where the water undergoes such a
change.
Captain Moser, late of the Albatross,
is convinced that the Pacific Ocean, owing
to its rocky bottom, is unsuitable to the
lobster.
The ideal bottom should be soft and
more or less muddy, permitting the lob
ster to burrow and hide.
Captain Moser also thinks that the seals
have had much to do with the disappear
ance of the lobster, and it is fact that,
all said to the contrary, no Eastern lob
ster has ever been caught on the Pacific
Coast.
Francis Hobert Herrick, Phi. D., pro-
fessor of biology in Adelbert College Of
Western Reserve University, gives a brief
tions, which have been detailed by him in
a most exhaustive work on the Life His
tory of the Lobster
The geographical range of the lobster
comes about 20 degrees of north latitude,
from the thirty-fifth TO the fifty-second
parallels, and includes a strip of the At
lantic Ocean 1900 miles long and from
thirty to fifty miles broad.
The most northern point at which its
capture has been recorded is Henley har-
bor, Labrador; the most southern point
the coast of North Carolina.
In speaking of the migration of the lob
ster Professor Herrick has this to say:
The San Francisco call., 1901-11-24

mo coastwise migrations are known
to occur, but large numbers of Holsters
move to and from deep water in fall and
spring, the migration being Influenced by
the temperature of the ocean, by the
abundance of food and TO some extent by
the molting and breeding habits"
The Albatross has a most enviable rec
ord for work splendidiy carried out and
accomplished. She made her first cruise
in 1888 under Captain t. L. Tanner. and
up to the present time her dredging rec
ords include data connected with 17S6
hauls of the dredge beam. trawl, etc., at
all depths, from the shore down to 4l7'
fathoms and cover areas extending fron
the banks of Newfoundland along both
coasts of North and South America to
Bering Sea, with limited areas in the trop-
ical Pacific and the region from Japan to
Kamschatka. Since the Albatross went
into commission she has been in charge OF
four naval commanders. whose periods of
service have been as ccllows: November,
1882. to May, 1894. T. L. Tanner; May. 1894,
to MAY. 1896, F. ]. Drake; May 1896 to
October 25, 1901, j. F. Moser, and on Octo-
Der 2s, 1901. Chauncey Thomas took COM
mand.
The Albatross has been detailed at va
rious times for special work in other de-
partments.
In 1889 she was assigned to the service
of the Senate Committee on Indian AT

signment consisting of $50 egg-bearins
Holsters, procured in Boston, but only
few Holsters reached the coast alive
They were deposited in San Francisco
Bay at Oakland on June u.
Mr.. Stone did not make another attempt
till 1879, when he brought over twenty
two females, to which were attached
100000 eggs nearly ready to hatch Twen-
ty-one Holsters arrived safely and were
deposited in excellent condition off Bonita
Lighthouse, in sheltered position a few
miles outside of the Golden Gate.
Nine years later the Fish Commission
sent, under the charge of j. Frank
Ellis, a relatively large number of adult
and embryo Holsters to California, which
were planted in Monterey Bay.
On June 90 OF the same year 162 Holsters
were placed in the sea about three-quar-
ters of a mile off shore from Pacific Grove
in water twelve fathoms deep with a
rocky bottom.
A second plant of ninety-fve Holsters
was made July mile off Point Lobos.
On July the AlbatrosS left San Fran.
cisco with thirty Holsters on board, the
enteen females. These were planted off
Trinidad Lighthouse.
A further shipment was made in Jan
uary, 1889, in charge of ]. Frank Ellis
These were intended for the Washington
and Oregon coasts. OF the 710 Holsters
sent out, 233 survived the trip and were
placed as follows: Eighty-eight off Cape
Disappointment at the mouth Of the Co.
lumbia River, twenty-five in Shoalwater
Bay and 123 in Puget Sound, n~a~ Port
Townsend
The question naturally arises, Where
are the lobsters?''
The Fish Commissioners were anxious
to have this question answered so the AL
batross has been setting pots on her way
down. First at Port Townsend then sew
eral at Cape Flattery.
At Cape Disappointment the pots were
left in the care of the captain of the life
saving station. On arriving off the Faral-
lones man was left on the islands to
set pots there.
Yet the question remains unanswered,
"Where are the lobsters?" No one knows.
A. B. Alexander, fishing expert on
of the Alaskan coast afford better condi-
tions for the lobster than exist on the
shores of the Pacific Coast, chiefly urging
that the temperature and other environ
ments of that region correspond more
closely to the home of the lobster on the
Atlantic Coast"
'It is quite evident" he, continues, that
Holsters require great change in temper
ature of water, far greater than they
would find off the Pacific Coast below
50 degrees north latitude, from the fact
that they are only found in latitudes

