apparently ten or fifteen OF the animals
Boats were quickly lowered and pullad away,

OF the rifles from both boats and the hoarse
believing OF the walrus showed that the sport
had really commenced. The Captain stopped
two or three on an ice cake and then made

bodies to the Ice. For the next ten hours the
sport continued. As fast as the walrus were
killed they were either secured to u cake OF

then left for the ship to pick up while the

The presence OF the Falcon seem cd to render
the animals little loss puRnacious than

excitement. Two herds OF tho amin ais attacked
Entrikin's hoat at the same time. and one OF
them had its tusks over the gunwale when
he was In the bottom OF the boat. where he
had been thrown by the conclusion. The ex-
