SEALING IN LABRADOR.
Fields Many Miles Square Fairly Teeming
With Seals.

Late in February the Newfoundland
sealing steamers break through the ice
in st. Johns harbor and make their
way to some northern outposts, lying
there until March 10, the earliest date
on which the law allows them to Ego
to the ice. !" They stand out to sea until
they meet the immense fields of ice
from the Arctic ocean. These fields are
often many square miles in extent and
fairly TEEN with seals A great seal
hunter told me that the sea seemed
suddenly converted into an ocean Of
seals and ice. The steamer breaks into
the jam and floats with it or skirts
along the edge, the crew. 200 or 800 in
number, taking to the floating ice and
living there for days and nights.
The young seals fatten so rapidly that
sealers say you can actually see them
grow while you are looking at them.
The poor creatures are easily killed. a
blow with the butt end of a gait finish
ing them. The hunter then ''sculps, I"
or skins them, inserting sharp knife
under the fat, and with marvellous dex-
terity taking off the ''pelt" and
fat together-in about minute and a
half. A party Of men will pan" their
pelts-pile them up to the number OF
about 1000 and thrust gait with the
ships flag into the pan. When there
are pans enough, the steamer breaks in
to the ice and hauls them aboard with
a donkey winch. or the men drag them
to the vessels side
The Newfoundland seal hunters al
ways speak of seals as "swiles, and
for our word carry they say spell. F" A
schoolmaster who had been listening to
a seal hunters story said sneeringly:
"Swilesi How do you spell swiles9"

hunter; I'VE most generally hauls
