could scarcely suppress his laughter on
finding that his "decoy," as he called it,
had given so much trouble, and thor
oughly done them. although he was
quite ignorant of the plot he had unit
tentionally laid for them.
The "decoy,' an old, insecure safe,
which was always purposely kept
empty. was one of Mr.. Mnrsden's in
genious ideas for throwing burglars Off
the scent. being fixed in prominent
position to attract notice, while other
safes containing the valuables were far

with n united and terrific effort, the
outer door was loosened from its sock

and shot them. Behind the rock in an
eddy that was comparatively quiet they
kept their canoe, foot and hand holds
down the side of the rock giving them
access to their craft, in which they
would search for the otter they had
killed, or perhaps chase their quarry
when sighted at Il distance too great for
the range of their guns. The canoe
sometimes also gave them communica-
tion with the shore, but not always.
Another and stranger method of travel
secured to these otter hermits access to
the mainland in the worst weather-an
endless line, carrying a cage. This was
firmly fastened to tree on shore ut one
end, and to wedge driven firmly into
a cleft in the rock on the island. With
out this line the men were not safe from
the breakers. which often beat clear up
over their little cottage during the
storm.
Sea otter hunting IS a most peculiar
and hazardous business, and the boast
Of those that follow il that they are the
finest marksmen and the finest boatmen
in the world is well sustained. This is
only to be expected, for the precious fur
they hunt--a No. sea otter some
times selling for as much as social
lures the hardest and most skillful
hunters. Along the strip Of coast run
ming north from Gray's harbor are q
half dozen white men and Il score of
natives whose sole industry is to hunt
this animal. One fellow of the Quinailt
tribe has not only made n good living,
but claims to have in n safe that he
picked up in wreck near by furs valued
at $4,000. He is the most successful,
huater in the lot, and is waiting for .
rise in the market. He will probably
get a heavy premium before he dies
he is still young--for the otter is fast
being eXterminated.
There are several methods OF hunting
the otter The Indian chases the animal
through the surf and out at sea with his
canoe. SO does the white man some
times, but ordinarily he shoots from the
shore. Along the beach are tripod
shaped "derricls" standing at the edge
of the surf from which the wh,e man
watches, days at n time, for his game.
His fine rifle brings down the game at
GOO or 500 yards almost without fail.
1t is perfect weapon, perfectly kept:
the rifles are carefully cleaned with
piece of linen after every shot, and n
hair sight and carefully-scratched ira
lection slide shows the marksman just
where he can hit, or has hit before. The
Indian, chasing his game at sea with 4
shotgun, generally follows a family Of
otter until he runs them down.
