He was member of an exploring eXpedi-

several years ago. Members Of the party
who were more sportive than scientific in
their inclinations spent good deal of
time hunting polar bears. Lieutenant
Bevier used to go out with them OCCASION

took away all desire for that kind of sport,
and he never went with them again.

on the ice with two cubs beside her. She
was q magnificent specimen, nearly as
