1 Also known as Deadmans Bay. 1 Computed at 12 fish per case. 3 Computed at 13.7 fish per case. 
4 Included in this catch are 50,000 fish transferred to canneries at Uyak and 10,000 to Karluk canneries. The Olga Bay cannery 
also packed 60,000 red salmon from Red River (Ayakulik) and 35,000 from Chignik. 
Almost if not quite the entire run of red salmon in this district is destined to the
