as its prosGiicG in thoso latitudes is not common, Soveral herds of sea- 

 I'ibns wore found on the hcachos and on the rocks of tho island. They 

 evinced no fear of o\rr party until fired into, v/hen they entered the 

 water and follov/ed us from point to point, evidently viewing our in- 

 trusion with the greatest curiosity and astonishment, 



"Angular measurements were made on the shore by Lieut. D,V?, Hall 

 to detorraine the heights of tho peaks and the dimensions of the island, 

 with the following results: 



■ Feet. 



Height of oast pinnacle old Bogoslov --------- 334 



Height of contor pinnacle old Bogoslov -------- 289 



Height of west pinnacle old Bogoslov --------- 324 



Breadth of base old Bogoslov^ 933 



Height of Sail Rock -'. 875 



Width of isthmus (narrowest)- -------- -_-- 326 



Length of southern spit ---------------- 1,824 



Extreme length of island ------------- — 7,904 



"General trend of island, SE, by E, and MY. by VJ, 

 By observations of Lieut, J,\Y» Howison the position of Sail Rock 

 was reckoned to bo latitude 53° 55' 18" north and longitude 158° 00« 

 21". 7 T/est." 



In 1885 the CORV/IN again visited the island at that time a narrow 

 neck of land connected the island. The activity had stopped •matRrially. 

 There was little change from 1884. Tho lower peak was 450 feet and the 

 higher one 525 feet. 



In 1887 the' island was visited by I/Ir. W.G. Greenfield, at that 

 time the contours had changed materially. 



In 1890 and 1891 the island was visited by the Gutter GMM! and
