The commander of the Great Northern Expedition was not, however, a man to remain diScour- aged for long. Resignation, he knew, was impossible. He wanted that American voyage too much. There was too much afoot, too much at stake for him to remain behind. The set-backS he was eX- periencing now could be forgotten in the work and achievements ahead, and so, enthusiastically, Vitus turned the whole disagree able mess from his mind and car ried on.
 In January, 1733, the expedition moved out of St. Petersburg. It was truly a large enterprise. In addition to a dozen officers, there were about thirty AcademiSts with their helpers, and hundreds of la borers. The laborerS were convicts freed for the purpose, and not the best men for such an undertaking. It was one more cross Boring had to carry.
 The tasks assigned to the cxpe- dition were tremendous in scope. There were to be three phases. One, the exploration and charting Of the arctic coast from the Ob all the way to Kamchatka Village, or Petropavlovsk at is came to be known. CThis was another dig at Vitus, for in circumventing the coast he would either be proven correct in claiming there was no isthmus connecting Siberia and America, or wrong, with the sub sequent accusations, if one was fOundD
 The second phase would be the opening of a northern route to Japan, and was to fall under the di- rection of Martin Spangberg. In 1738, after building and provision ing his ships, Spangberg stood out to sea. His discoveries were im- portant in that he proved once again there was no such a land as Yezo, and he also charted the dan gerous reef-laden Kurile Island waters, about which little was known. He was successful in reach ing Japan, and thus pointed out the way for trade with that coun- try. This route could also serve as a path ot invasion in case of war, something never far from Russia's imperialistic designs.
 The third phase came to be known as the American Expedi-

ton, and was concerned with hunt ing out the American continent across the northern oceans, as the Russians called the Pacific. Vitus would personally lead this expe- dition, and for eight long years it was his dream.
 In addition to the three major phases, there were scores of lesser duties, though none of them could be called minor. Every government tai agency in Russia had to climb on the wagon with something that must be done: Vitus was to start schools, build iron foundries, re- form local governments, introduce agriculture and cattle raising to the more distant natives, erect light houses, build cities (one of which stands today as a monu- ment to this gigantic task - Pet rOpaVlOVsD, as well as to tend the scientific demands and individ- ual Vagaries of the spoiled Acad- emists Vitus had drawn up his own plan for the undertaking at tAc request of the Senate. But when it was returned to him there were so many additions he found 1t unrecOgnizable.
 I'll never get to America" he groaned.
 "Yes, you will" said Chirikov staunchly, "and so will l."
 Alexis own duties were that of supply master. He travelled all over Siberia gathering foods and other materials for the expedi- tion and sending them to strategic spots for pickup. His was huge responsibility and he performed it well. Though the personnel of the Great Northern Expedition were sometimes hungry, they would have starved had it not been for Chiri- kov, He was also destined to sail as second in command on the American Expedition with Bering.
 Something" Alexi vowed, 'I wouldn't miss for anything"
 If we ever make it, parried the commander wearily.
 Meaning what?"
 Boring tossed the younger man a letter.
 This states that I am to be court-martialed for dereliction of duty. Things aren't moving fast enough to suit St. Petersburg

Schedule conflicts preclude q

The 10-man body said three
or four regional title games
are needed for the smaller

The games probably will be
played in early December. some
