A U.S. Coast Guard ship on routine patrol in the Bering Sea came across a guided missile cruiser from China, officials said Monday. But it turned out the cruiser wasn’t alone as it sailed about 86 miles (138 kilometers) north of Alaska’s Kiska Island, on Sept. 19.

OUR knowledge of the geography of the Aleutian Islands was very inexact until, in 1901, the Coast and Geodetic Survey sent two vessels to survey the Fox Island passes and eastward to the Sanak Islands. Westward of these passes and Unalaska Bay no surveys have yet been made, if we except one small harbor at Kiska Island.
