PIOTTUCH'S PAVOSHKA MOUNTED ON SLEIGH-EUNNERS. 



PAET IV 



INVESTIGATIONS AT THE MOUTH OF THE PETCHOEA, 

 AND BETUEN HOME 



July 13. 



ON Tuesday, the 13th of July, we were wakened by M. 

 Arendt about 6 a.m., and about 8.30 we left in the 

 steamer for the Golaievski Banks, where beacons have 

 to be erected before the arrival of the ships. 



After passing Stanavoialachta and Cape Sokolka we 

 steamed N. by E. along the coast, and on leaving the 

 coast followed the channel marked out by a line of 

 besoms, which are tied upon poles which are anchored by 

 heavy stones attached to one end. These have to be laid 

 down every year, as the ice, of course, carries them away.
