 Three Saints; bay, behind Sitkalidak island, on the southeastern coast of Kodiak. 

 Usually so called. Three Saints harbor is on the western shore of this bay. 

 Tebenkof calls this bay Liakik, perhaps from liak, the Aleut name for

 Three Saints; harbor, on the western shore of Three Saints bay, on the south- 

 eastern shore of Kodiak. Here, on August 3, 1784, arrived Shelikof, from 

 Okhotsk, in the ship Three Sainis, aad established the first Russian settle- 

 ment on Kodiak, naming it after his vessel. A few years later the settlement 

 was moved to St. Paul, Kodiak. The place is often referred to as Old 

 Harbor or Starri-gavan. Langsdorf in his Voyage (pp. 88, 91) calls it 

 Schehkoff harbor. A native village there is called Nunamiut. This name 

 Three Saints has, by a curious transformation, become Ziatitz on some 

 maps. The Russian verb sviatit, to sanctify, whence sviatoi, a saint was 

 written in English in 1849 by the Russian skipper Archimandritof 

 Zfiatitz. The manuscript map on which this appeared contains many 

 words familiar to the student of the locality, but which are recognized 

 with difficulty owing to the novel orthography. This manuscript map of 

 Kodiak was published by the United States Hydrographic Office in 1869 

 On that map we have "Hr of 3 Saints and Zfiatitz." One more change 

 and we have on late charts— Ziatitz as the name of the native village Nuna- 

 nuut.
