St. George's Island, Pribylov Group
Viewed from a point at sea about 7 miles E.N.E., off Tolstoi Mees; these characteristic swarms of waterfowl, arries and choochkies, stirred up by an approach of the steamer, encircle the whole island in this manner, and give notice to a mariner, in thick weather, of the proximity of that island long before it can be seen
