An amusing error was actually made in the War Department's ordering a high American officer to proceed to Archangel via Vladivostok, which as a cursory glance at the map of the world would discover, is at the far eastern, vostok means eastern, edge of Siberia, thousands of miles from Archangel.
The Vostok, Captain Bellinghausen, and the Mirni, commanded by Lieutenant Lazarew, left Cronstadt on the 3rd July, 1819, en route for the Antarctic Ocean.
Still close-hauled, and even then not on our course. We had a short service at eleven, but it was as much as I could do to remain on deck. Monday, December 11th. Very like yesterday. We passed close to Flint and Vostok Islands, at the former of which I should have much liked to land.
