doch das geringste entdeckt zu haben.” This introduction was
written by J. B. S. (Scherer).
16. In Petermann’s Mittheilungen, 1879, p. 163, Dr. Lindemann
says that Bering turned back “without having seen, strange to say,
either the Diomedes or the American coast.” The author’s authority
is evidently W. H. Dall, an extremely unfortunate historian. The
latter says: “Bering, naturally timid, hesitating, and indolent,
determined to go no farther for fear of being frozen in, and returned
through the Strait—strange to say—without seeing the Diomedes or
the American coast.” See Dall: Alaska and its Resources. Boston,
1870, p. 297.

23. The name appears earlier on the chart which accompanies
Gmelin’s Reise durch Sibirien, IV., 1752, and in Steller’s Reise von
Kamtschatka nach Amerika. But both of these authors must here
be considered an echo of Müller.
24. See Müller’s own review of the Russians’ early knowledge of
the peninsula in Vol. III. of Sammlung Russ. Geschichte. Even as
late as 1762 the Cossacks could travel among the Chukchees only in
disguise.—Pallas: N. Nord. Beiträge, I., 245.—During Billings’s
expedition hostilities were still smoldering.—East Cape is 600 miles

25. J. D. Cochrane has, in Narrative of a Pedestrian Journey,
London, 1825, App. p. 299, attempted to establish Pavlutski’s route,
unsuccessfully, however, we think. On the whole, accounts and
opinions concerning Pavlutski are so uncertain, that it is impossible
by means of the literature on this point, to give a final opinion. See
Fr. Lütke: Voyage autour du monde, II, 238. “Sauer dit que
Pavlovtsky vint jusqu’au détroit de Bering; ce qui, au reste, n’est pas
en lui même vraisenable.”
