ALEUTIAN HISTORY
The following is practically a
literal translation from the Rus
sian taken from the manuscript
of Fr. Gedeon, priest-monk of
the Aexandro-Nevsky Cathedral,
Moscow, Russia and was written
in Kodiak between 1804 and 1807.
The Gateway is informed that it
| has never before appeared in
; print.
Continued from yesterday
Of the remaining male popu
lation of Kadiak, the company
gathered about 100 old men and
youths. The youths were taken
from 12 to 15 years of age, and
only such old men, that could
! not walk, were exempted. On as
[ sembliiyg these, they were dis
? patched, not in bidarkas, but thru
their inability in company’s bid
arahs, to the southern shore of
Alaska, to hunt birds called To
porki (sea parrots). On arrival
there they were sent out by two
and threes to various small is
lands off of Alaska.
It was imposed by the company
for each to secure sufficient birds
for seven parkas. It takes 35
birds for each parka.
They are caught in snares along
high bluffs and sharp rocks. To
such rocks as could not be climb
ed, ladders were set up. Often
they would fall from these and
injure their already failing health,
and some would lose their lives.
While hunting thus, they would
feed on the meat of ie birds
caught, and would dry ,he skin
with feathers on. Such hunt would
end in the middle of July, as by
that time the birds had hatched
their young and would then fly
away. From such time until the
middle of September, the toilers
were allowed to hunt for them
selves.
On return the head of the party
took away the above cited toll
: and taking same to Pavlov Har
j bor turns same over to the com
| pany overseer under a receipt.
It is then these birdskins are
distributed among the kayurkasat
at the various posts and to all
; the women of Kadiak to be pre
; pared and made into parkas,
! which are afterwards sold in
exchange for sea otters to their
: relatives; that is, the father hunts
birds ■while the son hunts sea
1 otters; or else, it happens that
the younger brother hunts birds
and the older hunts sea otters.
; After taking away all the bird
I skns from the above and after
! having them made up into parkas
■ by their wives, mothers or sisters,
I these are exchanged with them
! selves or others for sea otters.
I On return from such hunting
! parties, the energetic ones begin
! hurting foxes or land otters.
! Those that were unable to secure
j birdskins in excess of the number
i imposed for him to secure, for his
! own parka, the company would
j supply him from his own catch,
| but for which he had to turn in
j five fox skins or same number of
i land otter skins. Those that were
unable to make the deficiency up
the following year or he could
borrow from others to make it up.
In case of death, such debts were
paid by relatives.
