THE DISCOVERY OF ALASKA
R(>rin« Can't Give Up Discovery Dream
(Continued)
By BOB REDDING
CHAPTER VII
Tlie commander of the Great
Northern Expedition was no1,
however, a man to remain discour
aged for long. Resignation, he
knew, was impossible. He wanted
that American voyage too much.
There was too much afoot, too
much at stake for him to remain
behind. The set-backs he was ex
periencing now could be forgotten
in the work and achievements
ahead, and so. characteristically,
Vitus turned the whole disagree
able mess from his mind and car
ried on.
In January, 1733, the expedition
moved out of St. Petersburg. It j
was truly a large enterprise. In j
addition to a dozen officers, there
were about thirty Academists with j
their helpers, and hundreds of la
borers. The laborers were convicts
freed for the purpose, and not the
i best men for such an undertaking.
It was one more cross Bering had
to carry.
The tasks assigned to the expe
dition were tremendous in scope, j
There were to be three phases. |
i One, the exploration and charting '
I of the arctic coast from the Ob all i
; the way to Kamchatka Village, or
Petropavlovsk at is came to be
known. (This was mother dig at
. Vitus, for in circumventing the
j coast he would either be proven
correct in claiming there was no
isthmus connecting Siberia and
America, or wrong, with the sub
sequent accusations, if one was
found.)
The second phase would be the
opening of a northern route to
Japan, and was to fall under the di
rection of Martin Spangberg. In
1738, after building and provision
ing his ships, Spangberg stood out
to sea. His discoveries were im
portant in that he proved once
again there was no such a land as
Yezo, and he also charted the dan
gerous reef-laden Kurile Island
waters, about which little was
known. He was successful in reach
ing Japan, and thus pointed out
the way for trade with that coun
try. This route could also serve as
a path of invasion in case of war,
something never far from Russia’s
imperialistic designs.
The third phase came to be
known as the American Expedi
tion, and was concerned with hunt
ing out the American continent
across the northern oceans, as the
Russians called the Pacific. Vitus
would personally lead this expe
dition, and for eight long years
it was his dream.
In addition to the three major
phases, there were scores of lesser
duties, though none of them could
be called minor. Every governmen
tal agency in Russia had to climb
on the wagon with something that
must be done: Vitus was to start
schools, build iron foundries, re
form local governments, introduce
agriculture and cattle raising to
the more distant natives, erect
li ht houses, build cities (one of
which stands today as a monu
ment to this gigantic task — Pet
rcpavlov.sk>, as well as to tend the
scientific demands and individ
ual vagaries of the spoiled Acad
emists. Vitus had drawn up his
own plan for the undertaking at
t e request of the Senate. But
when it was returned to him there
were so many additions he found
»t unrecognizable.
“I’ll never get to America,” he
groaned.
“Yes, you will,” said Chirikov
staunchly, “and so will I.”
Alexi’s own duties were that of
supply master. He traveled all
over Siberia gathering foods and
other materials for the expedi
tion and sending them to strategic
.spots for pick-up. His was a huge
responsibility and he performed it
well. Though the personnel of the
Great Northern Expedition were
sometimes hungry, they would have
starved had it not been for Chiri
kov. He was also destined to sail
as second in command on the
American Expedition with Bering.
“Something,” Alexi vowed, “I
wouldn’t miss for anything.”
“If we ever make it,’ parried
the commander wearily.
“Meaning what?”
Bering tossed the younger man
a letter.
“This states that I am to be
court-martialed for dereliction of
duty. Things aren’t moving fast
enough to suit St. Petersburg.”
