Get back! Get of" His companions hui
ried up. They found him on the center of
the trestle beating two tin plates like Gym
balls and dancing like a dervish. At the
other end of the bridge appeal ed the cause
OF his exoitement-a huge bear coming at
him. stepping steadily from tie to tie.
But for the timely arrival of reinforce
ments the consequences OF the meeting
might have proved serious for Jean Bap-
tiste. As it was, Mr.. Bruin decided that
discretion was the better part OF yal0r,
and, with what sounded susplcIously like
an oath, effected a reluctant retreat.
Those on board the barque Golden Star
during one of her voyages from CHINA TO
England did not get off by any means SO
we'll. and the captain of the vessel certainly
had good reason for registering a VOW that
he would never again allow his passenger
list TO include a live bear. Among the
items of a large and varlously assorted
cargo was a 500 pound bruin, confined Sc
curely, it was thought, in q strong wooden
cage, which was placed on the deck abaft of
the captains cabin.
One night as they wore changing watch
Mr.. Bruin pred off one of the wooden bars
of the cage and got out. He shifted the
strong salt breeze for n moment, and then
began wandering about the deck.
Suddenly he espied the man at the wheel.
and without further ceremony he crawled
up to him and. rising on his launches,

The sailor, of course. let go of the wheel,
the ship immediately broached to, and fell
off her course, the sails tiapped wildly in
the wind, and the pinnacle light was ex-
tineuished in the struggle.
The first officer. alarmed at the sudden
lufching of the vessel, rushed on deck.
Close to the wheel he perceived a dark
form. Hello, there, you lubber." bawled
out the mate. what do GU mean sleeping
at your post?' Then he administered a
sound kick at what he mistool for the
sleeping sailor. but which to his horror
turned out to be the bear.
With d snort of rage the brute hurled
himself upon the first officer. telling him to
the deck with a blow of his paw. By this
time the captain and crew were all on deck,
aud for u few minutes there was q pitched
battlp, until the bear blokeaway, clambered
up the shrouds and perched himself com
fOrtab!v in the crosstrees.
The captain took q census and found
halt the crew disabled, the original victims
being nearly dead. Enraged at the spec
tacle he peppored way with his revolver
and finally succeeded in killing the bear,
and the animal fell to tho deck with n loud
crnsh; and when the Golden star reached
the Cape of Good Hope her sails were torn
to shreds, her binnacle broken, in fact, she
was badly damaged all round.
A still moro thrilling encounter was that
which took 1lace between the heroic wife

Quebec, and an enormous bear IN the early

One who has spent many years among the
forests of Ontario AYERS that be has seen
bear babies play, tumble, laugh and cry,
inst as our own children do; and that some
times a whole bear family would greet his
ewes as they walked soberly along together,
precisely like a family of Christians going

The same authority assures Ms that 'brer

most natural way possible when his feelings

suddenly encountered in a BURBERRY patch
on a rock at once made for the other SIDE
in great haste, and, treading on some loose
moss, lost his footing, and fell over q cliff
nearly twenty feet high, landing with a
bump on the hard stones below. As he got
mn to continue his flight his tcne and re-
marks sounded decidedly ill-humored ana
prolane.
Another time this observer met a year
old bear in the height of the mosquito sea-
son. He was walking on three legs ana
using the spare paw to rub his itching
nose, all the while giving uttersnce to his
opinions ON the mosquito plague with a
force and fervor worthy of an army mule
driver with Ills team hopelessly mired.
Some time ago a big bear took possession
of a deserted railway camp at SquaW Hull
and held the fort for three years, in spite
of being often fired at by men passing on
hand cars or ~lorries. One evening a French
Canadian cook was Q. ossing a ttestle bird Se