that" Mr.. Chamberlain concluded.
Many of the lakes. though fordable.
have quicksand bottoms, and. while ex-
amining one of them Mr.. Rodman, the
senior officer, with heavy pack of in
struments and guns, suddenly began to
sink
The moment was critical one, but with
rare presence of mind he stood perfectly
still and called to one of the Indians 10
come and take his pack.
The Indian moved gingerly to within
two feet of Mr.. Rodman and took his
pack from behind, and with the load off
his shoulders he ceased to sink and slowly
moved back out of danger.
With the dangers there are the pleas
ures. The magnificent scenery, the gla-
ciers, the woods and the wonders of the
Alaskan country-all tell a story impress
sive to the mind.
1t is q unique country, with its clear
air, so perfect for photography; the can
neries and salters, the hatcheries-all read
a lesson to any one anxious to gain
knowledge.
Then there is the well earned rest on
board the cozy ship after hard days
work
The swapping Of experiences over the
well cooked dinner; the fragrance of the
after dinner weed-all these good things
make an entente cordiale" and force one
to forget the iciness of the rivers crossed,
the shaking sand and the whirling pools.
The cruise in Alaskan waters was cut
short this year on account of smallpox
breaking out on board at Naked Island
anchorage, Prince William Sound, the
ship going into quarantine at Swansdown
Harbor.
The cases fortunately proved very slight
ones.
On the 18th of September the Albatross
started another important work, namely
the setting of pots for Holsters.
The following notes on the history OF
the planting of Eastern Holsters in the Pa
cific Ocean will give an idea of the great
persevering trouble that has been taken
in the past to introduce the Eastern lob
ster on the coast.
Five attempts have been made. The
first trial was a failure, owing to a rail-
road accident; the others were successful
to the extent of reaching the coast with
live Holsters and depositing them in suit
able waters.
In 1873 Livingston Stone, who repre-
sented the United States Fish Commits
sion, made his first attempt to transport
live Holsters.
He started with 162 Holsters obtained
from Woods Holl and Massachusetts Bay.
BY the breaking of a railroad bridge
over the Elkhorn River, near Omaha, the
aquarium car was wrecked. In 1874 Mr..
Stone made a second attempt, the con-

6 EE United States steamship Alba
'tross has lately returned from
cruise Of several months in the wa
tiers OF Southeast Alaska, where she
has been investigating the salmon
fisheries.
The cannsries Of Alaska have grown so
much In numbers and size in the last few
years and so many millions Of dollars
have been invested in them that it is well
for the companies that their fisheries re-
ceive 50 much Government care and at
tention.
II iE not SO very long ago that all sorts
OF schemes and devices were in force to
trap the salmon on the run up for the
spawning season.
The bsrricade was the most usual trap,
consisting Of tree thrown across the
stream and heavy logs nailed to the tree
coming up would find themselves stopped
by the barricade and would not have the
sense to attempt to leap, and were
slaughtered wholesale.
There is now a fine Of $1,000 for any one
found using bsrricade and $3.50 per diem
for maintenance Of the same and, as
many Of the companies now fish the same
streams, they keep a sharp lookout for
ono another's shortcomings.
The work done on this last cruise of
the Albatrose has been mainly the ex-
animation Of hatcheries already working
and the selection of good points in the
streams for future hatcheries.
Visits to most Of the large canneries
were made, with an idea of getting some
knowledge Of the seasons catch, the sys-
TEN Of packing and the general routine
work.
Many of the streams were explored this
year with the aid Of the Indians and their
canoes and there are certain risks that
the explorers run.
Mr.. Chamberlain, assistant fish expert
Of the AIbatross, gives an experience that
a young officer and he had on one of the
lakes they were exploring. 1t appears
that they got into rapid water and their
boat came pretty near capsizing and some
Of their paraphernalia fell overheard.

rapids after the various articles and as
