 Kayak; island, on the southern border of Controller bay, Gulf of Alaska. This is 



the island which it is believed Bering saw and named St. P^lias in 1741. 



Cook, in 1778, saw and named it Kaye's island, after Rev. Dr. Kaye, dean 



of Lincoln. It has also appeared as Kay's island. The Spaniards Arteaga 



and Bodega, in 1779, called it Nuestra Senora del Carmen, whence the 



name Carmen island. The Russians called it Kayak from a fancied 



resemblance of its outlines to an Eskimo kayak or skin canoe. This has 



been written Kaiak and Kyak. 

 Kayakliut; cape, on the southern shore of Alaska peninsula, west of Kodiak. 



Native name, from Tebenkof, 1849. Also written Kayagliuk.

 Kazakof ; cape, forming the western point of entrance to Danger bay, on south shore 



of xlfognak island, Kodiak group. So named by Murashef in 1839^0. 



Tebenkof applies this name, spelled Kazakofskie, to the eastern head of 



the bay. Its meaning is Cossack's. 

 Kazam, bay; see Kasaan. 

 Kazhyi-Igvat, cape; immediately north of Cape Douglas, Cook inlet. So called on 



Russian Hydrographic chart 1378 (ed. of 1847). Obviously a Russian 



rendering of some native phrase or name. 

 Kazik, island; see Chisik. 

 Kchisakh. On United States Hydrographic chart No. 8 a cape, the southernmost 



point of Little Tanaga island, middle Aleutians, is called C. Kchisakh. 



This name has not been found on any chart of earlier date. Most of the 



names upon it are taken from Tebenkof s charts. In this case Tebenkof 



shows an islet which he calls Sllak island, but does not name the ca])e. 



The hydrographic chart does not name the island, but calls the nearby 



cape C. Kchisakh. Perhaps this is the origin of the name.
