the following year another 'attempt to double Shelatfkoi 

 Nofs ; . but want of provifion, and the mutiny of the 

 crew, forced him to return to the Lena in 1763. It 

 is worth remarking, that during his whole voyage he 

 found the currents fetting in almoft uniformly from 

 the Eaft. Two remarkable rocks w^ere obferved by 

 Shalauroff near the point wh^re the coaft turns to 

 the N. E. towards the channel which feparates the 

 ifland Sabadei from the continent ; thefe rocks mav 

 ferve to direft future navigators : one is called Saetfliie 

 Kamen, or Hare's Rock, and rifes like a crooked horn; 

 the other Baianei Kamen, or Sheep's Rock ; it is in 

 the fliape of a pear, narrower at the bottom than at top, 

 and rifes twenty-nine yards above high-water mark. 



Second Expe- Shalauroff, who concluded from his own experience, 



dition of Sha- 



laurotf. ^j^^t ^i^Q attempt to double Tfchukotfkoi Nofs, though 

 difficult, was by no means impracticable, was not dif- 

 couraged by his former want of fuccefs from engaging 

 a fecond time in the fame enterprize : he accordingly 

 fitted out the fame fliitik, and in 1764 departed as be- 

 fore from the river Lena. We have no pofitive ac- 

 counts of this fecond voyage ; for neither Shalauroff or 

 any of his crew have ever returned. The following 

 circumftances lead us to conclude, that . both he and 

 his crew were killed near the Anadyr by the Tfchutfki, 

 about the third year after their departure from the Lena.
