Khitroff had his way, and left the ship with the
yawl and five men. He was gone four days, during
which time the St. Peter was forced to lie at anchor,
while a favorable east wind might have carried them
several hundred miles toward home. The yawl was
dashed to pieces off one of the neighboring islands, and
no more came from the expedition than that Lieutenant
Waxel, under great difficulty, found it necessary to
rescue the six shipwrecked adventurers. Moreover, they
experienced a somewhat uninteresting clash with the
Innuit (Esquimo)[1] inhabitants of the Aliaska peninsula,
of which Müller and Steller both give a detailed account.
