NE,Ths Capture or a Polar near.

Gz:rhe Capture Il a Polar Bear.
The Norwich (Conn.) Bulletin
recently contained the following:
The skin of an immense polar
bear has been received by a gentle.
man in this city by the bark Nile,
from a friend on the bark Isabella,
at Cumberland Inlet, with the fol-
lowing account of its capture /: ga
party of men from the Isabella,
including a number of Esquimaux
and myself, were walking on the
ice a short distance from the ship,
when, rounding a hummock, we
unexpectedly discovered, a short
distance from us, a large bear
quietly feeding. We would have
returned to the ship without dis
turbing it, as We were armed with
only one rifle and a few spears car
ried by the natives, had not one of
the several dogs that were with us
announced our presence by a loud
bark. The bear, as soon as it saw
the intruders began to advance
slowly toward us, but was met
by the dogs, who attacked the
animal vigorously, but with little
effect. He shook them of, and after
iniuring three of them so badly
that they had to be killed, con-
tinued to advance. We discharged
the rifle and then fed to the ship,
where we armed ourselves and came
out to look after the bear, which
had disappeared behind one of the
numerous hummocks by which We
were surrounded. We had searched
for come time, when as one Of the
Esqulmaux passed the corner of a
hummock he came face to face with
the Infatuated animal. He gave a
fearful cry just as the brute struck
him with one of his immense paws.
The rest Of us heard the cry and
rapidly surrounded the brute, which
stood perfectly still over the body
of the Esquimaux. We fired six
teen shots, twelve Of which entered
his body before he received his
death wound. The native was in
sensible when we picked him up
and badly torn about the shoulders
by the beasts claws. but not seri-
ously hurt, We took the body of
the bear on a sledge to the ship; it
weighed 1915 pounds, and was ten
feet and one inch from nose to tail,
and eight feet and four inches
around the thickest part of its
body"
