paiiy the expedition as geologist. He published his results, including

 up the White, over Skolai pass and dow^n the Chitina and Copper. The 

 party left Juneau on May 25 and arrived at Eyak, in Prince William

Hooper, 1880-1899. 



Capt. Calvin Leighton Hooper, of the United States Revenue Cutter 

 Service, was born in Maine on July 7, 1S42, and entered the United 

 States Revenue Cutter Service as a third lieutenant on June 6, 1866. 

 In this service he remained continually till his death of Bright's disease 

 in San Francisco on April 29, 1900. He was promoted to second lieu- 

 tenant on June 24, 1868, to first lieutenant on July 20, 1870, and to 

 captain on October 23, 1879. He served six years on the North Atlantic 

 coast of the United States, three years on the Great Lakes, while his 

 last twenty-five years were spent on the Pacific coast, chiefly in Alaskan 

 waters, where for many years he patroled in and about Bering sea. 

 His annual reports to the Treasury Department have contributed to 

 our knowledge of Alaskan geography. 



Ilin, 181M842. 



Staflf-Capt. Peter Ivanovich Ilin, of the Pilot Corps, sailed from 

 Cronstadt for the Russian American colonies with Golofnin in the 

 Kamchathi on August 26, 1817. In 1831, in a skin boat (baidar) 23 

 feet long, he surveyed the eastern coast of Kamchatka from Avacha 

 bay northward to Cape Shipunski (Journal Rus. Hyd. Dept., 1852, 

 Vol. X, pp. 12.5-135). This man is supposed to be the one who sur- 

 veyed, at an unknown date, a bay on the western shore of Chichagof 

 island, a bay which after him has been called Ilina— i. e., Ilin's. His 

 sketch is contained in Sheet XXIII of Sarichefs atlas, published in 

 1826. Ilin died in Okhotsk (one account says Kamchatka) in 1842. 

 (Journal Rus. Hyd. Dept., 1850, Vol. VIII, p. 169.) 



Ingexstkem, 1829-1832. 



Ingenstrem was a pilot in the employment of the Russian American 

 Company and often visited Atka, where he twice wintered and made 

 various surveys on Atka and Amlia. He did not publish anything. 

 His results are incorporated in Tebenkof, Lutke, and on Russian 

 Hydrographic chart 1400. Very little information is on record 

 about him. Even the spelling of his name is uncertain. Grewingk 

 says that he made surveys in the western Aleutians in 1829. In 1830- 

 1832, in company with Chernof, he did surveying in Prince William 

 sound and at the mouth of Kaknu river, Cook inlet.
