Haunted Alaskan Island.

To the south and west of Kodiak,
distant about 100 miles, and forming
one Of the Semidi group, is the island
OF Chirikof, the haunted island Of
Alaska
Enshrouded for great portion Of
the time with almost impenetrable
fog, the Tanna Tribune says, this lone
ly isle is an object OF terror to the
natives, who we'll not go near the
island, saying it means certain death
to invade the canny confines, and
there are few men in the far north
who have the temerity to test the
truth of the many and weird tales told
of this forbidding and barren island.
Shipmasters and sailors passing the
place assert that the agonizing cries OF
Russian exiles sent there to starve or
die of torture are sometimes heard
on quiet nights, while the clink Of
chains and the sound Of blows are
testified to in an affidavit by white
man who once attempted to remain
there for a week and who lost his
reason.
