The mission is a secret one and nothing i, known regarding t other than the fact that heir destination is Sltka. The Grant will prolab y start for the north in a few days.
 The Bear k now at the Port Orchard drvdock. She will be there. it i> said, for the next three months and, there fore. the officers expect they Il be detained at Sitka until about the tin e the cutter is ready for commi. si' Il again.
 While it is merely guess, it is inti- mated that the duty calling the Bears officers to Sitka has something to do with the fur seal fishing as. it is stated complaints have reached the goVerr- ment regarding some infractions of the law.
