APPENDIX I. 



Extra5i from the journal of a voyage jnade by Captain 

 Krenitzin and Lieutenant LevafhefF to the Fox Illands, 

 in 1768, 1769, by order of the Emprefs of Ruffia — 

 they fail from Kamtchatka — arrive at Beering's and 

 Copper Illands — reach the Fox Iflands — Krenitzin 

 winters at Alaxa — LevafhefF upon Unalaflika — pro- 

 duBions of Unalaflika — defer iption of the inhabitants of the 

 Fox Iflands — their manners and cujioms^ ^c. 



ON the 23d of July Captain Krenitzin failed in the Krenitzh, and 

 . Lcvafhertfail 



Galliot St. Catherine from the mouth of the Kamt- f™'" t'l": 



Moutli of tlie 



chatka river towards America : he was accompanied by Rj^Jr^'ro's^ 

 Lieutenant LevafliefF, in the Hooker St. Paul. Their 

 inftrudtions were regulated by information derived from 

 Beering's expedition in 17 41. Shaping their courfe ac-. 

 cordingly, they found themfelves more to the North 

 than they expected ; and were told by the Ruffian 

 traders and hunters, that a fimilar * milfake was com- 



* This paflage is obfcnrely expreffed. Its meaning may be afcer- 

 taining by comparing Krenitzin's chart with that of Beering's voyage 

 prefixed to Muller's account of the Ruffian Difcoverics. The route of 

 Krenitzin's veflel was confidcrably to the North of the courfe held by 

 Beering and Tfchirikoff, and confequently he failed through the middle 

 of what they had fuppofed to be a continent, and which he found to 

 be an open lea. See Robertfon's Hiftory of America, p. 461, and 

 p. 26, of this work.
