The boundary line between the British and Russian possessions had been agreed upon in 1825, but the line had not been marked on the ground. Shortly after Alaska had been acquired by the United States, Lient. (now Col.) C. W. Raymond, United States Engineers, ascended the river and determined the longitude of this post, which was found to be on American territory.
Fortuna, island; see Klokachef.
Fortuna; strait, separating Chichagof island from Klokachef island, Alexander archipelago. Has also been called a passage or channel. Named by the Russians. The Spanish schooner Fortuna, with seven natives of the Hawaiian islands on board, was found ashore here and taken by the Russian American Company's vessels as a prize in 1819. The name has doubtless come from this circumstance.
Fortymile; creek, tributary to the Yukon, from the west, near latitude 64° 30', Prospectors' name, given, presumably, by prospectors, in 1886, when gold was first found here. It takes this name from being about 40 miles below old Fort Reliance. It was called Cone Hill river by Schwatka, in 1883, "from a conspicuous conical hill in its valley." The Canadian Board on Geographic Names has adopted the name Fortymile.

Four Mountains; a group of volcanic islands just west of Umnak, in the eastern Aleutians, was discovered by the Russians at an early day and called ostrora chetierck sopochnie, i. e., Islands of the Four Craters, or Islands of the Four Mountains, as they are usually called. The group consists of five principal islands, though on many charts only four are shown. Our knowledge of the group, still very imperfect, has been considerably improved by the work of the U. S. S. Concord, there in 1894. Their Aleut name, according to Veniaminof, is Unigun, or, according to Sauer, 1790, Oone-agun. Sarichef, who was the first to give any details, says ( Phillips Voyages, vol. 6, pp. 4-5) on May 30, 1791, "we fell in with the four vol- canic islands which take their names from the four craters which they contain. They lie contiguous to each other and bear distinet names. That to the southwest is called Ulaga; that northeast, Tschiginsk; that to the north, Tana; and that to the southeast, Chagamil." The names applied by different authorities are as shown below, but this correlation is to a considerable extent conjectural.

Fox; islands, the easternmost group of the Aleutian chain of islands. The limits of the application of the name are now rather vague. Veniaminof, the best authority of his time, writing in 1840, says the islands lying between Amukta and Alaska peninsula, together with the islands near the penin- sula, are called the Fox islands. Cook, in 1778, calls them the Fox islands. Probably named Leesy (fox) by early Russian fur traders. They are Fox or Andreanof islands of Langsdorf, Iles aux Renards of Lutke, etc. The whole Aleutian chain is known to mariners and whalemen as the Fox islands. The Coast Survey now restricts this name Fox to include only Unimak, Unalaska, and Umnak with their various associated islands. See also Aleutian islands.

Frenchman's, bay; see Lituya.
Freshwater; bay or inlet, on the eastern shore of Chichagof island, Chatham strait, . Alexander archipelago.
