewife, through want of frefli provilions, began, 

 to grow fo lickly, that they were almoft in a defeiicelefs 

 flate. Glottoff however, with ten men, fet out the aStli 

 of July for that part of the ifland, where according to 

 information they expedted to find Korovin. They dif- 

 covered only parts of the wreck, but none of the crew, 

 fo that they now gave them up for loft. But on the 

 2d of Auguft, as Glottoff was on his way back, five 

 iHanders approached him in canoes, and afked why the 

 baidar had been out ; to which a falfe anfwer being 

 given, they told him, that on the other fide of the ifland 

 he would find Korovin with his people, who were 

 building an hut on the fide of the rivulet. Upon re- 

 ceiving this intelligence, Glottoff and his companions 

 went over land to the place pointed out by the illanders, 

 and found every thing agreeable to their information : 

 in this Korovin had not the leaft fliare, not having 

 been made privy to the tranfa6lion. The circumflances 

 of his joining, and afterwards feparating from Glottoff, 

 have already been mentioned -.
