TLEDOO, a summer resort of the Massett sea-otter hunters, where there are three cabins, is one of the best and most frequented. There are four rocky islets lying from half a mile to a mile off shore between Frederick Island and the cove, a distance of about four miles. There are two small streams within three miles south of Tledoo, and one within a quarter of a mile north, the first of the former being called "Boulder Creek,"* the second, "Islet,"* and the latter, "Otter Creek."* About two and a-half miles north east of Tledoo, around two rocky points lies
KLI-KA-KOON, a camping place on the south shore of a small bay, near the mouth of Hana-koot Creek. There is a sandy beach at the head of this bay, and another small stream flowing in on its northern side.
Around the next point and we enter See-al-tzing or Ezra Bay, about two miles in depth, having a sandy beach at its head and a small stream flowing into it. There are five rocky islets lying off shore, between the northern entrance to this bay and Saka-koon Point, at the southern entrance to
LEPAS BAY, the most extensive of the five mentioned, and the last before reaching Cape Knox. It is about three and one-half miles in depth and nearly as wide. There is a small island and cove on its north-eastern side, and beach of white sand at its head.
CAPE KNOX, the extreme north-western land of Graham Island, extends boldly out to sea about four miles in a south-westerly direction from the head of Lepas Bay. There are four off-lying rocks, the farthest out being over three miles from the cape, upon which the sea is almost always breaking.
Reaching Cape Knox, to the north-ward five or six miles may be seen the north-west point of
NORTH ISLAND—It is from five to six miles in length, with an average breadth of three and a-half miles, covered with spruce down to its irregular, rocky shores, its greatest elevation above the sea not exceeding four hundred feet.
There are four bays from one to two miles in depth on its eastern and north-eastern side, with beaches at their heads, which we named in the order reached in circumnavigating the island from Tadense eastward:—Clara,* Henry,* Edith and Albert Bays.* There is a small cabin on the shore of Edith Bay, with a garden patch adjoining. They are all exposed to easterly winds.
CLOAK BAY, on its south-western side, is much the largest indentation, but is open to westerly storms. The small cove on the south side of the island, near the Indian village of Tadense, is believed to afford the safest anchorage.
PARRY PASSAGE, about a mile and a-half in width, separates North from Graham Island, reefs, and Lucy Island narrowing the ship channel very rapid—except at flood tide—to less then 2000 feet. The deserted Indian villages of Ki-oos-ta and Kah-oh are situated near each other on the south shore of the passage.
