business. From their perch high over
the angry sea they watched for sea otter
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 a distance too great for
the range of their guns. The canoe
sometimes also gave them communica-
ton 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 cage. This was
firmly fastened to a tree on shore at one
end, and to a 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 it that they are the
llutSI anu luc DOdlulCh
in the world is we'll sustained. This is
only to be expected, for the precious fur
they hunt-a No. 1 sea otter some
times selling for as much as $300-al-
lures the hardest and most skillful
hunters. Along the strip of coast run
ming north from Gray's harbor are a
half dozen white men and a score of
natives whose sole industry is to hunt
this animal. One fellow of the Quinailt
tribe has not only made good livingy
but claims to have in a safe that hei
picked up in a wreck near by furs valued
at $4,000. He is the most successful
hunter in the lot, and is waiting for o.
rise in the market. He will probably
get 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-t
times, but ordinarily he shoots from the
shore. Along the beach are tripod
shaped "derricks" standing at the edge
of the surf, from which the white man.
watches, days at time, for his game.l
His fine rifle brings down the game at
600 or 500 yards almost without fail,
1t is perfect weapon, perfectly kept;
the rifles are carefully cleaned with al
piece of linen after every shot, and a
hair sight and neutrality-suspicious. ira

Indian, chasing his game at sea with 4
shotgun, generally follows family of

around Chesapeake bay, and occasional.
ly for trips to New York and the New
England coast. The Tallapoosa was q
swift sloop which was often used by
President Hayes; but the Tallapoosa
was sunk in collision with a Yankee
fishing smack off the Massachusetts
coast, and the Dispatch has been the
official yacht for the presidents ever
since.
Do you remember that when Harrison
was president he had grandson named
Benny Mckee? He was no brighter
and no better than other little boys, but
the newspapers were filled with lauda-
tions of Baby Mckee, and his peculiari-
ties. One morning President Harrison
went aboard the Dispatch for trip
down the Potomac, and took his family
with him. Of course Baby Mckee was
there, too. In compliance with the
request of the employees at the navy
yard, President Harrison came on deck
and began to make little speech to the
men, when Baby Mckee inside the yacht
began to cry and howl over some baby
trouble. He yelled and yowled and
howled, until he broke up the speech
of his grandfather, who went inside,
pacifed the kid, and then came back to
conclude his speech to the worllingmen.
When he went on his speech-making
tour in 1891, President Harrison did not
take Baby Mckee with him. He conse-
quently did not have his oratory dis
turbed by competition with the cratic
lungs of his precocious grandchild.
During the present administration the
secretary of the navy has made use Of
the Dispatch for his own pleasure trips
because President Cleveland preferred
the Violet and the Oneida.
II he were disposed to accept them,

mud while the others were getting one.
He had too much intelligence to steal
all his mud from one nest, so the loss
was not noticed for some time.
But his sins found him out at last.
One of the other swallows got back be-
fore he was expected, and found the rob-
Der plundering his house. He pitched
upon the thief at once, and they fell to
fighting. Then the rest OF the flock
began to return. suppose the first one
screamed, in swallow language: Come
here! Come here! This lazy rascal has
been stealing our mud!'
"In an instant there was a tremendous
chattering. The whole flock began to
peck ut the thief and to beat him with
their wings. They drove him out of his
nest and away across the stream. Then
they all fell to and pulled from his nest
all the mud that was fresh enough to
use on their own.
II don't think the thief came back at
all. l noticed that his nest was not
finished that summer. What became OF
his mate? 7 don't know. One of the
sad things in life is the fact that mans
wife has to share the consequences of
his wrong doing."-Youth's Companion.
