Captain's Humorous
Appellation Sticks
To Local Bay
—By Walter 0. Kraft
"Mark five,” shouted the sail,
oi as the sounding lead touche!
bottom in St. Paul’s Harbor «
Kodiak Island, in Southwest^
Alaska. The captain scanned th
rugged shoreline of the stranR
coast from the deck of a seventy
five-foot, schooner as she sailed
into the estuary. A village loo»
ed forth and gunpoits wen
thrown open, cannons tun out
to the command, “man tht
guns ” Two deaths among tU
crew in a recent battle with the
Kolosh Indians of Sitka wen
fresh in the captain’s memory,
The natives, who were «f h
Aleut race which inhabited to
region, remained hidden in tk
village. They observed with cm
tion the unfamiliar vessel comm
to anchor in their bay. Unkaowi
to them, the ship was a British
trader, despite her bristling ant
ament. She was seeking tbe sa
otter skins. These precious skiw
were well worth the risk take
it obtaining them for they
brought fabulous sums in to
courts of Europe.
An armed party formed on Ih o
deck while a boat was lowered
over the side. Reminding the
mate to cover his landing with
the port guns, the captain clink
ed into the boat. Two men were
ordered to guard the boat on tk»
beach. The remainder of tin
party moved towards the village
As curiosity drew the Aleuti
out of hiding, the British wen
amazed to find only women ad
children in the village. Seeking I
the explanation, they were M
the men were hunting on the
mainland.
After a few seconds of searcit
ing his meagre Russiau vocabul
ary, the captain smiled: '‘Bah
Bootha,” he exclaimed. In Eng
lish this means * W omans Bay.”
Owing to this interesting in
cident of thd 18th century, tin
name ‘‘Womans Bay’ still ex
ists and on this shoreline one if
the largest wartime Navy base)
is permanently located.
