  ATTU ISLAND. This island is the most westerly point of the possessions of the
United States, and is the most important of the Aleutian group. These islands
are supposed to have been densely populated, as ruined villages and mummies of
former inhabitants are found. The whole group has a population of about 5,000
natives and half-breeds, mostly members of the Greek church, a chapel existing
on each principal island.
