Movements and Charters.

The sealing schooner Undaunted from
Alaska slipped in at an early hour yester-
day morning and soon after was tied up at
Mission No. 2. She is the second of the
sealing fleet to return, and as the result of
her short seasons work brought in about
400 sealSkins. These were captured be-
tween Kodiak and Middleton Island, for
the schooner did not enter the Behring Sea
at all. Seals were very lentiful outside
and many of the schooners did very well.
Captain Larson states that one vessel be-
longing to Victoria reported having taken
over 1000 skins. None Of the war-ships
were sighted by the Undaunted, but before
she left Kodiak it was reported that eight
sealers had been captured by the cruisers.
Most of the captured were British schooners.
The Undaunted is owned by Harry Cope of
Kodiak and will at once begin to load
cargo of merchandise for that port When
she left Kodiak several of the sealers were
heading for San Francisco and some of
them may be expected in at any time.
