THE ST. LAWRENCE ISLANDS. 133 



future navigators, who intend to examine the Ca- 

 rolinas. The reader knows, from Lagediack*s state- 

 ment, how I discovered three groups. The spaces 

 between the island groups, which, according to 

 Edock's statement, are of the same nature as those 

 examined by ourselves, I have marked with figures, 

 which determine the days' voyages from one 

 group to the other : the single islands are only 

 distinguished by a circle. Sehtiu, Feis, Pelli, and 

 lap,, are said to consist of high, and the others of 

 low land. lap and Pelli, which are probably the 

 Pelew islands of Wilson, are found marked in all 

 charts. I shall say nothing farther on this subject, 

 as M. Von Chamisso, in his love for the sciences, 

 undertook the trouble of interrogating Kadu, as 

 well on the geography, as on the customs of the 

 Carolinas, and the groups discovered by us. His 

 account, which he furnished for my voyage will be 

 found entertaining and instructive. Edock pointed 

 to the east when I asked him in what direction 

 Ulle lay. His error proves, that an easterly wind 

 had carried the unfortunate men from theii' island, 

 and that they were driven back to the E. by a S.W. 

 monsoon, which prevailed there; but as they always 

 fancied themselves west of Ulle, they still plied, 

 when they reached the monsoon, always to the east. 

 Edock told us, that on the island-group of Arno, 

 a day's voyage from here to S. W., five men had 

 landed in a boat. They were natives of the group 

 of Lamureck, which lies at a small distance from
