lies in Il desire to evade the payment

strange Story of the Remarkable
Conduct of Sea Animal.
From the Edinburgh Dispatch
A gentleman residing in Broughty
Ferry, who owns a yacht, took run
down the river the other day. accom-,
panied by some friends, for the pur,
pose of having a seal hunt. On the
banks at the mouth Of the estuary they
saw large numbers of seals, old and
young. Believing that these creatures
are attracted by whistling they tried
the experiment. and were surprised to
observe young seal following in the
wake OF the yacht. Continuing to
whistle the creature followed up the
river, disappearing for a time, and then
reappearing with it's head above the
surface of the water. 1t was not fa1
off when the yacht reached it's anchor
age in West Ferry bay, and after the
yachtmen went ashore they were mors
than astonished to see the young seal
Hopping up the beach behind them. So
tame was the creature that they had
no difficulty in capturing it. 1t was
carried to their home. It was we'll fed
and cared for. Not having a proper
place for keeping such a pet 1t was
resolved to restore it to it's natural ele-
ment, and the yatchmen proceeded
down the rivre to the neighborhood of
Broughty castle. where it was placed
in the water. So attached, however,
had the seal become to it's captors that
1t refused to leave and again followed
them home to West Ferry.
