EDITORS Alta; In walking down Broad-
ynv 10 the wharf. aome two weeks since, I
met Captain G. A. Eastman, naturalist" and
Navigator, who preaslnRly invited me to ac-
COMPANY him on an expedition fitted out TO
CAPTURE sea lions for the San Francisco circus.
The captain Ia the same old salt who captured
the sea lions and alllgators At Woodwards
gardens. and also those at Barnum's museum
In New York; and, besides, he has been adj
miral Of several expeditions fitted out by sci.
entiac societies TO prowl the seas In search Of
marine curiositios. He knows every blight
and hay and hcadland from Behring straits
to Cape Horn, and can point out In and
around all OF them the exact spot where
many time and oft, and antedatlng the date
Of hls acknowledged birth,
ale baited his hook with tigers tails,
And sat on rock anu boDOcd TOT whales
