that otherwise could not hear her sneak that
day. She came up with the housekeeper. who
was there all the time. and mo,ioned her to a

FITTING OUT 4 POACHER.
A Fast Steamer Chartered nt San FrRneia SEQ
to Take eeals In BehPinG Sec.

SAN Francisco. March H.-A fast steamer
Is being fitted out here for seal ponchlng In
Behring Sea by n company Of local and
Eastern capitalists, who believe there are
biK profits In Illicit sealing when evcry pelt
can be sold for $l2.50. The steamer has been
chartered. but Its name is withheld and crew
is now being selected.
The revenue cutter Rush, which the Govern
ment sent to the Arctic last season, can make
only eight knots an hour. and the Bear
is equally slow. In feet there is
not a suitable Government ship On
tte coast which can make over ten knots.
Hence u steamer which averages over twelve
knots could run away from the Govern
ment vessels and Kill seals wherever she
pleased. Even some sehooners Inst season
escaped from the Rush. aided by heavy fogs.
Either the Government will have 10 charter q
swift steamer or there will lie more sea! poach-
ing than ever In Behring Sea.
AS every skin the new company takes costs
1t $l3.33. 1t will have difficulty in making a
profit. especially II the Russian company makes
up rs deficit Of 40 100 skins and il the ponchers
