CHIRIKOF NEVER A PENAL COLONY SAYS AUTHORITY Rev. A. P. Kashevaroff Ex- | plodes Story that Famous Island Criminal Abode In answer to numerous inguir- Y jes coming from ail over the " United States, Rev. A. P. Kashe- varoff, curator of the Territorial 4% Historical Library and Museum " at Juncau and authority on early Alaskan history said today that, Chirikcf Island had never in the. a, under the R history of Al ian regime or under the Ame H can, heen a penal colony nor was| it a haunted island. These let-, ters of inquiry e received by Rev. Kashevaroff as a result of an article which appeared, with! the heading, “To Roundup Wild | Cattle on Chirikof,” in a. recent| issue of the Alaska Weekly. | Rev. Kashevaroff said that th {was not the first time that cles had appeared in apers stating that Chirikof | and had been a penal colony | nd it was therefore his intention | permanently to correct this error. a | “Chirikof Island,” sald Rev. Kashevaroff, “is known to the Russians as Ukamok. I doubt if many of the people of Kodiak would recognize the island by the name of Chirikef. It was discov-| ered by Bering in 1741, who; lealled it Tumnnoi, or Foggy Tsland. In 1778, Capt. Cook also | Sari-| {identified it by this name 'chef, according to Sauer, called it Elkamok; but in 1794, Van-! couver renamed it Chirikoef ini honor of Capt.
