been converted into a sea-going vessel for
the occasion.
Major Kennicott and his party rem aimed

who also had been made an officer of the
expedition, EN- barked in a Russian "bar-
cos, an open sailing craft propelled also
in part by oars, for Unalaklik, a small
Indian village near the mouth Of a river
OF the same name, some sixty-fve miles
up the coast.
On October 2 Lieutenant Adams was
sent by Major Kennicott, with half

up the Unalaklik River. in a three-pole
"bidarka," or hshing- boat, TO ascertain
the feasibility of making portage to the
Yukon, or the Kivthpak, as it was then
known on the coast, and to sound the
natives on the question of obtaining rein
deer meat, fish and other provisions.
Adams went up the river some fifty miles
and discovered that the portage could be
made, and having obtained the other
necessary Information returned to camp.

sleds and attendants and made the port

visited it, but that house contained twenty
natives. They shared their qua- ters with
the strangers, however, for the night.
On November 8 the explorers arrived at
Nulato, Russian trading post $50 miles
up the river. The weather had been in
